It’s that time of year again: the time to decorate in preparation for Christmas and all of its festivities. But how about getting a little more creative this year and taking a little bit of a different approach? Sure, you can put up your Christmas tree like you do every year, but you can have a little more fun and create a more unique look in your home for all of your guests to enjoy if you follow the creative Christmas decorating ideas below.
Get New Window Treatments
The winter season is here, so it’s the right time to replace your window treatments. If you have sheer curtains and drapes up right now, you can opt for window treatments that are made of thicker, heavier fabrics that will keep the heat in your home and create a really inviting and cozy atmosphere. A great option for the holiday season is velvet, and you can choose from a variety of great colors, such as deep reds, greens, and purples, that bring the spirit of the season into your home.
Bring the Light Inside
While you can certainly put some lights on the outside of your home and you can frame your windows with lights to make your home look festive this holiday season, why not also decorate the interior of your home with some twinkling Christmas lights? Hang them up along your fireplace or along with your bedroom dresser. Put them in the living room along the floor, or even in your kitchen by the table. You’ll create a cozy atmosphere, and you’ll be illuminating your home in a warm and tranquil glow. For extra spruce up, you could choose to have Perfume Wax Melts as a part of your Christmas decorations, to have a warm, perfumed ambiance for the night (and the day as well)!
Display Miniature Evergreens
Miniature evergreens are adorable and provide a great contrast to the large holiday trees that people prefer for the presents that will be found on Christmas morning. You can place a trio of fresh mini evergreens in white pots, or decorate plain pots with ribbons and lights, and then place them in your living room, dining room, or kitchen to bring the fresh fragrance of these plants into your space. Just make sure that, if you have pets, you only bring in plants that are non-toxic.
Add Garland to Your Windows
In addition to focusing on your curtains and drapes for the holidays, you can also add some garland to your windows as a creative way to inspire your holiday cheer. The window over your kitchen sink or the one next to your desk in your office are a couple of examples of where an evergreen garland would go perfectly. You can even hang some ornaments from the garland if you wish. So rather than only putting garland on your tree and wrapping it around your stair’s handrails, pop it into some unexpected places too.
Just like you get creative when it comes to decorating your tree with ornaments, you can get just as imaginative and have just as much fun when it’s time to decorate your home for the holidays. With the tips above, you’ll love the way your house looks, and you’ll find it hard to take down your decorations after the New Year.
