Simply put: Less is more. Select a holiday palette for your interior décor this holiday season and stick to it! You can go with a traditional red and green with accents of white. Or, you can give your house a more modern twist by keeping everything neutral: beiges, whites with accents of gold! To help you make your decision, check out Coolors.co. Play around with the palette maker to make your home perfect for the holidays.
We love our traditional Christmas decorations and ornaments, but this year why not try something new? Recently interior decoration has taken a more minimalist and modern turn. With the hype over Scandinavian concepts such as Hygge and Lagom, it is no surprise that the way in which we choose to decorate our houses is also à la Scandinavie. Check out My Scandinavian Home for some inspiration: geometric ornaments, a barely decorated Christmas tree, and solid, neutral colours are just some of the main elements of such a take on Christmas decorations.
If you’re putting in the effort to wrap your Christmas presents to perfection, then you deserve to show them off! Why not use them as decoration? Line your staircase with presents, and place them under the tree of course! Not only will this add a more festive to your décor but it will also help you to personalise your home for this holiday season.
Gold is a great accent colour for this time of the year! It allows you to set the festive atmosphere and introduce a bit of warmth and cosiness into your home. The best part is that gold accents can be part of any colour combination you choose this holiday season. Red and green? Beige and white? Green and white? Regardless of your choice, you can be sure that you will not go wrong with including that little bit of gold to your home.
Rule of three applies to most if not all artistic endeavours and decorating your house for Christmas should not be considered anything less than art. When you’re feeling a little stuck and not sure how to move on, bring yourself down to the three most essential elements of your Christmas decorations and start from there.
Lights are an essential part of Christmas. This is something you cannot miss out on when decorating your home. Don’t forget to be creative with this aspect of your décor! Lights don’t just belong on the Christmas tree. You can wrap the balustrade of your staircase, line the mantle of your fireplace, and even integrate them into the other decorations that you have placed in your home.
This holiday season is about family and there is no reason why you should not take the time to personalise your decorations. It can be as simple as attaching a nametag to the stockings above your fireplace or even sewing them on to making your own ornaments for your tree! Jumbo and Manor have great options for handmade decorative items.
