Decoration Ideas For The Holidays

When it comes to Christmas decorations, there’s something for everyone this year. Here are the main trends to provide you with some inspiration, along with some great Christmas decorating ideas! And, regardless of the decorating style you choose, make it a point to be consistent in every room of the house, from the door entrance to the Christmas table decorations in the dining room! And… enjoy yourself!

Decoration Ideas For The Holidays

Farmhouse style Christmas

Farmhouse style Christmas

To replicate this setting, fir branches are used in every shape and size, whether it’s as a Christmas wreath, Christmas door decorations, a Christmas garland on the stair railings or on the fireplace mantel etc.! Then add in elements that evoke nature – wood, nuts and pine cones, or cotton flowers, then throw in some older vintage finds like a wooden sled or maybe some old buckets…

Blue and silver

Red and green aren’t the only colours that can be used at Christmas time. For a more wintry decor, blue is a great hue! Combined with white and natural elements (branches and vines), blue allows you to create a cozy Nordic decor; who would have thought? For lights, it might be interesting to blend warm white with cool white.

Metallic and black

Metallic and black

If you’re into glamour, have sparkly lights and place an emphasis on the gold and/or silver look by playing with shapes, motifs and finishes. In terms of complementary or contrasting colours, go for black – a little or a lot, but passionately! And to hide the base of the artificial Christmas tree, use a faux fur sofa throw or black fabric.

An updated version of Traditional

To get this type of decor, choose a white or green Christmas tree – snow-flocked or not – set in a wooden box or jute basket so the foot of the tree is hidden. Choose warm-white Christmas lights to create a cozy ambiance and decorate the tree with wood, natural-coloured ornaments and red and/or green Christmas balls for a traditional touch. Decoration-wise, you can add a few plaid touches, a pretty lantern and red berries here and there.

An all-white Christmas (or almost)

An all-white Christmas (or almost)

For pure-decor enthusiasts a white or snow-flocked green Christmas tree or garland is a great choice. And you can also opt for ornaments in matching shades and adorn them by putting in some artificial flowers! Elegant white Christmas bulbs in a dull finish are currently very trendy. Decoratively speaking, people are choosing glass or transparent acrylic objects to brighten the room.

You would like to adopt some of these ideas in your own space but you don’t know where to start?

Bring Nature Into Your Holiday Decorating

December is here so why not install your holiday decorations?

Holiday Decorating

If you are anything like me, you like the idea of changing it up, but the idea of investing in brand new holiday decorations from A – Z is not attractive at all.

So here are a few ideas:

Visit your local public or farmer’s market as well as bulk food stores for various nuts, dried fruit and stars of anise. You can also enjoy a nice stroll in the woods; I am convinced you will find branches and pine cones waiting for you to give them a new home. Hobby stores and even the dollar store are a great source for ribbons, natural moss, natural fabrics and jute string.

The nicest wreaths are the simple ones.

A simple welcome at your front door, whether it is rustic or elegant, will put a smile on faces, even for those that are just walking or driving by.

A tree that creates a delightful surprise

If you want an easier holiday clean up, do NOT bring a  natural tree with its falling pine needles into your home! Consider one of these non-traditional trees; 100% original as well as being eco-friendly. Gather pretty branches in a container or mount them on the wall with lights.

If your decorations are simple enough, it can be a pure delight creating them by hand

Add a holiday accent to your table, the hallway or your fireplace mantle

Available in the woods and the farmer’s market, natural evergreen branches add an elegant touch as well as a wonderful fragrance to any room or entryway. Tie them up discretely using fishing line or green florist’s wire. Tie-wraps are an option unless they are visible.

Add a single colour

Go ahead and spray paint a dead tree branch, or add a festive touch to your table with pine branches mixed in with colourful fruit or bright ribbons on your chairs.
