So, who here can't wait for Christmas this year? Can't wait to decorate your house with cute Christmas decorations? Let's take a look at the following guidelines first, so that your Christmas decorations this year will be more attractive and memorable.
1. Color Theme
Of course, the first thing that must be determined is choosing a color theme for the decoration. You have to match the color of the decoration to the color of the wall paint in your house and the furniture you have so that the whole decoration looks in harmony with each other. Here are several theme options that you can choose for your Christmas decorations later.
- Classic Christmas colors
Red, green and gold are classic Christmas colors. You can combine this color combination on your Christmas tree, wall hangings and other decorations in your home.
- Shades of snow
If you don't like bright colors like the classic theme, you can choose white, blue and silver to create decorations that resemble a calming atmosphere. Choose Christmas decorations such as snow, white trees, and blue lights for decoration.
- Rustic theme
For those who like earthy colors or natural nuances, you can combine wood, hemp, and leafy green to create a natural and warm feel. You can use decorations such as wooden branches, dried flowers, and rustic themed lanterns.
2. Door and window decoration
To decorate the door, you can put a Christmas crown made from holly, pinecones, and red ribbons. Meanwhile, on the windows, you can install lights along the curtains, or attach red ribbons to the curtains.
3. Christmas tree
Celebrating Christmas would be less satisfying without decorating the Christmas tree. Because this is one of the activities that most families look forward to. Choosing and hanging your favorite decorations together is definitely a lot of fun. Christmas ornaments hanging on the tree don't need to be expensive and shiny. You can decorate the Christmas tree with LED lights to make it look twinkling, ribbons, or make DIY decorations that reflect your family's hobbies or hopes. There are also many other Christmas DIY ideas that you can find, not just DIY Christmas ornaments.
4. Living room decoration
You can replace the sofa cushions with Christmas themed pillows and put a red or green blanket on the sofa to give it a warm touch and add a Christmas feel. Apart from that, you can also put candles scented with sandalwood, peppermint or cinnamon to create a very distinctive Christmas aroma.
5. Dining table decoration
In the dining room, you can place Christmas flower arrangements, candles, or mini trees in the middle of the dining table as the center of attention. You can also use Christmas themed plates and cutlery to give a special touch to family meals.
6. Wall decoration
Hanging Christmas pictures or DIY Christmas-themed paintings can also be an option to decorate the walls of your home. Apart from using paintings or drawings, you can also put up an Advent calendar with a Christmas theme to decorate the walls and count down the days until Christmas.
7. Christmas music and sounds
To add to the Christmas atmosphere so that it feels thicker, you can play music with Christmas-themed songs. By playing music, the Christmas spirit will be felt even more and of course you and your family will be looking forward to the arrival of Christmas.
