Use vintage ornaments and decorations
There’s no need to reinvent the wheel each holiday season. Hand-made items are very trendy, and give your tree a unique look.
Napkin decorations
Surprise guests with original napkin rings at the Christmas table. Spray paint pine with silver and glue them atop a red ribbon. Other original items that you could place on napkins could be Santa-Claus faces or Christmas tree pieces.
Make the most of your landscape
Get some Christmas globes lights and some tinsel, and start decorating. Your neighbours will love what you’ve done on your property.
Use colours that match your décor
For the best Christmas tree design, choose a colour pattern and decorate in sections. Make sure your tree is well balanced; colours and ornaments placed in symmetry.
Decorate your coffee table
The coffee table is an important item of your living room, in terms of utility and design. Don’t skip it from your Christmas decoration plan. Ornate it with a bowl of silver sprayed pine cones, cookies or decorations.
Don’t ignore staircases
Wrap some branches around your staircase railings or benches and decorate with ornaments and tinsel.
Place Christmas pillows around your home
Cushions are an important part of a home’s design, and they shouldn’t be ignored during the holiday season. To create another element to your Christmas design, grab some Christmas-themed pillows and decorate your lounge.
Decorate Your Outdoor Trees
You probably place a wreath on your front door every year. But have you thought about decorating your trees? Adding baubles and tinsel is a simple and effective way to make your yard look Christmassy.
