Decorating for Christmas at home – how can you do it?
With our ideas and tips you can create beautiful Christmas decorations yourself.
When decorating for Christmas at home, you can break old rules
We all know the traditional Christmas decorations. Classic elements are the Christmas tree, the Advent wreath and the Santa boots by the fireplace. But shiny Christmas tree balls, stars and garlands, little gnomes and deer should not be missing. According to old tradition, the colors white, green and red predominate in decoration. But this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case if you want to make your Christmas decorations in other colors. Delicate pastel colors such as beige, light pink or sky blue are also perfect for Christmas decorations at home. For example, balls, garlands, stars and candles can of course be in one of these colors. This will bring more variety to your Christmas decorations and make them more attractive!

Decorate for Christmas – from traditional to purist
What style do you want to create your Christmas decorations in? Here you will certainly be spoiled for choice because the options are really numerous. One better than the other! Traditionally, there is a richly decorated Christmas tree in the living room. You also have to decorate the fireplace for Christmas and make it an eye-catcher in the room. Smaller arrangements sit on shelves, side tables and dressers. These can also be in a rustic style. That’s the old tradition, that’s how a lot of people do it these days.
The traditional Advent wreath is a must-have in every Christmas decoration.
The Christmas tree is usually decorated the same way it was 100 years ago.

But over time, new shapes and colors have been invented for Christmas decorations. Modern-thinking people step back from too much jewelry and prefer to opt for minimalist decoration. Sometimes less is more, and that applies here too. If you want to decorate for Christmas in the Scandinavian style, then you have to think in a new way and limit yourself to light colors and natural materials. Which style you prefer is actually a matter of taste. What is important is that you feel good and relaxed at home, have a wonderful pre-Christmas period and enjoy an unforgettable celebration.

Even a small decorative arrangement can attract everyone’s attention.
Decoration made from natural materials is very trendy!
Use natural materials when decorating at home for Christmas
The more natural, the more beautiful! That’s the motto of Christmas decorations! If you have time, you can collect pine cones, moss, acorns and pine branches during your walk in the forest and use them for your DIY decorations at home. With this you can make an Advent wreath yourself and present it proudly. If this DIY project seems too complicated for you, try making something simpler yourself. For example, you can arrange the green fir branches in a vase and then decorate them with balls, stars, cones, etc. You can find numerous ideas for homemade Christmas decorations on our website if you have time to research them. Christmas decorations made from natural materials may not last very long, but they are stylish and convey the spirit of the holiday. Plus, the scent of pine is so typical of winter that we hardly want to do without it, right?

The magic of lights – an important part of Christmas decorations
Burning candles, tea lights and lanterns – they are an essential part of every Christmas decoration and create the magical atmosphere of Christmas at home. You can place these anywhere and not make a mistake. The only condition is that you must avoid any possible fire hazard. That’s why many people prefer to choose LED lighting. There are LED candles, garlands, etc. on the market that are of course fire-safe. However, in our opinion, they cannot accurately reflect and spread the magic of the festival. But it is a personal matter which lighting you choose. That’s why we want to leave it to you.
Last but not least, we wish you a lot of fun decorating for Christmas at home and spend a cozy and contemplative Christmas with your loved ones!
