It’s that time of the year again when you sit with your family, make DIY Christmas crafts and deck the halls with lights, garlands, Christmas-themed ornaments, wreathes, and stockings. It’s time to spread the joy and cheerfulness of the season with new and modern décor elements that will fill your living space with the holiday spirit.
But it can be quite difficult to find just the right décor elements and Christmas-themed decorations to give your home the kind of festive makeover that will make your space look merry and cohesive.
From wooden beads and gilded baubles to snow-flecked paper cutouts, here’s how to give your home a festive makeover this holiday season.
Decorating the Christmas Mantel
One of the most effective ways to give your living space a festive makeover is by decorating the Christmas mantel. The hearth is the main gathering place during the holiday season, where all the family members sit together with roasted chestnuts and a steaming mug of hot chocolate and sing Christmas songs.
Give your Christmas mantel a makeover by coordinating your mantel décor with Christmas tree décor. Opt for glittery gems, woodland birds, and vintage figurines, and curate a color palette that will help you achieve a cohesive look.
You can even opt for a creative theme like a woodland theme with painted pine cones, mushrooms, bright roses, and vintage artwork.
And if nothing else looks appealing, you can never go wrong with red. Red ribbons, Christmas baubles, petite chandeliers, and well-crafted wreathes can help you create the perfect Christmas wonderland of your dreams.
Subtle and Timeless
If you enjoy minimalistic home décor elements even during the holiday season, we have some ideas for you.
Keep things minimal with miniature Christmas trees with your favorite heirloom Christmas ornaments arranged around them like a festive tableau. You can always choose a subtle splash of color with red and green or do something different this year with bright citrusy hues.
You can create a focal point by placing a scene-stealing dining centerpiece and adding whimsical red ribbons, tinsel baubles, and a sprig of mistletoe to craft a living space that sparks absolute joy.
If you’re looking for a Christmas tree alternative, you can look into petite topiaries accessorized with metallic spheres, bone bead snowflakes, and jeweled ornaments crafted from quartz and geodes.
Maximalist to the Max
If minimalist décor appears dull, why not give your home a maximalist makeover?
Fill your space with traditional holiday colors like white, red, and green, and experiment with rich, luxe hues like garnet and petrol blue. You can choose floral wallpaper in exuberant tones and go for dark wooden floors to make your living space look as lively as possible. Vintage furnishings, tree skirts or collars, tree motifs, and faux garlands can help you achieve a sparkly and visually intriguing living space.
Maximalist spaces are all about rich textures and unique Edwardian touches. Consider adding frilly curtains, Gothic-Revival carved pedestals, gold-gilded light fixtures, and crystal chandeliers to achieve the look.
Welcoming with a Wreath
During ancient times, people believed that wreaths are symbols of unbroken time and used them to decorate their living spaces during special occasions. They even used many creative materials to craft wreaths, including ivy, myrtle, and celery.
Wreaths can look compelling no matter where you hang them and can make your space more welcoming and warm. You can hang them on your front doors, the entrance hall, the doorway, or the mantel.
Get creative this year and add a touch of glamor to your wreaths with silver floral appliques, sparkly embellishments, tiny cardboard houses, and miniature deers. You can hang your wreath over a multifaceted mirror to create a radiant effect.
You can also consider crafting a wreath from your local thrift store, and flea market finds like tinsel baubles, garlands, vintage ornaments, and red bows to decorate your wreath in a way that reflects your personality.
You can also turn fallen tree branches into simple and adorable mini-wreaths using ribbons and some of your favorite tiny ornaments.
Lights, Color, and a Charming Arboreal Effect
There is something very charming about giving your home a rustic makeover, especially during the holidays. You can add unparalleled charm to your living space by filling them with fresh pine cones, vintage furnishings, evergreen trees, vibrantly patterned rugs, and twinkling candles in intricate candle holders.
Introduce warm metallic into your space with starburst pendants and visually appealing accents in an earthy hue. For the true woodland atmosphere, add a fresh and fragrant eucalyptus (or a faux one) over the mantel, and you can spruce it up with a simple wreath and string lights.
