Easy ways to give your home the Christmas touch that it needs
With Christmas and New Year around the corner, people have already started to make conscious efforts to celebrate and rejoice the passing away of another eventful year.
While this joyous occasion is perfect for catching up with near and dear ones, it also calls for some quintessential home decor to spruce up the house for the Christmas party.
Below you will find some great decoration ideas for your home, not only to create a cozy Christmas atmosphere, but give it the festive feel it will need this holiday season as well.
Christmas tree is a must
A Christmas tree is the lifeline of the festival that is celebrated on the birthday of Jesus Christ and one just cannot imagine not having one in the living room at this time of the year.
Children eagerly wait for 25th December to decorate the tree with lights, candles, ornaments and most importantly, Christmas gifts. This centerpiece not only enhances the beauty of the home but also symbolizes hope and renewal.
Elevate the patio
Since conversation over food is obvious during Christmas, your dining area also deserves a festive makeover. A well-decorated outdoor space will enhance the beauty of the meal but also make guests feel special. A centrepiece Christmas tree or small wrapped gifts for every guest will make the occasion more memorable.
Consider placing a metal outdoor dining set, made from resilient aluminium and steel and a durable powder-coated finish that is suitable for any weather and is airy and functional.The circular table will sit five people when paired with metal dining chairs.
Don’t forget color
The importance of color in home decoration should never be underestimated. Try traditional Christmas shades like red, green and gold that will always make an impression. Experiment with modern palettes as well such as white, silver and any pastel tone for giving the living room an elegant look.
A Terra lounge sofa with deep cushions made of aluminum and monochromatic recycled fabric will instantly change the vibe of your room without making a large investment.
Incorporate good lighting
The right lighting will play a pivotal role in setting the tone to make your home Christmas ready. While lanterns are fairy lights are the universal choice, consider also LED candles and Christmas stars in order to create an inviting atmosphere.
Remember to place the lights strategically on windowsill, around the Christmas tree or even on the patio to greet guests with a festive glow. Don’t neglect the balcony, if you have one, or the garden area. Try a few string lights to make the outdoors as festive as the interiors.
Food and drink
Food and drink are the central part of any Christmas celebration and your home can play a role in the festive decor. Place jars of cookies on a terra side table made of durable aluminium and a sturdy powder coated steel base.
This can also work as a speaker stand or drink caddy and can be placed close to a chair, sofa or anywhere else.Hose or wipe it clean and get back to the Christmas festivities.
