6. Decorate Unusual Spots Around The Home
While researching and writing our decoration course, we saw a beautiful festive image. A homeowner had toned down most of her decorations, instead she just had a tree and then beautiful garlands around the windows in the main room of the house and kitchen.
The finishing touch was some simple coordinating table centrepieces.
It was toned down, but the effect was powerful.
7. Festive Greens
Holly, pine, spruce, juniper, pinecones, and twigs make rustic and festive decorations with zero damage to the environment.
You can spray some with some gold or silver spray but otherwise, add them to vases and table decorations such as napkin rings, just as they are. You can even create wreaths with them.
They’ll smell beautiful too.
8. Fireplace Hack
If you don’t have a fireplace, but you want to get cosy, fake it.
Place a garland along a stretch of wall to represent the mantlepiece and then fill lanterns with string lights and place them on the floor below.
9. Festive Candles
Find some skinny necked vases, fill with water and place cuts of pine inside. Then add tapered candles for a simple but stunning arrangement.
You can change the contents of the vase to suit the seasons too.
10. Spruce Up Planters For Festivity
Find some garden planters, such as terracotta or galvanised buckets, fill them to the brim with fresh pine, paint a square on the outside with chalk paint, write a festive message on the chalkboard and garnish with fairy lights.
Then dot them around your home for a simple Christmas decoration. As you can see, these ideas are creative and straightforward too. Many of them are also great for the environment. But you’ll learn many more ideas, including how to generate your own christmas decoration ideas by taking the Decoration Course.
