Christmas Home Decorations
- Decorating your home for Christmas is not a last minute decision but a decision that needs to be taken atleast a good few days before the day. You don’t want guests arriving at your home while you’re caught up in between the decorations.
- Decide whether you want to decorate your home to the very last inch or to decorate a part of it. Whatever you choose, you can do it by adopting a theme or going by the intuition of what feels and looks good.
- Get a Christmas tree according to the size you want and start working on it. Use ornaments (bells, balls, candies, cotton, toys etc) to decorate the tree. Further adorn them with lights and choose where you want to place the tree: living room, lawn, backyard, or outside the main door.
- Decide if you want to theme decorate the entire house or want to set a different theme in each of the rooms. Apart from the themes, you can also go with different color combinations and decorate accordingly.
- If you’re decorating the whole of your home, don’t forget to cover the main door and the window that is visible from the main street. Miniature Christmas trees (decorated) can be placed at the window and at the either sides of the main door.
- Christmas lights and wreaths are two items that can reach the entire area of your home without making it look cramped because of too much decoration. However, set the lights in such a way that the strings of it don’t come in the way of walking.
- Each and every corner of the home, insides and outsides, can be ornamented with strings of Christmas lights that’ll brighten up the atmosphere after the sundown. Each door and window of your home can have a wreath stuck to it or select as what looks good to your eyes.
- Miniature or midsized centerpieces can be placed in the living room or near the fireplace. The Baby Jesus in the manger with rest of people is best placed along the fireplace.
- Before beginning to decorate your lovely home, don’t forget to clean it up thoroughly. A dirty home with pepped up decorations just doesn’t gel well. Do whatever needs to be done or needs to be fixed.
