Christmas is the time of year when we decorate our homes with festive lights and wreaths, stockings and fairy lights, baubles and tinsel. It’s also the time of year when we put up a tree in our homes and hang stockings on the fireplace.
It’s such a magical time of year that all you want to do is make it even more enchanting! Here are the best Christmas decoration ideas that will help you create your own magical winter wonderland:
Stockings for everyone!
Hanging stockings on the fireplace is one of the most traditional ways to decorate for Christmas. If you don’t have room for all those stockings on your mantelpiece, then use this clever idea from Martha Stewart: hang them from hooks attached to wooden dowels attached to the wall at eye level. This way they won’t take up precious mantel space!
Make your own garlands
Create a sparkly garland by hanging lengths of twine along your staircase banisters or over doorways and windowsills (just like these gorgeous ones from Little Miss Muffin). Or you may try using LED lights instead.
Hang Garland on Windows
Garlands are one of the most popular ways to decorate your home during the holiday season. They can be used to decorate different areas of your home like windows, doors or even your fireplace mantelpiece. You can choose any color combination and hang them using twine or string across the window frame for an elegant look. You can also use garlands as table runners or place them on top of a fireplace mantelpiece for added flair and style!
Decorate Your Mantelpiece with Ornaments
Ornaments are perfect for a Christmas mantelpiece because they add color and sparkle to any room without taking up too much space. You don’t have to worry about finding special places for them because they look great all over the place! Just make sure that you don’t overcrowd your mantel
Christmas tree decoration
You can create a magical atmosphere around the Christmas tree by adorning it with fairy lights and other decorations. You can also wrap it with ribbons, bows and other colorful items to make it look elegant.
Light Up Your Porch
A lighted up porch will make your house look welcoming as well as festive! Use battery-operated string lights for an inexpensive option that is easy to install and remove when not needed anymore. You can also use solar powered ones which will save money on electricity bills.
Fairy lights
Fairy lights are one of the best ways to add a warm glow to your home and create a festive atmosphere. They’re also perfect for those who don’t want to go all out with too much clutter.
Themed trees
If you want something a bit more traditional, then themed trees can be great for bringing some extra character into your home over the festive period. There’s no shortage of themes available from snowmen through to Santa Claus himself.
Candles and lanterns
Candles and lanterns can give your home an enchanting glow during the darker months, but they can also help add some warmth on those cold nights too! Just make sure you don’t leave them unattended otherwise it could be dangerous if they get knocked over or catch fire.
