Posted on - 24th October 2023

As we’re coming to the end of October and, therefore, the Halloween season, it may be time to start thinking about Christmas. With so much to do around the festive period, it may be difficult to think about how you’re going to decorate your home. That’s why we’ve created this handy guide to give you some inspiration as to how you can decorate your home to impress your family and friends! Whether you’re looking for simple decorating ideas or are looking to transform your style with new furniture, read on to find out how you can change your home into your own winter wonderland.

Light Candles

Candles are ideal at any time of year for relaxation or to add some warmth to the room, but they are even better for the festive season! Choosing a scented candle can add to the festive atmosphere, whilst adding a calming effect to your home. Lighting candles as well as decorating your house with Christmas lights is the perfect way to get into the holiday mood! Try scents such as cinnamon, pine and citrus for a warm, cosy feel.

Festive Lighting

We think this is a given! Christmas is nothing without some festive lighting - whether that’s inside or outside. You may get that festive feeling when you’re driving through the streets on the way home from work and you see everyone’s Christmas lights in and around their home. That’s when you know it’s that time of year again! Whilst we’d consider draping the lights around the tree and along the garage as standard practice for Christmas lights, there are many other ways to get creative with your lights - you can add them to your staircase bannisters, around your doorways or entwine them with your evergreen garlands. The list goes on!

Natural Elements

Adding natural elements to your home throughout the year brings a new lease of life and a breath of fresh air and around Christmas time is no different. If you’re looking to create a cosy atmosphere in your home, perhaps for friends and family gatherings - pinecones, bundles of cinnamon sticks or dry fruit garlands help to add that rustic feel to your home, whilst doubling up as unique decorations that your guests will love. You may also want to consider getting a real Christmas tree to add to the natural aesthetic!

DIY Decorations

If you’d rather get the whole family involved in decorating from the beginning, homemade decorations are a great way to bond as a family and keep the kids entertained over the Christmas holidays. Some ideas include paper snowflakes, baubles, Christmas cards or Christmas crackers. Not only is this a great way to keep your children involved, but it’s on the cheaper side too.

Try a Different Theme

Thinking of changing up from the traditional Christmas colours and themes? Trends in colour schemes over Christmas are ever-changing, with new ones being introduced every year. This year, there’s a selection of trends to keep an eye out for - from bright, festive colours to alternative Christmas trees, this guide details everything you need to be looking out for in 2023. If you really want to push the boat out, why not consider some new furniture? From sofas to a range of finishing touches ideal for a festive theme, you have everything you need to create the ideal winter haven!
