The holiday season is a time that brings a lot of happiness to a family. Therefore, Christmas decoration is essential to continue with the spirit of closing the year well, or simply remember our childhood by transmitting that magic to the little ones. But where to start? How to evoke that warm, welcoming and loving atmosphere? How to achieve that festive spirit? We tell you!
No matter where you are in your life, there are always options to have an unforgettable Christmas season. Whether you are in your apartment as a single woman, in your first year of marriage, or already completely established with your family, decorating the house with Christmas motifs will bring back beautiful memories forever.
Family traditions
Surely in your family there are decorations that have been passed down from generation to generation and continue to be displayed on one of the holidays most loved and longed for by all. Go through those boxes and evaluate which ornaments are simply must-haves for your home.
From the crafts you made as a child, to grandma’s spheres and the latest LED lights on the market, see what works and what doesn’t for your decoration this year and go from there. Family traditions are important to preserve, since they represent our roots, where we come from and where we are going.
Christmas trees
After reviewing what you already have in your house, it is time to think about the greatest Christmas symbol there is: the tree. Depending on tastes and budgets, you can opt for a natural one with that magnificent characteristic smell or, nowadays there are many artificial ones of different colors and textures, even with lights already integrated.
Also, if the size of your house does not allow you to have a large Christmas tree, there are many options for original trees that you can make yourself on a wall and thus not lose the spirit of the holidays. This way, you will always have a special place to put the gifts.
Lights and spheres
After establishing what style of tree you will have, it is time to review the trends. This year the predominant colors are pinks and browns, especially pastel tones. You can apply these to Christmas lights or spheres. In addition, you can place both outside the tree, such as in the windows or your room, to give a special shine and festive atmosphere.
On the other hand, DIY or self-made ornaments are not available, but you can add them without them being too many in your decoration.
Another trend is that now sustainable decoration will reach its maximum splendor, but we should not fall into extreme minimalism either. No, it’s not cozy or festive. Remember that the decoration should also reflect your personality, like that of your family.
Good night
Finally, one of the elements that cannot be missing are poinsettia plants. The typical bright Christmas red color is essential at this time.
Bring the poinsettias to the entrance of your house, around the tree, the stairs or even in the windows. Plus, they will match perfectly if you decide to decorate with gold or silver colors.
