Christmas Decorating TipsÃÂ
Christmas is fast approaching and itâÂÂs that time of year where we all go a bit mad decorating our homes to bring some festive cheer to the long winter nights.àPutting up the Christmas decorations is an annual ritual that can be a lot of fun and brings all the family together â especially if youâÂÂve got children. Kids love to help out decorating the tree, whilst getting all excited about the magical promise of the big day. If youâÂÂre looking for some inspiration, here are some handy tips and ideas to help you introduce seasonal warmth and Christmas spirit into your home dÃÂécor.à1àààChoose your tree!àArtificial Christmas trees have a number of advantages over natural ones. They are considered better for the environment, as they can be reused year after year.àThey donâÂÂt shed messy needles onto your floor, and donâÂÂt require watering.àThere are also no problems transporting an artificial tree or getting it stuck in a narrow doorway, as artificial trees are designed to fold up compactly for easy storage.àChristmas trees come in a variety of sizes â choose the best position for your tree, somewhere where itâÂÂs not going to be in the way or get walked into, and select the size according to the space available. Then decide whether you want an unlit tree, which gives you the freedom to decorate it how you like, or a prelit tree. Prelit Christmas trees come ready-strung with clear or colored lights â saving you the hassle of untangling last yearâÂÂs lights. 2àààààHang wreaths âÂÂàbut donâÂÂt just focus on your front door. Christmas wreaths can instantly add festive cheer to any room. For example, you could try hanging a wreath in a window, in your hallway or landing, on a kitchen cupboard or even on the bathroom door! 3 Garlands are another easy decorating idea and can be strewn anywhere you like throughout your home – be creative! Ideas include wrapping garlands around banisters or curtain rails, or draping them over picture frames, shelves, clocks and mantelpieces.àYou could even hang a garland on the headboard of your bed. Have a look round your home and youâÂÂre sure to spot some places that could be livened up with a garland! 4àLights are not just for the tree.àStrings of Christmas lights can be strung up inside your windows to add sparkle to your whole neighbourhood and create a welcoming impression for visitors. You could also hang lights along the tops of walls or along shelves.àTwinkling lights add a magical touch to your dÃÂécor and can look really pretty on a dark winterâÂÂs day. 5 Add scent. |
