It’s Christmas time, and it’s time to make the most of the festive season. Chances are you have some basic decorations to put up. But it’s a good idea to add some fresh ones as well. In this article, there are some inspirational ideas to make your home more festive and smell better during the holiday season.
Front Door Decoration
The front door is the threshold to your festive home. Ithopefully should resemble a tasteful Christmas grotto when you’re done. So make your front door set the tone for the decoration to come. For this reason, you might be better off decorating your front door when you finish inside.
It’s about getting the balance right, you don’t want to decorate the front door abundantly. Then guests are disappointed inside the home; similarly, you want to communicate minimal decor if that’s what you’re aiming at. Garlands and wreaths are excellent options on the door.
Festive Home Smells
In the past, the majority of homes had a real pine tree in the front room that gave off an abundant smell of fresh ones for a few weeks. That’s why a lot of people associate the smell of pine with Christmas. But real trees are not practical and have been replaced with artificial ones.
Artificial trees make perfect sense. They are practical, inexpensive, and sustainable – you can use an artificial tree for years without needing a replacement. The downside is it doesn’t have a pine smell. Improve the interior design of your home and replace it with a pine candle scent.
Use the Ceilings
Whether you have low or high ceilings in your home, you can use them to create a more festive atmosphere in the space. High ceilings are the best, but a lot of homes don’t make the most of them. Invest in an extra tall Christmas tree that draws the eyes upwards, creating a luxury look.
Low ceilings can offer some benefits as well. Low ceilings are perfect for low-hanging decorations like tinsel and lights that add to the festive atmosphere without taking up too much space. Garlands intertwined with fairy lights are also excellent for the festive holiday season.
Fairy Light Features
Fairy lights are awesome, and you can never have too many of them during the festive season. They were originally invented for the Christmas tree. After all, putting wax candles on the tree is something of a health and safety hazard. Nowadays, fairy light features are abundant.
We’ve all seen the fairy lights on the outside of homes in our neighborhoods and in the local shopping mall. But they are also perfect for fancy features in the home. Buy some extra fairy lights this Christmas to put inside glass jars and bottles. Then arrange them nicely in the home.
Interesting Elements
Don’t be afraid to get creative this holiday season; after all, creativity and Christmas go hand in hand. Why not make some framed pictures of the walls that say Ho Ho Ho. Create some festive designs on the windows with some artificial snow and stickers? For it is the season to be jolly.
