It’s only natural to stay inside more often in Decemeber – it’s cold and gloomy outside and the twinkling lights of Christmas can make it feel cosy and festive inside.
Every family has different traditions to create that warm Christmas feeling in their homes, such as pouring a glass of mulled wine (or two!), cracking open the tin of chocolates and playing Christmas music at all hours.
To dial up the cosiness while you follow through on your Christmas traditions in your home, follow the steps below.
Embrace your fireplace as a festive centrepiece
Many people turn all their attention to their Christmas tree as the main event of their home, but, if you’re lucky enough to own one, your fireplace can also give off the same cosy, festive feel.
One of the newest seasonal trends is to hang a wreath to the wall above a fireplace. That’s right – wreaths aren’t just for home entrances!
Once you have placed a garland on your fireplace, you can get creative with neon lighting, spelling out a Christmas message such as ‘Be Merry’ or ‘’Tis the Season’.
Recycle used wine bottles and jars as festive décor
There are many Christmas parties going on at the moment, and if you’re thinking of hosting one, ensure you put the empty bottles and jars to one side.
In order to turn the used wine bottles and jars into simple yet effective Christmas decorations, remove the label and scrub them clean. Then, drill a hole in the bottom of the bottle and thread LED lights inside. We suggest a mixture of green and blue battery-powered fairy lights.
If that’s not simple enough, you can purchase bottles with fairy lights already inside. The bottles and jars look great as centrepieces and placed along window sills, especially when the sun goes down.
Showcase special Christmas memories
Christmas is a time to treasure our loved ones, make memories with them and remember what’s important.
Take a trip down memory lane and display past Christmas memories as your decor. You can showcase photographs in personalised baubles, snow globes or in some kind of wall art with lights, like this.
There will be nothing more comforting and heart-warming than seeing family members’ smiling faces all season long.
