When it comes to Christmas decorations, having a theme in mind can really help. It will determine everything from the style of decorations to the colours. Here are some theme ideas to consider.
White Christmas
Taking the iconic song and using it as the basis for your decorations will ensure your home stands out. Pick a white wreath for the door instead of the usual green one. It can be combined with a snow Christmas tree fitted with warm white lights, white ribbons and ornaments shaped like snowflakes. Try to mix white with cream and ivory shades to create texture and add depth.
Nordic minimalist Christmas
This austere theme will contrast vividly with the typical British festive indulgence. To pull it off, you need to make as much use of natural decorations as possible. An example of this would be twig trees decorated with items such as pine cones, homemade baubles and lights. The colour scheme should focus on muted earth shades, grey and white. You can still put up a festive wreath and garland, but take a “less is more” approach to the decorations.
Vintage Christmas
If you are a nostalgic, why not recreate the festive decorations of the past? Buy either a real tree or an artificial one that looks like a green pine tree and cover it with retro baubles and ornaments. Then, hang tinsel in different colours from the ceiling and around any pictures. The colour scheme should be vintage green, red and gold.
Try one of these themes if you are stuck for a festive decoration idea this season.
