5 Beautiful Holiday Decorating Ideas

I don’t know about you, but I am ready for 2020 to end. As we get closer to the new year, we approach the most wonderful time of the year… my birthday oh and Christmas, I guess. To try and spread a little bit of cheer I have put together 5 Beautiful Holiday Decorating Ideas to brighten up your home during christmas.

Coloured trees

Nothings brings Christmas spirit like the smell of a real Christmas tree. But, there is also nothing messier. People have opted out the traditional real tree for a fake one that can be re-used every year. In recent years, we have seen more people choose to buy trees of different colours to add a pop of colour in their living rooms. There are many new options out there. You can bring the outside in and getting inspired by House Beautiful with a white tree. This bright tree will make your ornaments pop and stand out. For something more unique you can find pink or even black trees to give your space and edgier look.

Holiday colours for table settings

When decorating a dining room or living room table for the holidays, I like my centrepieces to have height and volume. A traditional centrepiece would include pine cones and branches. While these items are festive, I prefer to give my dining table a more modern look by using bare branches and hanging accents such as snowflakes. Another newer design is cones and pyramid shapes to represent small trees. These beautiful pieces found at any home decor location combined with table runners give your dining room a pop of colour. A dark table runner can be combine with a gold 12-inch spiral tree to give your space, what I like to call, a festive edge.

Modest Interior Decoration

It is very easy to take holiday decorations a little bit too far. Adding too many bright colours in your space can make your living room look tacky and overwhelm the space. The key is to use the correct colours in your design to draw attention to specific pieces. For a darker, modern space you may want to opt for bright neutrals such as white, beige and light grey. These softer shades will give our space a warm and clean look that can emphasize your decorated Christmas tree. It can be as simple as changing the pillows on your couch.

Hot chocolate station

This design idea is one of my personal favourites because it involves chocolate! Clear a space in your kitchen and set up a hot chocolate station for the holidays. Place a kettle near a box filled with hot chocolate packets and little baggies of marshmallows. You can also use mason jars to store your favourite hot chocolate powder and tinny marshmallows. This cute idea is perfect to keep you warm on these cold winter nights. Remember, at this point calories don’t count till January 1st so make sure your clear a lot of space.

Balcony decorations

For those that live in the city, it can be hard to find the space to decorate. If you’re living in a one-bedroom apartment your space is very limited. To keep with the Christmas spirit, you can decorate your balcony using string lights wrapped around the perimeter. These lights found in any hardware store near you. can spread Christmas cheer to anyone passing by.
