10 Interior Decoration Ideas for Christmas This Year

Written by Posted On Wednesday, 29 November 2017 07:21

Decking the halls with boughs of holly is always a good idea, and it’s fun to sing along to your favorite Christmas tunes while doing so—but this year, you’re looking for something different. Every single year, all you’ve done is pull out the boxes from the basement, hang up the lights on the tree and around the house, hang the same old ornaments and the same old tinsel. But this year, whether it’s because you’re hosting a party or special guests are coming to visit for the holidays, you really want your house to shine.

Luckily for you, we’ve got some great ideas for how you can decorate your house for Christmas this holiday season. So read on, choose the ideas that work for you, and get cracking (we’re not just talking about the roasted chestnuts)!

1 Make white your base color

If you’re going for a classier, simpler, sleeker look, then it’s a good idea to make white your basic color. Not only is it the perfect color for Christmas—after all, what’s whiter than snow?--but it’ll also make any other color you use pop. For example, if you choose to buy a faux Christmas tree, consider getting a white one. Then, all the ornaments you hang on its branches will dazzle even more.

2 Use a mini tree

Sure, there’s nothing as exciting as going out and buying a huge Christmas tree, especially if you’ve got kids and the whole family’s involved. But if you’ve got a smaller house, or if you want to decorate other rooms such as bedrooms with their own tree, a mini tree is definitely the way to go. Everyone can pick their own to their liking, too.

3 Draw on snowflakes

One of the cheapest, cutest, and simplest ways to decorate for Christmas is by drawing snowflakes all over the house—whether that’s on the windows or on the mirror that greets guests as they enter your house. All you need is a washable paint marker and a surface to draw on. It’s a great activity for the kids, too, if they want to get involved with decorating--after all, any messes can be easily cleaned up.

4 Make your own Christmas wreath

If you’re more of a crafty person—or your kids are—then you can combine the fun of the holidays with decorating by creating your own Christmas wreath. Depending on your style and what the interior of your house looks like, there are lots of different ways you can design them. Take a look at this list of 3 fast and festive Christmas wreaths to get inspired.

5 Use pinecones

Using what Mother Nature has already given us is another way to decorate cheaply and beautifully this holiday season. By picking out some pinecones and spray-painting them in classic silver or gold, you’ll have a decoration that you can place all over your house and hang on the tree. You can even add scents to them—to find out more, read this article.

6 Turn your pillows into presents

Another easy holiday hack is to “wrap” your pillows in red, green, or striped pillowcases—and then tie ribbons around them, which will make them look like little presents. If you add a rhinestone pin, or stick on some bows, that can look even more festive!

7 Use painted candles

The best thing about candles is that they’ve got a classic feel—nothing warms the heart as much as the flame of a candle itself--but if you get painted ones, then you can choose your own design and aesthetic. And if you’re feeling creative, you can even paint some candles yourself. Check out this DIY guide for more.

8 Use yarn

For a more homey, snuggly feel this winter holiday season, you can always use yarn to decorate. Whether it’s creating mini Christmas trees or stockings to hang above the fireplace, or making your own pom-poms, tassels, and snowflakes to hang up on the tree, this is a fun, creative way of decorating for the whole family.

9 Create your punny ornaments

Another cute, creative way to get festive this holiday season is by creating ornaments from old Scrabble game letters. After all, we’ve got Words With Friends on our smartphones now—so why not upcycle the letters and create ornaments with words such as ‘Love’ and ‘Family?’ To learn how, follow this tutorial.

10 Create snow globe terrariums

If you like the idea of creating your own little perfect, Christmas-y, snow-covered world, then look no further than creating a snow globe terrarium. By simply filling up a large jar with decorative snow, lights, and beautiful pottery, you can create your own. To get inspired, check out how to create them here.

As you can see, there are lots of great ways to decorate your house for Christmas this year that require just a little creativity, not too much money, and lots of fun.
