Decors, decorations and Christmas furniture ideas

At Christmas, homes change their face for the special occasion. Lights and candles, accessories and decorations, fabrics and furnishings can transform the home into a magical environment.

Christmas is the time of year when the home is dressed up for the occasion. Christmas decorations and decors come into play to give home interiors the right look to welcome one of the most joyful and characteristic times of the year. Decorating the home for Christmas is almost a ritual that, as early as November, attracts the whole family. Christmas decorations extend like a fil rouge through every space in the home to amplify the joy of a particularly eagerly awaited occasion.

Christmas decorations

Alongside the traditional and unfailing Christmas tree and crib, there are a range of decorations and ornaments that create the typical festive and cosy Christmas atmosphere in the home. In order to decorate the Christmas home with elegance, a series of small tricks must be followed so as not to risk lapsing into bad taste.

Choose a specific theme

It is possible to choose monochrome Christmas decorations, focusing on traditional colours such as red, gold, white, silver, depending on personal taste and the furnishing style of the house. Or, alternatively, you can choose a mood that combines several colours. What is important however is to select a specific theme and move in that direction.

Decorate the whole house or just a limited space in the home?

You can decorate the whole house and ensure the Christmas atmosphere in every room, or you can limit it to the living area. Whichever you choose, it is impossible to go wrong. Among the Christmas decorations and characteristic elements of this festivity, typical plants such as poinsettias should not be missing, to be placed in the entrance area or in the living room, on shelves, wall shelves or coffee tables.

Candles to create the right atmosphere

Candles are certainly one of the most typical Christmas decorations: perfect in every room of the house, they can create the right atmosphere for romantic, relaxing or social Christmas evenings. From traditional white or red cylindrical candles set in elegant holders such as the Driade Leonardo Candelabrum with red, amber and green decorations, to candles made in the most varied shapes: these become the stars of the Christmas table, shelves, fireplaces and various furnishings.

Christmas decorations: white or red?

The traditional colours of Christmas are white and red: they are used for decorations, table settings and the fabrics of Christmas home furnishings. Generally, the colour white is used to decorate the modern Christmas home, shabby chic, Nordic or contemporary style. Associated with bright colours such as gold or silver, white evokes elegance and sophistication, recalling the purity of snow. More modern environments can accommodate design complements in white, unique and original like the Kloris Fizz Bottle Holder that recalls the shape of a Christmas tree or like the Astra Slide Star – Seating Module, a comfortable seat that, due to its star shape, is perfect for a Christmas decor.

Red, while being a Christmas home, should be used sparingly and paying attention to combinations to avoid tacky environments. Red is perfect if the house has a traditional furnishing style, but it also looks good on the modern side if combined with more neutral colours. The red Bonaldo Magazine Bag Magazine Holder, for example, fits perfectly into both modern and traditional Christmas decor.

Christmas decorations in the bedroom area

A touch of Christmas atmosphere can also be brought to the bedroom and children’s rooms. For the bedroom, it is possible to focus more on fabrics than on decorations, choosing white and red bed linen or selecting sheets, bedspreads or duvet covers with distinctly Christmas graphics and patterns.

In children’s bedrooms, in addition to selecting Christmas bed linen, pillows and duvet covers with Christmas decorations, you can make room for little trees, angels and other decorations to seal the Christmas mood.
