Struggling to find ideas on how to decorate your living room before your upcoming (socially distanced and fully vaccinated) Christmas gathering? Here are some ways you can wow your guests.
1. Christmas lights
Christmas is all about being happy and bright, so you should definitely set the mood with lots of lights in your living room.
Don’t limit them to just your tree – string them on surfaces such as windows and shelves, or let them hang safely and prettily from your ceiling.
For a warm and luxurious feel, switch off the main lighting in your room and add to the warm atmosphere by lighting candles.
2. Miniatures
Miniatures are perfect for creating beautiful Christmas scenes. Show off your creativity by using tiny houses, Santa Claus and Christmas-caroller figurines, toy animals, fairy lights, giant snowflakes, cotton snow, and other decorations for a stunning display.
Wrap a few small boxes to create miniature gifts, or try making these beautiful mini “gift boxes”:
3. Christmas tree
The Christmas tree itself should never be skipped. Natural or synthetic, traditional green or in other non-conventional colours – go for any theme and can be as creative as you like.
Add some wrapped gifts underneath and your kids will definitely love it!
4. Cinnamon candles
For a pinch of romance, cinnamon candles are perfect. These can be bought at certain stores where Christmas items are sold; otherwise, why not try making them yourself?
5. Cookies and gingerbread houses
Nothing says Christmas like a gingerbread house beautifully decorated with icing. Set up a display with one of these lovely edible houses, plus an arrangement of treats and cookies in the shape of Santa, reindeer or candy canes, for a lovely tabletop presentation your guests can admire and snack off of.
Everyone at the party will definitely be mesmerised by your decorating game!
