1. Accentuate Your Entrance
Accentuating your entryway with holiday decorations can make your home look more inviting and welcoming, creating a good impression on your guests during Christmas. Adorn your home’s front door with an attractive ribboned wreath, seasonal shrubs, and additional foliage. You may also incorporate a lush garland along the railing. Add twinkling string lights to the greenery for a more sophisticated look. This will also create a bright and inviting glow to your entrance.
Holiday faux plants, florals, and tiny evergreens adorned with artificial snow throughout your entryway can add a sense of festivity and winter cheer. It will also make your home’s entrance feel more welcoming and set the tone for a relaxing holiday celebration.
2. Decorate Windows
Another excellent way to add merriment to your home this festive season is incorporating window decorations. Incorporating the right window holiday decorations will also offer a touch of festive cheer for passers-by. Adorn your windows with a garland of lush greenery or unique silver tinsel to add a pop of color and make a statement inside and outside your home. Simple wreaths suspended from ribbons in varying lengths can also add festive cheer to your home.
Instead of wreaths, drape strands of faux or real garlands over your windows to bring the outside inside. Alternatively, drape two garlands down each side of your windows and overlap them slightly at the top. If you don’t want to obstruct your view, suspend two wreaths of different sizes between the window frames. Other outstanding holiday window decorating ideas include using snowflake stencils and Christmas tree stickers to bring festive cheer.
3. Decorate the Mantel
You can also create a welcoming and festive ambiance in your home by decorating your mantel. Adorn your mantel with silver lean velvet or silk stockings or cream linen and cotton stockings for a more relaxed style. Mix and match metallic accents such as candle holders and silver ribbons with luxe neutrals like cream and ivory for a more sophisticated design and to make the space brighter. You can also add decorative elements in matte greens and reds to complement the metallic accents and add glam to your mantles. Complete your mantle’s look by adding an ivory or cream area rug to anchor the space.
