It is not necessary that you spend a lot of time decorating your home, if you invest a little time and some resources, it will be more than enough so that you can welcome Christmas with open arms. In this sense, I want to give you some of the decorative ideas for Christmas that I like the most and that I consider to be really easy to carry out at home. Although if you don't like them very much or you think you can improve them, I invite you to take them as inspiration to get new ideas, which I will be delighted to share with all of us!
Snowman-shaped cutlery
If you have guests at Christmas Eve dinner or Christmas lunch, there is a way to decorate with cutlery that no one will miss. You can use the cutlery to create a great snowman. You will need to put the normal white plate for the body and a smaller round dessert plate just above it for the head.
Then use the spoon to create one arm and the fork to create the other arm. With the knife you can put it on top of the head a little lopsided as the base of the hat, and put a square napkin right on top so that it gives the impression of having a hat. Then take another colored napkin and put it on your doll as a scarf and finally put two candies as eyes and a few others as buttons and a carrot nose ... it will be spectacular!
The candles cannot be missing
At a Christmas Eve dinner or a Christmas meal, you cannot miss the candles. Candles are ideal to create an intimate atmosphere and to make it cozy and warm. You can decorate with candles in the living room, on the table where you can enjoy lunch or dinner with your loved ones, and you can even put them on shelves to create a much more magical atmosphere. But of course, if you have children or pets at home, it is better that you dispense with candles with wick and that create fire and that opt for candles that have a mechanism with LED lights They can also create a cozy environment without taking any risks.
Paper decoration
If you think that the decorative elements sold in stores is too expensive for your pocket or you simply refuse to spend so much money on decoration, you can create it yourself with your own hands. For example, you can create different figures with newspaper to put on the Christmas tree or in other rooms of your home. For example, you can cut out and varnish or laminate silhouettes of pigeons, Christmas balls, stars, colored Christmas trees, birds, etc. to get a nice effect.You can also paint the decoration on paper however you like.
Garlands of lights or colors
Another idea is to decorate with colored garlands also made of paper by yourself. But personally, I must confess that although there are colored and even handmade garlands that can be tremendously sophisticated and attractive, I prefer for the Christmas time, the garlands that are made of colored lights. I think they are ideal for these dates and that they are very attractive.
But if the garlands have a neutral design that do not have Christmas motifs but have a certain festive air, it is a good idea not to save them for the following year, because you can use them to decorate your home with them throughout the year. It is a form of keep the creative and joyful spirit in your home without having to wait for specific dates.
In red and green or more colors
The classic decoration in many homes for Christmas is usually created with the colors red and green since they are the characteristic tones for these dates. You can use fruit, nuts, ribbons, the Christmas tree ... any decorative element with these two colors will be a good idea.
Although red and green are the most traditional colors For Christmas decoration, they are no longer used exclusively in homes and many people prefer to opt for other, more modern colors. Personally I prefer any combination that fits with white, like a white, blue and gray Christmas tree… it is beautiful! But this will depend on your personal tastes and your color preferences in the decoration of your home.
Christmas wreaths
An easy idea to show the world that Christmas is celebrated in your home is by placing a wonderful Christmas wreath on the door. You can buy it with flowers, although currently you can find many of many styles such as with Christmas balls. You can also do it yourself, and it is that on YouTube you will find many video tutorials to create a beautiful, original and cheap Christmas wreath.
These are some last minute ideas so that you can decorate your house for this Christmas, and it is worth enjoying the home with beautiful decorations and it is that in it resides the magic of Christmas, in being able to enter homes and breathe the festive atmosphere that so many of us like to feel together with the people we love.
