6 Dazzling door decorations to make Santa’s entry merry and bright

Christmas themes for your front door #1: Flamboyant welcome

Your Christmas decor project should start right from your entrance. For a standout look, amp up the regular garlands with baubles, Xmas lights and a wreath with similar colours. If you are feeling more festive or just have more space to fill up with decoration, we suggest you get your hands on some lanterns or even a reindeer on the floor.

Christmas themes for your front door #2: A doorway carol

Yeah, we get it… Santa doesn’t come through the front door, but what if he does? He needs a glowing Christmas tree and some vintage lanterns to guide him to the door. 

Christmas door decorations #3: Fifty shades of festive

Christmas holidays are not just reds and whites because Santa comes with silvers too. Add some festive cheer to your home with a silver wreath decorated with pine cones, berries and Christmas ornaments.

Christmas door decorations #4: A half wreath welcome

Simply switch out the decorations to create a festive Christmas look, a welcoming spring atmosphere, or a spooky vibe for Halloween. As shown in the images above, the wreaths could be rope work or just twigs strung together.

Christmas door decorations #5: Foyersome wreaths

Using wreaths on the inside of the door looking into the foyer can be a charming and festive Christmas decoration idea! Add a large, velvet bow in a festive colour like red or burgundy to make it even more stunning.

Christmas door decorations #6: Sombre foyers

Unlike wreaths on the outside of your door, which are often exposed to the elements, a wreath on the inside of your door can be enjoyed year-round. You can choose seasonal flowers, such as lilies for spring or poinsettias for winter, or go for artificial flowers that you can use year-round. 

Let your living rooms sleigh with these awesome themes

Christmas themes for your living room #1: Make your living room as Christmassy as possible

This one’s for all DIY lovers! Make your own Christmas tree with wooden logs by adding Xmas lights, streamers, little hangings and other decorations you like. Of course, no Christmas tree is complete without gifts and lanterns. Go that extra mile by giving a fresh coat of paint to the walls.

Christmas themes for your living room #2: Tree-t your living room

Are your interiors just clean lines and simple silhouettes? Then your Christmas tree can easily be the focal point of the room. Add simple lighting like fairy lights only on the tree.

Christmas themes for your living room #3: Side table edition

Not in the mood for full-blown Christmas decorations? Deck up that side table with a pre-lit mini tree or DIY it with all the bells and whistles (literally, add some jingles!), and make it uniquely yours with ornaments, Xmas lights and tinsel. Throw in some pillar candles of all shapes and styles—think metallic, snowy, or even pinecone-covered—for that cosy, ‘let’s snuggle by the fire’ vibe.

Christmas themes for your living room #4: Nuts, bolts and baubles

We can’t just stop gushing over this living room! The brick wall shines like a star because of the minimal decorations, using a simple tree with clear Xmas lights, white and gold ornaments, and metallic accents.

Christmas themes for your living room #5: Razzling reds

A red and white room like this one is a Christmas dream come true. Opt for a traditional green Christmas tree or go for an unconventional white tree decorated with red ornaments for the wall and for the tree to stand out.

Christmas themes for your living room #6: Off-white Christmas is here!

Choose a soft off-white for your living room walls – it’s perfect for showcasing green and red Christmas decorations, giving your space a festive vibe. Pair it with light-coloured floors like a carpet or tiles, and add a holiday-themed rug with red and green touches for a cosy and lively atmosphere.

6 Deliciously decorated Christmas tables just for you

Christmas table decorations #1: Turn your dining room into Tinseltown

It can’t get more festive than this dining room right here! Host those Christmas lunches with your gang at home and show them your decoration skills by draping tinsel garlands on the periphery of your ceiling with ribbons. We love the effect that a runner adds to any table. And Christmas definitely calls for buffalo checks and some pine cones along with dry flower decorations.

Christmas table decorations #2: A wooden Christmas?

Christmas is simple; all you need is candles, ferns and a couple of Xmas lights. Take cues from this simple dining table setting that has a lighting fixture made of just a twig and hanging bulbs (psst: you can DIY this).

Christmas table decorations #3: An 80s Christmas

Get into the 80s spirit with a lively tablecloth in red and green plaid or funky neon shades like pink and teal. Match your decorations to your wallpaper’s patterns and colours; if it’s rocking black and white stripes, go for polka-dotted Christmas ornaments and neon squiggle garlands.

Christmas table decorations #4: Flicker and feast

A simple candelabra is enough to make your dining room feel all Christmassy but if you want a modern twist to it, go for the one with cascading branches or a geometric design. Decorate it with evergreen garlands and golden pinecones for a natural and festive feel. Also, add a fresh half wreath to your kitchen cabinet doors for extra holiday charm.

Christmas decor for your dining room #5: Little red delights

A rustic exposed brick kitchen is the perfect canvas for a bold and festive red Christmas decor theme! Dress up your dining table with red candles, flowers, and just about any red decor and you are Christmas-ready!

Christmas decor for your dining room #6: Rustic pops of red

Check out how awesome this rustic dining table looks, especially with those cool red planters. Adding a touch of red is a great idea to balance out the earthy vibes of green and wood tones. It’s like bringing a pop of freshness to your space!
