Exterior Elegance - Christmas House Decorations

You know what we love the most about Christmas house decorations? The stars, lights, trees and wreath that people put on their doors, balconies and porches. They give it a whole fairytale vibe.

1. Though Christmas has no strict color scheme, red and green tend to get the job done when it comes to spreading holiday cheer.
2. Look for ways to maximize what you already have. It isn't necessary to buy all-new decor. You can reuse elements—like ribbons, ornaments, bells, or potted plants—year after year to mingle with your new seasonal finds.
3. Pinecones stand in for flowers as the volume makers in this bouquet. If you are lucky enough to find a few still on the branches, snag them from your yard. Otherwise, you can buy them at your local crafts store.
4. Dusty miller greenery adds a touch of softness to the Christmas room decor, and the magnolia leaves, pine, and a sprig of holly berries round out the arrangement.
5. Think beyond vases. Let pretty vessels, like julep cups, vintage glassware, or family heirloom goblets show off your Christmas house decorations.
6. Make your own tree top by bundling together a group of curly silver sticks from your local craft store, and wire the creation to the top of your tree. 
7. Decorate the rest of your tree with bright, equally glitzy colors like hot pink and gold. 
8. Let ribbons, not cut flowers, be your big Christmas splurge. They're reusable, unfussy, and an easy way to add color to greenery in passthrough spaces like the entry.
9. Bring Christmas decor ideas to every corner of your home. Look for out-of-the-way display areas, such as the top of a chest, to add sparkle and shine.

Cozy Comfort - Xmas Home Decor

   

Christmas is all about the cozy vibes and your Xmas decoration ideas should definitely reflect that. Here are a few cozy and comfy Christmas day decoration ideas you can conduct:

3. Make sure there are plenty of soft blankets and throw pillows around.
4. Light candles and turn on twinkle lights any time of the day.
5. Try the winter wonderland theme for your tree by decorating it in white.

7. Pick a bold, dominant color and use it wisely
