5 Ingenious Christmas Decoration Concepts Designers Adhere To

Now is the perfect time to unpack all of your holiday decorations and maybe add a few new things to help ring in the season. It goes without saying that there must be a blazing Christmas tree in the window or hidden away in a corner, but the festive charm should not end there.

Consider hanging luscious garlands over the mantel of the fireplace, decorating the windows with wreaths and adding festive accents in unexpected locations, such as the bathroom or foyer.

We contend that there is never too much joy when it comes to decorating the hallways. We asked interior designers to share the Christmas decoration ideas they use to decorate their own houses for the holidays in order to get some holiday inspiration.

Simple Mantel Garland

Don’t undervalue the effect of a single garland strand hanging over your mantel. According to Laura Williams of ATX Interior Design, “subtle garland across the mantle paired with the subdued artwork and log holder gives a cosy holiday feel,” making it ideal for minimalists. Candlesticks made of brass or wood also add to the cosy atmosphere.

Bright Stairway Garland

One of the simplest ways to decorate your room for the holidays is using garlands. Use this bauble-infused method as inspiration if you enjoy the idea of a pop of colour. “Use floral wire to secure ornaments to your staircase garland for added flair. We prefer to wire many decorations together in clusters before fastening them to the garland. Interior designer Shauna Glenn believes velvet ribbon gives a last touch.

Bows Galore

Adding lovely bows in whatever colour that appeals to you is another option to adorn your holiday garland. “There is nothing as simple or as festive as tying a bunch of big Christmas bows,” adds Adams. “Your home will be wrapped up like a present, and anyone old enough to know how to tie their shoes can participate in the fun.”
