As Christmas approaches, the tree is not the only decoration you can look forward to having in your home this festive season. The beauty of Christmas decorations doesn’t just have to be relegated to the Christmas tree in the living room. There are simple ways to add Christmas decor and ambiance to the other rooms in your home to really bask in the season. Just follow our guide and see the possibilities! 

  • The Bedroom 
  • The bedroom is a great place to experiment with Christmas themed decor. Invoke cosiness and festivity with these easy styling and decoration tips: 

    You can’t go wrong with Christmas bedding. Red plaid really gives cosy Christmas vibes but if you want to go for a more subtle approach, ivory bedding is the way to go. You can add Christmas themed accent pillows for a pop of colour! 

    String some fairy lights across your walls. White ones are particularly reminiscent of the season.

    Add some greenery, whether it’s a wreath, garland, or pot plant. An easy and fun DIY activity is to gather small pine or holly branches from your backyard and fan them out. Add a bundle of artificial berries over the top of the leaves for a festive vignette atop your bedside table.

    Engage your sense of scent with flavoured candles. Whether it’s a refined nutmeg, or a sweet vanilla, you’ll experience the scent of a cosy Christmas. You may even like to do a complementary combination of candles! 

  • The Dining Room 
  • The dining room is the heart of conversation and quality time in the home. Here is the perfect place to bring forward the Christmas spirit. 

    Add cushions to the back of each dining seat in the same Christmas colour, such as red, green or cream. You may like to decorate your chairs even more by tying Christmas ornaments, such as a bauble to the back of each chair.

    Display cabinets: You may have a glass display cabinet in your dining room. Rearrange the glassware to bring your favourite, more festive pieces to the foreground. You may like to string fairy lights across the shelves or add battery operated tea lights into some of the glasses and bowls on display.

    The walls of your dining room can invoke Christmas cheer by the addition of festive wall art. It doesn’t even necessarily have to be Christmas themed. The art can just adhere to the Christmas colour palette you have in your dining room to make a big difference! 

    The dining table centrepiece: The centre of the dining table is where you can really round up the Christmas spirit in the room. Upgrade your candlelights by placing them inside Christmas candle holders, which are typically silver or gold. A garland woven in between the candles is a great way to include greenery that is common amongst Christmas table centrepieces. Don’t forget to add pinecones, artificial berries, and even your actual fruits atop it to complete the look!

  • The Bathroom 
  • Yes, even the bathroom can embrace the Christmas spirit! Overdoing it can make your bathroom look a bit tacky, so here are some subtle yet effective ideas to transform your bathroom: 

    Of course, you always want the bathroom to smell pleasant, and Christmas can allow you to experiment with more festive scents. Whether it’s the sweet sophistication of cinnamon, the freshness of mint, or the natural scent of pine leaves, diffusers and incense sticks make great additions to the bathroom.

    Drape a faux garland across the top and sides of your bathroom mirror.

    A wreath won’t look out of place on a hook at the front or back of your bathroom door.

    A thin vase with a few sprigs of holly can go a long way in adding Christmas vibes to the side of your bathtub or near your sink.

  • The Foyer 
  • Christmas spirit can begin as soon as you enter the home. Here is how you can decorate your foyer based on your existing arrangement: 

    If you have a console table, a Christmas tabletop tree or multiple will look wonderful atop it. You might like to make a simple DIY arrangement on the tabletop by getting a wicker basket and placing baubles inside it with pine leaves and holly sticking out. This will evoke both the rustic and metallic Christmas aesthetics. 

    If you have seating in your foyer, whether a singular chair or a bench, adding a festive pillow and a folded macrame throw for a more subtle approach can bring an even more cosier arrangement.

    You might just have wall art or a mirror hanging in your foyer, which still allows you to be creative with the area. For example, you can change your arrangement. Perhaps you’d like to replace your existing decor with festive or Christmas-themed wall art. Alternatively, if you’d rather keep your wall fixture, hanging a string of baubles or a garland across the edges will add a festive flair instantly!
