Christmas Decoration Ideas and 3 Fun DIY Holiday Projects

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… you can feel it in the air by now. Home should be overloaded with festive decorations, shouldn’t it? So, let’s dress up your house with these Christmas decoration ideas.

My idea for holiday home décor consists of lanterns, candles and a table centrepiece with seasonal flowers and berries; colourful baubles for the Christmas tree, and a huge wreath outside the door. More candles, if possible, and geometric shapes for the ornaments.

My home is still a work in progress, but the Christmas tree is already in its place, and this year we went again for red and gold: the timeless colour combination.

One of my childhood memories is an “all red kitchen” with red handmade doilies, kitchenware and pillows. This a Christmas-themed kitchen with one of my favourite design brands, Derrière La Porte.
These lovely breakfast items are from the “QUE MA MONTAGNE” collection.

Another great memory is a fireplace always on, where you can roast chestnuts or simply have a lovely chat with the family.
It’s a must, but what if you can’t have it for real? Just add a shelf to an otherwise empty wall, a chalkboard panel directly below and… draw your fireplace!

There was a time when no cats were at home and we had plenty of plants in our living room. Hanged wreaths are still a nice idea for the interiors, too!

Here’s the fun part. Christmas means time spent with the family, and there’s no bigger joy than creating something unique all together. I’ve picked three Do It Yourself projects for the house and the Christmas tree.

Painted clay ornaments, origami tree decorations or a floating candle jar?

You can choose your favourite idea and give it your personal twist. I suggest recycling used wrapping papers or newspapers for the origami, because going green and giving new life to old things is always a smart choice.
