7 Unique and mesmerising Christmas decor ideas to try this season

Short on time and missing the Christmas spirit at home? From the proper way to decorate your tree to simple potpourri recipes and do-it-yourself décor tricks, here are 7 unique Christmas decor ideas to make your home the talk of the town.

Deck The Halls

Color-blocking and fluffing your upholstery can instantly add Christmas cheer to your home. Macramé, buffalo checks, and plaid are my go-to’s. Change your cushion covers, drape your chairs in plaid, and bring out a few knitted throws – all of these are quick fixes.

Choose The Right Tree

While there are 11 different types of Christmas trees, we only get to show off the lovely araucaria in India. However, if you intend to buy a fake variety, make sure it has more than 1,000 tips so your tree looks full.

Mini Trees

Do you live in a cramped apartment? Purchase miniature trees and place them throughout your home. They look great on your end table, on top of your cupboard, or even in your entryway! I like to wrap burlap around the pots and tie a ribbon around them!

Go Monochromatic

Here’s a foolproof method for decorating your tree like a pro: begin with one type and colour of ornament, distribute it evenly around the tree, and then begin with the next color. This will make your tree look more cohesive.

Size Matters

Add larger ornaments to the bottom branches of the tree and reduce the size as you go up — you want to keep that classic conical shape.

Pomander Centerpieces

Pomanders are perforated containers that contain aromatic herbs and spices. But in this case, it’s a clove-studded orange that’s typically used as a home fragrance around the holidays. They also look great as table centerpieces. Simply place a few cloves in an orange (you can make it into a masterpiece or keep it rustic and simple) and enjoy the fragrance.

Holiday Mantle

Do you lack a fireplace? No need to worry, you have shelves! One of the simpler Christmas decor ideas is to add some winter greenery to your shelves, along with a few Christmas ornaments to add some holiday cheer.
