Christmas is the perfect time to transform your home with festive decorations. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of sparkle with lights or create a cosy atmosphere with greenery and vibrant colours, these easy Christmas decoration tips will bring the holiday spirit into your space.

Easy Makeover Tips for Christmas Decoration

• For lighting up a small room, use candle stands of different heights and glittering glass votives. You can also hang LED string lights on the mirrors and windows.
• Tall tapering candles, pillar candles or floating candles, are great for adding extra lighting and ambience. For fragrance during Christmas, opt for cinnamon and vanilla aromatic candles.
• Dress up the main door with a huge star-shaped lantern and a fresh green wreath. Near the door, keep red poinsettia plants.
• To ensure continuity in the décor theme, use a single colour for the ribbons, cushions, candles, fairy lights and even wrappers for the gifts.
• Let the tablecloth, crockery and fresh flowers set the tone for the festive season. Avoid prints and patterns on a crowded table.
• Dress up the bed with rich vibrant hues and match the bed covers with the floor rug and doormats.
• Choose a small basket or serving tray and dress it up with colourful cloth, a star, green foliage and tiny fairy lights. Get a small baby Jesus idol, shepherd and animal figures, etc. and arrange them on the basket or tray.

De-Clutter for the Festive Season

The first step is to de-clutter and clean the home of all unwanted and dated items, for a fresh new look. Push all the furniture towards the walls, to create more space for sitting and place a few floor cushions to accommodate guests.

Use existing space wisely. Empty a bookshelf and arrange wreaths, bells, pine cones, as well as a snowman, angel and Santa Claus figurines on it. 

Christmas-Themed Wall Décor

The Christmas decoration theme can also be extended to the walls of the house. Cover the wall with green or red cloth or paper and paste some fluffy soft cotton, Santa Claus images, stars, angels, etc., on it.

You can also use photos of the season to create a photo booth backdrop. Get a few stockings, paint your children’s names and hang them on the walls. One can also decorate the walls and windows with garlands and bright satin ribbons.

Accessories with the Colours of the Christmas Season

Homeowners can combine green foliage with seasonal sparkle, for natural Christmas decorations. In addition to the Christmas tree, one can add other potted plants to the house, to give it a fresh look.

When one lives in bustling cities and high-rise buildings, there is always a desire for a garden. You can surround yourself with the colours of a garden, using décor accessories and keep everything else pristine white. Pick from various green tones and apply them boldly in the room, to give a natural look.

For a Christmas theme, opt for soft furnishing or cushions in red, green and white colours, with prints of Santa Claus or reindeer. You can also dress up the sofa with red and green throws.

Add a Christmas Sparkle to Your Space

The glow of lights can add a warm ambience to a home. Light can be an eye-catching piece, like art, in any room. Take a few wine glasses, fill them with water, add red colour place floating candles and arrange them in the living room. You can also experiment with paints that offer a glitter finish, to brighten up the space. 

For instance, add stripes of glitter finish on the wall in contrasting colours, such as gold and white. Do not restrict yourself to painting just the wall. Add hints of glitter finish paint on accessories and on the Christmas tree too.

Conclusion

With a little creativity and attention to detail, you can effortlessly bring the magic of Christmas into your home. From lighting to unique decor accents, make this holiday season extra special with the perfect Christmas decorations.

Shifting into a new home is both exciting and stressful. But after going through the tough and challenging home buying process, followed by packing your belongings, it is time now to step into a new home where you will make a new beginning.

Also, a housewarming celebration is amongst the first few things we plan as we enter into our new space. But even before that, there are certain things that requires the immediate attention of the owner.

Trimuty Builders, in addition to building your dream home, are here to make the transformation easy for new owners. Here is a list few things that if taken care of will make your first few days stress-free & smooth:

Inspect Your Belongings

Check all major appliances. It is possible that some electronic items like 

• Dishwashers
• Stove
• Dryer or washer, 

could have been damaged during the shifting process. A thorough check is advisable to ensure they all items are working fine. It is also advisable to prepare an inventory list to track that all things have been transported safely.

Get The House Deep-Cleaned

In most cases,  properties/flats are given a professional clean before the previous owners move out. But, at times apartments remain vacant for an extended time period and unpacking also creates garbage. 

Hire professionals who specialise in deep cleaning. Also, give your home complete pest control before shifting especially in areas prone to their infestation.

Childproof Your New Home

Does the family have little ones? It then becomes important to childproof the home in order to ensure their safety and security. This includes identifying household hazards and respective subsequent effective elimination.

Make The Beds

For a good night’s sleep after a tiring day, it is mandatory to have enough bedding for everyone. Take a restful sleep to rejuvenate yourself and prepare yourself for the next day for further unpacking and putting things in place.

Get Your Locks Changed

It is important to get the locks changed shortly after moving. One could opt for automated locks that ensure 24×7 security.

Get An Emergency Kit

As a part of the safety for all,  get an emergency kit that includes:

• First-aid
• Smoke alarm
• Fire extinguisher. 

Identify emergency exits and formulate an escape plan out of the house.

Moving into a new home is an exciting milestone. By following these simple steps—inspecting your belongings, cleaning, childproofing, and ensuring safety—you can make the transition smoother and more enjoyable.
