Christmas is a special time for everyone, and it’s an event that brings people together. It’s a time when families reunite after spending months apart, and it’s an occasion to celebrate togetherness and love. Especially in Dubai, where tourism is at its peak during holidays and everyone wishes to decorate their place easily.
Decorating your home for Christmas can be an exciting experience for both adults and children alike. You can start by picking out Christmas tree decorations from your craft store. Then, you can start putting them up around your home to create a beautiful Christmas atmosphere! Here are some tips on how to transform your home for Christmas.
Decorate with Lights and Lanterns
If you have a conservatory or glass-fronted room, use fairy lights to decorate it! You can hang them from the ceiling or attach them to the walls for a more subtle look (use double-sided tape). You can use battery-powered lights if you don’t have a plug socket nearby. Lanterns make great decorations too – they can be hung from branches or placed around your garden as part of your outdoor display.
Don’t Skimp on the Basics
Make sure you have enough lights, garlands, and holiday decorations to fill every space in your home. A few well-placed decorations can create a beautiful ambiance in any room.
Cozy Fabrics and Textures
Warm fabrics and textures like velvet, silk, and leather make any home feel more festive. You can use them on pillows or blankets or incorporate them into curtains or window treatments.
Color Theme
This is a time of year when you can get carried away with color. Add splashes of red and green to your kitchen or dining room. Add red accents throughout your house — in accessories as well as furniture — to create a feeling of warmth and festiveness. Some people go all out with Christmas lights outside their homes; others prefer to keep it simple with one strand of twinkling lights around the front door.
Add Stockings
A fireplace is a perfect spot for holiday décor. Choose stockings that match your decorating scheme, then fill them with candy canes or other treats for guests to enjoy during the holidays. Add stockings for children so they feel included in the festivities too!
Greenery at Its Best
Greenery adds color, texture, and fragrance to the home. Moreover, it brings nature into your living room or bedroom. In addition, greenery and natural elements are easy to maintain as they don’t require much effort to look beautiful throughout the year. If you are in Dubai, head to Creative Minds to choose your perfect Christmas tree and decorations.
