Every year, at the end of November, it's the same ritual: the theme of the holidays invades stores and boutiques, and people start imagining their Christmas decorations. So, rather than reusing the same dusty decorations that we've been keeping for 20 years in old chests, why not take the time this year to do something more to your liking? We decipher for you the decoration trends for this Christmas 2019!
Even if the ever-present green and red are never out of fashion during the holidays, there are nuances in fashion from one year to the next. This year, it seems that the colours white, silver and pastel are in order, which we will gladly combine with a plant green. Gold is also an essential element, which fits perfectly into Christmas decorations - it gives a festive atmosphere to its environment. The key is to distribute the tones evenly over the rooms, to create harmony in your decoration.
It will have been clear to everyone that sustainable development and responsible purchasing are becoming more and more important in our ways of consuming. So for Christmas, no more buying plastic balls and synthetic garlands at all. Now it is time for natural and eco-responsible materials, such as wood and plants. And rather than skimming shopping malls, why not take a walk in the forest? Pine cones, logs and other fir branches will be brought back to decorate the table, the walls or the Christmas tree. In addition to being totally ecological, this responsible approach will also be very beneficial for your wallet.
It seems that people are getting tired of always buying the same mass-produced items all over the world. Indeed, the latest trend is to design your own Christmas decoration. With a little imagination, old fabrics can be transformed into beautiful gift wipes in a flash. Why not also start designing a Do It Yourself calendar, which can be customized at will? The important thing is to let your creativity speak for itself, while making the most of what you already have available.
Christmas Eve is a holiday meal for all families. As for colours, why not opt for red plates, on a table of a pretty wood with a forest atmosphere? In the centre, a floral decoration will be preferred, which can be nicely decorated with pine cones and small white flowers. For perfectionists, we can imagine napkin rings or Do It yourself place mats, which will be the icing on the cake of your table decoration. Don't forget also some white or red candles, to reinforce the festive atmosphere among your guests.
Legend has it that Santa Claus would come to visit us every year from the North Pole. In fact, it is possible to visit his house in Rovaniemi, in northern Finland. Thus, for those who wish to add a touch of originality to their Christmas decoration, it is possible to adopt white and blue tones, to give a "North Pole" atmosphere to an interior - references to snow and ice. This can be complemented by increasingly popular "Scandinavian" decorative elements based on white shades, fake snow and refined design. A balance to be found, for a totally Zen atmosphere in your home during the holidays.
As is often the case in decoration, building bridges between the old and the new is the best way to get the most out of an interior. Christmas decoration is no exception to the rule, as it will gladly integrate this old furniture with the red and green tones of our ancestors. Coupled with more sober modern tones, these objects from the past will express the best of their potential, highlighted among designer and resolutely modern furniture.
When it comes to Christmas decorating, the details often make the difference. For example, taking care of wall decorations is an element that can easily be overlooked. However, pretty wooden frames or beautiful Do It Yourself objects can bring an unexpected touch of joy. Similarly, if you have an exterior, installing garland type lights on your facade or garden will certainly bring warmth to your home, and will undoubtedly delight children and passers-by. Finally, if you have a fireplace at home, what could be more natural than to decorate it with care, to honour Santa's tradition? Candles, garlands and large red socks will be welcome, to ignite children's imaginations in the evening of December 24th.
