How to prepare a new house for the arrival of Christmas

Christmas is the most magical time of the year. Our tips for wrapping your new home in a perfect Christmas atmosphere


The calendar has arrived in December, and the first snowfalls confirm this. Winter has officially begun, announcing the most magical time of the year, Christmas. Never as this year will we experience the holidays in our homes. So, to give us back some serenity, here are our tips to wrap your homes in Varese in a perfect Christmas atmosphere.

CHRISTMAS TRENDS 2020

Interior designs agree: two are the most significant trends for the upcoming Christmas. The first takes as its model an ever current saying such as "less is more". When it comes to furnishing, especially in the case of frills, the right size is a must. To make your homes in the center of Varese and in the province elegant and refined, you will need to know how to tastefully choose the decorations, without ever exaggerating, in quantity and variety.

The second trend follows an established trend and reminds us that everything must be sustainable. Even Christmas. Green light therefore to an eco-friendly Christmas: from decorations in recyclable materials to green and do-it-yourself creations made with waste materials. There is also space for winter plants such as holly, heather and hellebore, which will give your home an irresistible and ecological Christmas nuance.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE 2020

It is the symbol of Christmas, and it cannot be missing in your homes in Varese. We are obviously talking about the Christmas tree. High, low, gorgeous, minimal: which one to choose? Much depends on the space in which it will be the protagonist. A large living room deserves an XXL tree, smaller rooms prefer smaller sizes. The difference then lies in the decorations. The time has come to take the boxes with Christmas balls, accumulated over the years, out of the attic. But also to indulge in some shopping to give a new touch to the tree. The important thing is to give a unique and recognizable style.

In this it helps us to privilege a coherent and not very extensive chromatic palette. A Christmas tree all played on a certain nuance, in fact, will be much more refined and impactful. If at Christmas red, gold and green are colors that never fail, in 2020 we can indulge ourselves with other trendy colors. Like white, another classic of the period, absolutely trendy this year: total white is a real must, and the cozy white Scandinavian style just as well. Just combine some wood, maybe some silver tones, to get an elegant and relaxing ensemble.

Among the other colors, we point out pink, a glamorous new entry for this 2020, to be combined with gold (and again with white) for a truly glam effect. And again, space for bottle green and rust color (you will get a warm Green Ritual style) and classic Blue (pantone 19-4052), color of the year for this 2020.

THE TRADITION OF THE NATIVITY

Those who are fond of the nativity scene cannot fail to place it under the tree, on the table in the room or on a beautiful sideboard. You can rely on ancient figurines, often handed down in the family, to which you can add new figures. In this case, care must be taken to respect the style and size of those already in our possession, in order to have a balanced result.

When organizing the nativity scene, pay attention to the perspective, the setting and the lighting, which matters a lot but must be hidden as much as possible behind the architectural elements. For an alternative nativity scene, you can indulge yourself with your creativity, using recycled materials. The risk, however, is to fall into the tacky.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS 2020

In addition to the two symbols of Christmas described above, you can give space in your homes in Varese to other festive decorations. Like Christmas pillows, candles, lights and above all a festive garland, to hang on the door. A beautiful custom that tells something about us and the style of the house. The top remains a natural holly garland, which must match the colors of the Christmas tree for a chic effect.

HOW TO DECORATE THE GARDEN AT CHRISTMAS

If you own a house in Varese with a garden, you can also count on an outdoor space to be valued properly. Decorating a beautiful tree with lights and decorations remains the most classic of the classics.

With lights you can create real masterpieces. Space for luminous LEDs, to emphasize the shape of the house and draw the traditional symbols of Christmas (stars, reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes). Or to create a magical atmosphere by scattering them in the grass of the lawn or on a vertical wall. For a guaranteed wow effect, you could finally equip yourself with a projector, able to illuminate the house with a Christmas setting worthy of Hollywood.

And if, on the contrary, there is no external space, what would you say to take a trip to us? This strange year could end with a visit to one of our beautiful houses for sale in Varese with a garden.
