Christmas Décor for the Young and Young at Heart

If you haven’t already, now is the time to start getting excited about Christmas. As soon as you are up for it, it’s totally acceptable to get started putting up your Christmas decorations and thinking about the perfect personalised gifts for your loved ones.

One thing is for sure, the anticipation of the excitement of Christmas only builds as it approaches. This can be daunting to some but exhilarating for others. One of the many ways to bring the spirit of Christmas to your home and keep the focus on the joy and excitement of the festive season is to add an element of childish fun to your Christmas décor. Whimsical, colourful Christmas décor is perfect to stir the nostalgia and imagination of the inner child and inspire a little Christmas cheer in even the Grinchiest person.

 

Start with Christmas Cheer

When it comes to Christmastime and inspiring Christmas décor, we often refer to the young and young at heart. But there are some people that may not necessarily fall into either category, with the teenage crowd being one of those. We know that getting teenagers excited about this special holiday can sometimes feel like a chore. To give these newly independent young adults a sense of inclusion and responsibility, you could consider assigning them the secret task of Santa’s Little Helper to reignite their Christmas spirit. You’ll be surprised how becoming a part of the “secret” of Christmas can motivate even the most uninspired souls.

Colourful Fun

An integral part of fun Christmas décor is the use of bright and vivid colours. Utilise a combination of bright colours, textures, glitter, and flora to create a truly unique Christmas setting in your home. Combine whites and golds with reds and greens, gloss ornaments with matt or glittery decorations beside neutral flora. The possibilities really are endless. Be sure to offset your colourful choices against relatively plain and understated furniture pieces in neutral tones to make the joyous colours pop even more. Our Inspiration Gallery contains a selection of decorating themes to help you achieve a colourful Christmas in your home.

Magical Christmas Morning Christmas décor evokes a sense of a traditional Christmas, replete with light up ornaments and appliquéd personalised Christmas stockings to ignite the spirit of Christmas in the hearts of children and adults alike.

The Merry and Bright collection features a combination of a lively colour palette with beach-themed decorations. This Christmas décor theme certainly channels the child in all of us and is the perfect way to celebrate a summery Christmas.

Another colourful collection is Christmas Fiesta. The primary focus of this casual collection is the South American-inspired colour palette. Paired with cute llamas, bright tassels, and of course glitter, decorating your home Fiesta-style is a great way to embrace the festive season!

Celebrate a fun Christmas with the Santa’s Little Helper collection – the name alone makes us feel festive. This collection is about embracing the traditional Christmas colours with the addition of quirky ornaments. Fun, impactful and simple perfectly describe this Christmas décor

Don’t reserve the use of colour just for your decorating either. The gorgeous gifts under your tree can also feature as part of your Christmas décor. Co-ordinate your wrapping with the rest of your decorations and styling to really complete an entire Christmas wonderland full of youthful joy and fun.

Ornaments

Once you have decided on a decorating theme, it’s time to add pops of colour and plenty of nostalgia and fun to your Christmas décor by using ornaments and props in creative and unusual ways. Think light-up ornaments, musical toys and nutcrackers on your mantle for a touch of traditional nostalgia; a row of Santa’s or llamas to top your plain stocking hangers; or elf legs and butts in your tree for whimsical fun.

Tree

There’s no doubt that the Christmas tree is the focal point of any Christmas decorating. This makes it the perfect place to extend your colourful and festive Christmas décor theme. It doesn’t mean that you need to buy a whole new raft of decorations though. Add some carefully chosen new tree decorations in with the old and watch your tree transform. Create a fun look by adding cute elves into your tree, and maybe find one with its head buried in there to give visitors a giggle

And add a personal touch to any Christmas tree with personalised baubles and combine the fun with the personal with a personalised Christmas character bauble. These special keepsakes not only look great on the tree but make wonderful gifts too.

Brighten up any space through the use of festive decorations and ornaments, they are not just for the tree and the main living room. Use Christmas decorations in all areas of the house to spread the cheer far and wide. Consider placing them in the kids’ rooms, the kitchen or even in the bathroom for all your guests to see.

Remember that decorating for the young and the young at heart is all about fun, so the more fun that you have doing it, the more fun you are sure to create for others to enjoy and share with you. The only limit to your imagination is your creativity, so get the kids (even the “grown-up” ones) to pitch in with decorating and fill your house with the fun and festive spirit of Christmas.

There are a number of collections featured in our Inspiration Gallery that are dedicated to embracing the colourful and youthful, joyous Christmas spirit.
