Christmas really isn’t the same without the family tradition of decorating your home with your loved ones. Christmas decorations are a must in any home to create the perfect countdown to the festive season. Prepare for a stylish Christmas this year by getting creative with indoor and outdoor Christmas decoration inspiration. Here are some inspiring Christmas decorating trends for 2014 to make a start to the holiday season.
Jar Lanterns
Glass jars are extremely popular this year and can be used for a variety of functions such as drinking glasses, lanterns or Christmas decorations. This Christmas, place clear glass lanterns along the entrance to your home to create a magical illuminate experience at your Christmas dinner. Fill them with red candles or Christmas lights for a festive feel and watch your Christmas decorations light up.
Themed Glass Baubles
These easy to create ornaments can transform your Christmas decorations into any theme. Simply fill a clear glass ornament with your chosen accessories and hang them on your Christmas tree to make over your home. If a beach theme is more your style for Christmas decorations, simply fill the ornament with a layer of sand and some beach shells to create the perfect coastal scene. A winter wonderland or frosted theme can be created by adding white sand and Christmas decorations such as trees, snowflakes or reindeers. This Christmas decoration activity is great for getting the kids into the spirit of Christmas.
Floating Candle Centrepieces
Add some elegance to your Christmas dinner with floating candles as your Christmas decoration centrepiece. Create your table setting around a beautiful holly decorated jar. Simply cut some holly and place in a small jar filled with water and a candle. This can also be done with any green Christmas trimmings or other Christmas decorations for a festive finish. Using a mix of colours, shapes, sizes and materials will add a vibrant style to your table setting.
Hanging Glass Terrariums
Glass candle holders are extremely versatile for a variety of Christmas decorations. Traditionally fill your terrariums with candles or switch it up by adding Christmas decorations or Christmas trimmings. Brighten a dull room or dark outdoor area with Christmas coloured candles or even paint the terrariums in Christmas colour schemes and patterns to create an exciting change to your home décor.
Neon Tipped Pinecones and Baubles
An easy Christmas decoration idea that will create a visual interest to your Christmas decorations is using spray paint with a neon touch. Choose a neutral coloured spray paint for your chosen Christmas decoration and use tape to cover areas you don’t want to paint. Select a neon colour to tint small areas in cute festive patterns. This is a simple way to add a bright and vibrant feel to your Christmas decorations.
