Local Remodeling Contractors Offer 5 Great Christmas Decorating Ideas

1. Pick a Tree Theme

Go with the glorious, traditional Christmas tree adorned with colored lights and ornaments of all kinds, or choose a specific theme. There are endless ideas to select from, including color themes such as white and gold or silver and pink, as well as themes centering around certain ornaments, such as nutcracker, heart, animal, angel, and Santa options. Other ideas include trees garnished entirely with vintage or handmade ornaments or those dressed in colorful ribbons.

2. Choose Where You Want Your Displays to Go First

Avoid going overboard with holiday ornaments by pre-selecting where you want your displays to go. The fireplace mantle is always a classic option, while the dining room table is ideal for Christmas centerpieces. Hallway tables lend themselves to classic, lovely displays, such as a snowman collection or bowls filled with Christmas balls. You can also skip the display idea entirely and simply add decorations here and there around your home.

3. Light Up the Front

Illuminate the front of your house with assorted lights, or go the less-traditional route with fire-safe luminaries that line the walkway to your front door. Make the luminaries yourself or purchase them. Add a big wreath to your front door to complete the look.

4. Bring Christmas to the Kids’ Rooms

Bring a touch of the holidays to your children’s rooms with plush and plastic toys that will not break if they get knocked off a shelf or chair. Think plush reindeer, Santas, nutcrackers, and elves, as well as plastic versions of your favorite china and glass figurines. An overstuffed chair, for example, looks adorable with a few stuffed Christmas toys.

5. Get Crafty

If you have the time, go the DIY route this holiday by making your own wreaths, centerpieces, candle holders, ornaments, and any other decorations you want. There are plenty of DIY craft sites on the internet featuring loads of ideas, including those with step-by-step tutorials for creating garlands, folding napkins, and even making chandeliers. Make as many Christmas crafts as you want and save some for the following year.
