What Holiday Decorating Style Is Right For Your Home?
Christmas is just around the corner, but if you’re a little late to the decorating party, don’t panic! There’s still time to spread that holiday cheer throughout your home. Because, let’s face it, there’s nothing like a cozy decorated abode, a roaring fire (even if it’s streamed digitally), and a warm cup of cocoa as we countdown the days until Christmas.
But just like all things interior design, holiday décor comes in many forms. So we’ve assembled some styles for you with some visual inspiration so you can decide what look speaks to your preferences and the essence of your home.
Traditional Christmas
If you’re a sucker for timeless class and tradition, why not stick with what’s tried and true? The traditional Christmas style channels modern Christmas’s Victorian origins and highlights the classic red and green color palette. While splashes of bright red can be great accents, darker toned reds and greens will give your home a more refined look.
Vintage Christmas
This esthetic is for the playful at heart and lovers of a bygone time. Epitomized by tinsel, oversized tree lights, and those signature shiny indent ornaments, this style calls for brighter reds and greens, with accents of silver and gold. Incorporate 1950s toys and trinkets for an undeniable vintage vibe.
Rustic Christmas
Whether you’re a proponent of the modern farmhouse style, an industrial chic esthetic, or a country living home design, you’ll find what you need in Christmas décor with the Rustic Christmas option. To achieve this look, go as natural in your decoration choices as possible (opt for a real tree as opposed to artificial, living garland as opposed to fake, ornaments made of natural materials like wood, wool, and metal, as opposed to plastic or anything with too much shine).
Scandinavian Christmas
Similar to the Rustic Christmas esthetic, Scandinavian design is all about natural materials. The core difference between the two is that Scandinavian also embraces minimalism. Less is more with this Christmas décor option. Allow the tree itself to be appreciated more by limiting the amount of decorations you adorn it with, and give attention and appreciation to each of your Christmas home décor items by limiting the number you put on display.
Glam Christmas
This look is all about the shine. Silver and gold are the stars of this design’s color palette. Ornaments and décor items that reflect light (glass, shiny metals, sparkles, etc.) give this style a bright, energetic appearance. It’s all glitz and glam in this home that’s ready to easily transition into New Year’s Eve celebrations after the Christmas feast.
Winter Wonderland Christmas
Bring winter indoors without the chill with this classy design esthetic that injects a magical feel into your holidays. To achieve this sophisticated look, use white as your base color with pastels and other light hues as accents. Avoid darker tones to keep your room feeling bright and frosty.
Whimsical Christmas
Channel Dr. Seuss and cater to your inner child’s fantasies with this fun and whimsical décor style. Don’t be afraid of brighter colors and curvy lines with this look. When you’re selecting ornaments, dinnerware, and accent pieces, just think what would be present at the North Pole or in Whoville on Christmas Eve. Have fun with it.
Whatever style you’re filling your home with this year, have a happy and safe holiday season. Sending merriment and cheer from CBM Mart, your go-to team for all your home design needs.
