In the run-up and during the festivities, you should stick on the Christmas tunes, sink a few mulled wines, and get your teeth in plenty of mince pies. Then, you’ll be full of Christmas spirit.
It needs to be a cosy space though, and it will be with these fantastic festive touches…
Create a focal point with your fireplace
The main focus in your living area at the moment will be your Christmas tree, but why not also make your fireplace a centrepiece of the space.
With the hanging of a wreath above your fireplace, it will stand out and draw eyes to it – there’s no rule to say that a Christmas wreath is solely reserved for a front door!
And don’t leave the mantle bare. No, cover it with a garland and get a neon sign that says ‘Merry Xmas’ or ‘Ho-Ho-Ho’ for sitting on or near it.
Have fairy lights in glass bottles and jars
In a large family home, so many glass bottles and jars get thrown out each week. If you have any at the moment, don’t chuck them in the recycling bin.
After a good clean, you could use them as light decorations, putting fairy lights inside for displaying on shelves, window sills, tables etc. These can also be bought pre-made if you don’t have time to do this.
White or red fairy lights would be fitting and if they’re battery-powered, they won’t add to your energy bills.
Be surrounded by old festive photos
Past Christmases may well be when you experienced some of your favourite moments with friends and family members, and if any of these occasions were captured on camera, dig out the photos.
Select the snaps that bring the biggest smile to your face and have them turned into personalised baubles for the tree, snow globes and a Christmas collage that you can add to a wall or hang somewhere else.
Nothing could feel cosier than being amongst the presence of pictures of the people you love, past and present.
