How To Get The Living Room Ready For Christmas
Transforming your living room into a festive haven for Christmas begins with choosing a cohesive theme and colour palette. Whether you prefer traditional red and green, elegant gold and silver or a modern touch with whites and blues, your colour choices will set the tone throughout the home.
Start With Your Centrepiece - The Christmas Tree
Start with the centrepiece of your living room: the Christmas tree. There are plenty of options such as pre-lit Christmas trees like the Aspen Pop Up Pre Lit Christmas Tree or ones with frosted tips like the Woodland Frost 180cm Christmas Tree for a more 'winter wonderland' vibe. Once you have chosen, position it in a prominent spot and adorn it with baubles, garlands and ornaments, such as cute bells, angels and snowflakes or cute tree decorations that reflect your chosen theme.
Don't forget a Christmas tree topper that ties everything together. Around the tree, consider placing beautifully wrapped presents and a cosy tree skirt to complete the look or some cute figurines like the Soren Large Traditional Santa.
Decorate Walls and Mantels
For the living room walls and mantel (if your home has one), hang garlands, stockings and wreaths, like the Soren MDF Village Wreath, that complement your chosen decor. Consider placing festive cushions and throws on your couch to add warmth and comfort. Add a touch of Christmas magic by arranging figurines or a nativity scene on your coffee table or shelves.
Get the Right Lighting and Ambience
Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood. Soft, warm white lights draped around the Christmas tree, along windows and across the mantel create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Accent your lighting with candles or lanterns in complementary colours for a soft, ambient glow. The result is a living room that feels warm, festive and ready to celebrate the joy of Christmas!
How To Get The Bedroom Ready For Christmas
Start by dressing your bed with fresh bedding and plush throws that align with your colour scheme. Add decorative cushions with festive patterns or textures for an extra layer of comfort and style. Above the bed, consider hanging a delicate garland or string lights to create a warm, inviting ambience.
Add a Festive Touch to Walls and Windowsills
The walls and windows are perfect places for subtle decorations. Hang a small wreath, like the Soren Champagne Luxe Wreath, or festive artwork to bring the holiday spirit into the bedroom. Draping garlands or fairy lights along the windowsill adds a twinkle that reflects the magic of the season or decorate with some cute figurines like a ginger house or reindeer. To complete the look, incorporate soft, ambient lighting from a bedside table or desk lamp.
Ensure a Cosy Feel
For extra Christmas points, some fairy lights woven into the headboard or around mirrors create a gentle, festive glow, while bedside candles or lanterns in your chosen colours enhance the cosy feel. Finish by placing a few small Christmas ornaments on dressers or shelves, ensuring your bedroom becomes a peaceful, festive retreat ready for the holiday season.
How To Get The Kitchen Ready For Christmas
Getting your kitchen ready for Christmas is about infusing festive charm into one of the most bustling areas of your home. Make sure you are sticking to your chosen colour palette that compliments the rest of your Christmas decor then focus on the heart of the kitchen: the countertops. Adorn them with festive touches like holiday-themed dinnerware, tea towels, pot holders and a serving bowl filled with fruit ornaments or pinecones that will act as the centrepiece.
Set the Table and Add Some Flair
You can also add small, decorative items such as miniature trees or festive figurines in corners or on open shelves like adorable gingerbread or snowmen. Don't forget the dining table if it's in the kitchen. A festive table runner, placemats and holiday-themed napkins set the stage for Christmas meals with friends, family and loved ones. Consider hanging a garland or wreath (we recommend the Soren Wreath With Sisal Tree) above the table or around windows to add a touch of greenery.
Think About the Mood Lighting and Atmosphere
For lighting, think about warm, ambient options that create a cosy atmosphere. As it's Christmas, string lights along the top of cabinets or around windows provide a gentle glow, while candles on the countertop or table add warmth and festivity. With these touches, your kitchen will be ready to welcome the holiday spirit and all the joys of Christmas gatherings.
How To Get The Laundry Ready For Christmas
Bringing the festive spirit into your laundry room is a delightful way to extend the holiday cheer throughout your home. Remember to select ornaments and figurines that match the colour palette with the rest of your Christmas theme. Traditional reds and greens add a warm, cheerful touch, while soft golds, silvers or icy blues can create a more serene and modern atmosphere.
Small Touches Add Festive Feel
Because most laundry rooms aren't that big, begin by adding subtle decorations that won't interfere with the room's functionality. A small wreath, or a festive wall hanging above the sink or on the door can instantly lift the space. Also consider placing a few seasonal ornaments or small decorative items on open shelves or window sills. A festive runner or a novelty mat near the washing machine adds a cosy, welcoming feel to the laundry and adds a festive vibe without overpowering the confined space of the laundry room.
Create a Glowing Space
String lights or battery-operated fairy lights draped along the tops of cabinets or around the window frame create a soft, twinkling glow and an extra touch of warmth. By integrating these simple yet festive touches, your laundry room can become a charming extension of your holiday decor, making every corner of your home ready for Christmas.
