As such, it is a great time to look at getting Christmas ready and inject a little festive magic into our homes.

Cosy up with a traditional style or declutter your space and embrace a minimalist yet stylish Scandi look; we break down some of the most festive themes for a magical, Christmas home décor, inspiration.
Cosy and snug with French Country
For an elegant and timeless look, a French country theme is a charming style to introduce into your home this Christmas. Exhibited through stylish, ornate furniture and sumptuous décor its very essence is to bring nature inside the home. Vibrant flowers and rich greenery, such as festive wreaths, are a fabulous touch. The colour scheme is muted yet inspiring, through the hues of soft sage, auburn and champagne accents. There are some beautiful French-inspired furnishings available, from enchanting chandeliers to French colonial style extendable tables, to impress the guests this Christmas.
Strip back with a Scandinavian theme
For those who are looking for a ‘less is more’ approach, a Scandinavian Christmas home décor theme is perfect as it is minimalistic yet stylish. Consider a contemporary Scandinavian inspired sofa and introduce warm, neutral colours through textured accessories such as throws and cushions. Light in Scandinavian countries is famously at a premium, so letting in as much light as possible is essential. Introduce candles, string lights and table lamps to create a cosy ambience as the night draws in. With a Scandi theme, resist the temptation to bombard your Christmas tree with too many accessories; understated and minimalistic is key. Save the glittery tinsel for another year!
Bring some magic with a Winter Wonderland theme
What is Christmas without the anticipation of snow blanketed gardens and lightly frosted windows? If snow is not on the cards this year, bring it inside through the magic of a winter wonderland theme. A Christmas tree decorated with contrasting sized pine cones, snow-white branches and warm coloured ornaments adds a fantastic winter touch. Layer sofas with snug throws and comfy pillows for the ultimate cosy feel.
Step back in time with a traditional theme
Christmas this year, brings with it a healthy dose of nostalgia. After celebrations were kept small in 2020, it has made many of us appreciate the fundamental meaning of Christmas. Embrace the traditional colours of deep burgundies and golds with accessories. Vintage style decorations, natural pine trees and homemade stockings fit beautifully in a classic or rustic style living room.
Sustainability has deservedly had more focus on it in the last year. Choosing Christmas home decor items that reduce our carbon footprint and are environmentally friendly is more important than ever. A consumer’s focus is gradually shifting onto what small things they can do to make a difference. Recycled decorations, choosing good quality furniture and even turning a houseplant into a Christmas tree are all great ideas to make a Christmas an environmentally, friendly one.
Decorating our homes at Christmas is one of the season’s highlights so whatever you choose, go for a Christmas home décor theme that fits easily into your home and gets you in the mood for festivities and fun.
