Christmas tinsel garland can make the holidays sparkle. Strung on a tree, green garland catches the twinkling lights and can make a sparse evergreen look fuller. Green is one of the most popular decorating colors for the holiday season. Inexpensive garland will make your home look beautiful while keeping your decorating bill under budget. Add some touches of green garland to your decorating scheme this year.
Wrap a strand of battery-powered Christmas lights around a few feet of green Christmas garland. Tie them together with some floral wire, cinching your strand at the top, bottom and in the middle. Coil the lighted garland into a large hurricane vase. Fluff out the garland. Place the tinsel-filled vase on your Christmas dinner table or on an entryway table where everyone can enjoy it all season long. Make several of these and place one in your bedroom and guestroom to make the whole house cheery. Use multi-colored or green miniature lights.
Choose retro Christmas decorations when you want to get back to your roots or give your home an old-fashioned feel. There are lots of ways you can decorate your home in retro style, simply by using retro colors or certain types of decor. Retro Christmas decorations can give your home more of a fun feel than typical modern decor.
Silver tinsel trees were all the rage in the 1960s, once artificial trees had become popular. Choose a silver tree and pair it with modern lights and ornaments for a cool juxtaposition of retro and modern decor. Alternatively, choose a silver tree and decorate it with antique ornaments, large, colorful lights and other vintage Christmas decorations.
If you’re decorating for the holidays and have lots of space to work with, this can be a benefit as well as a challenge. Christmas decoration for a large place can be elegant and understated, or whimsical and eye-catching depending on the event you’re hosting, or the type of spacious area you’re adorning.
If you have to buy lots of decor for the area, sticking to one color scheme may make it easier to shop for holiday accents, but will also give the room a sophisticated feel.
