How To Make Your Home A Cosy Christmas Retreat
We gain that festive fever in different ways. Some of us capture the spirit after having our first mince pie and glass of mulled wine, while others get in the Christmassy mood with a blast of Wizzard or Slade.
And Christmas should be a cosy occasion at home, which it will be if you have the right decorative setup.
Put a festive twist on your fireplace
Without it needing to be fired up, your fire can give off a warm feel if you make it a centrepiece of your living room, just like your Christmas tree.
It will be if you follow the current trend of adding a wreath to the space that’s directly above your fireplace – wreaths aren’t just for front doors, you know.
If you like to cover your mantel with a garland, accessorise it with a Christmas message in neon lighting, such as ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Ho-Ho-Ho’.
Fill used jars and bottles with fairy lights
Any leftover jars and bottles that you have after a pre-Christmas bash at home shouldn’t be thrown into the recycle bin. No, keep them and put fairy lights inside.
With a bottle, you want to drill a small hole in the bottom of it so that it’s big enough for the lights to be fed through. Play around with the lights until you find a nice arrangement.
Have them displayed on window sills, on shelves, table tops etc. and go for battery-powered versions of fairy lights so that they don’t cost you in energy.
Showcase family photos from Christmases past
Some of your biggest lifelong memories will have been made at Christmas and if any of them were captured on camera, these photos should be on view.
You could have a few of your favourites turned into snow globes or get them plastered on baubles and tassels for the Christmas tree.
That way, you’ll always be surrounded by loved ones at Christmas, even those no longer with us.
