Merry Christmas 2023: Christmas is just a few days away and ‘tis the season to transcend traditional trimmings and elevate your seasonal decor game! In a dazzling collision of creativity and holiday spirit, let's sprinkle a touch of sophistication to our Christmas festivities. Picture your home adorned not just with ornaments, but so much more.
Here are some decor tips shared by expets to give your home a festive look this season.
Personalise Your Decor
Personalisation enhances the Christmas cheer, adding exclusivity to the overall interiors. Vipul Soni, who is the Founder and Principal Designer of Soni Vipul Designs, said, “Exploring artisanal ornaments, customised decor pieces, or curated family memoirs within personalised frames creates a sense of individuality. Handcrafted decor elements, custom-curated by skilled artisans, or personalised accents designed with meticulous attention, serve as resonant expressions of individual identities within the Christmas decorations. One can also look to incorporate cosy and warm textiles in their furnishings such as rugs and cushion covers. These bespoke touches transform spaces into immersive expressions of the holiday spirit, authentically encapsulating the magic of cherished traditions."
Embrace Sustainable Decor Choices
The holiday ambiance gains depth through the integration of sustainable design elements. Ar. Hartmut Wurster, who is a Principal Architect of Blocher Partners India, suggested, "Opting for eco-conscious materials like reclaimed wood, upcycled metals, or organic textiles enables us to create festive fervour through distinctive accents. Further, sustainable choices such as wreaths made of dried botanicals, ethically sourced fibres, and locally procured embellishments exemplify a mindful design approach that minimises environmental impact while introducing an elevated, eco-luxe dimension to holiday decor."
Extend Festive Cheer Outdoors
Taking the charm of Christmas decorations outdoors is more than just festive flair, it's a delightful way to share the holiday spirit beyond your indoor haven. Aashita Chadha, who is the Co-Founder and Chief Officer of Culture and Strategy at The KariGhars suggested, "Picture your outdoor spaces as an extension of your design canvas. Light up pathways with carefully positioned, artistically crafted LED lights, or give trees a stylish lift with nature-inspired adornments. Likewise, balconies can be converted into lively party areas by placing adaptable seating, introducing ambient lighting, and infusing merry decor to create a celebratory aura."
As the final ornament finds its place and the twinkling lights cast their warm glow, let this festive season be a testament to the fusion of innovation and tradition. May the spaces we inhabit echo with the laughter of loved ones and the resonance of creative expression. Let’s raise a virtual toast to a season that transcends the ordinary, leaving an indelible mark of sophistication and joy on the canvas of our homes and hearts. Merry Christmas and happy decorating!
