The holiday season in 2020 is going to be dramatically different from previous years. You are used to heading out for many yuletide parties, catching up with old friends, and spending quality time with your nearest and dearest at Christmas. This year, a global pandemic has touched nearly every nation of the world, meaning that Christmas won’t be as social. In the worst case scenario, your festive foodie offerings may be shared over Zoom or, if you’re lucky, you might be able to select four people to spend Christmas Day with. This doesn’t mean that you have to forego the festive decor for your home. Check out the latest Christmas decor trends this holiday season.
Go Big
While the world is worrying about the ensuing pandemic, people have gone bigger than ever with their festive decor plans. It’s as if they are making up for the misery of the previous nine months by putting on a more Christmassy display than ever before. Get that seven foot Norwegian spruce from the local garden center, pick up some extra lights, and get the most flamboyant tree topper that you can find. If you are into fireplace decor, whip out your chunky knit stockings, go for the life-size Santa Claus that sits by your hearth, and enjoy putting out a festive toy train set. Don’t scrimp this season and make your home more festive and happy than ever.
The Table
When it comes to your table setting, go au natural. This year, it’s all about being sustainable, green and eco-friendly. Think about crafting your own table centerpiece with a green foam ring, and collect some ever green foliage, some pine cones, some firs, and some holly from the park. Adorn your natural arrangement with some preserved candied orange peel, cinnamon sticks, and some faux robins to give your piece of craft a retro vibe. When you think about your decorations, go for the homemade and rustic look. Your Murano chandeliers will look fabulous adorned with some retro tinsel. Consider rustling up some homemade mince pies and enjoy sending out some papercraft Christmas cards this year.
Outside
Don’t allow the curb appeal of your home to let down your festive vision. The decor of your yuletide dwelling needs to embrace the exterior of your pad. Enjoy setting up some lights outside your home. Ensure that you think about symmetry to create a balanced look to your home. Adorn your windows with teardrop or icicle lights and don’t be afraid to have a light show of snowmen, angels, and reindeer projected across your walls. In your driveway, whip up the inflatable Santa and put out the grazing ready-lit willow deer. Christmas should be a time when people look at your home and think how much of an effort you have made to bring joy to others.
Conclusion
The season of goodwill might not be the same as previous years. However, make the best with what you have and enjoy surrounding yourself with Christmas cheer.
