7 Ideas for a Christmas Home Transformation

7 Ideas for a Christmas Home Transformation

The festive season is the perfect time of year to let your imagination run wild and expressed yourself by decorating all around the house.


And there is a winter holiday decorating colour scheme, style, and theme for every taste! Choose a look and a few accent colours and use them in every room to create a unified and coherent decor. In this way, you will be sure to obtain a pleasant atmosphere.

Naturally and Asymmetrically Shaped Trees

Perfect conifer cones are out, and natural trees are in! As a matter of fact, artificial trees are now imitating their farm-grown cousins. With shorter branches all along the centre of the trunk to obtain an uneven triangular shape, these Christmas trees may not look as flawless, but are oh so more festive! And why limit yourself to just one tree? In addition to the one in the living room, add a tree in the bedrooms, entryway or even home office and dining room if you have the space! 

Environmentally Minded

People now want to be environmentally friendly during the holidays as well. Think artisanal centrepiece arrangements, and second-hand dishware and glassware. But no worries, there is no compromise on the glitter and glamour of the season! Deep colours such as cranberry red and chestnut brown in addition to silver and gold tones continue to be trendy for 2021–2022.

Handmade decorations are the stars of the show for Christmas trees. Purchase from local artists and artisans or get crafty and make your own. Try your hand at stringing garlands of popcorn and cranberries or dried citrus rounds. Or arrange bouquets of branches, pinecones, and ribbons. How pretty!

Layers of Snowy White

This year in stores, you will find accessories in a range of whites for the entire home: accent pillows, throws, wreaths, table linens (tablecloths, runners, napkins, towels). Use these crisp pure hues to add the feel of newly fallen snow to your rooms.

Silver Softened by Gold

Metallic accessories continue to hold pride of place in holiday decor. Gold—at the forefront in the past few years—is now giving way to silver for 2021. A cold colour, silver evokes winter’s frosty chill. In contrast, gold tones will warm up the decor. Don’t hesitate to use them together!

Pink and Gold: A Winning Duo

Darker shades of pink look great with gold. This colour combo is magnificent as a holiday table setting and works exceptionally well with dark walls. It brings that touch of sophistication that is so appreciated during the festive season.

Traditional or Nostalgic Decors

Red, especially when use with white, remains a staple of many residences’ holiday decor. If integrated into a design featuring natural wood, these two colours are the perfect embodiment of Christmas. This textural combination is particularly successful in chicly rustic rooms.

A Playful Touch

Christmas gnomes are very popular this year. These fun little characters will undoubtedly make your visitors smile. Place them on the table, near the tree, on the chimney mantle … the possibilities are endless! You will probably want to purchase them in pairs! Moreover, remember to change your guests’ hand and bath towels to Christmas-themed ones.

For a complete holiday decor at home, don’t forget to fill your home with fragrance. If you aren’t the type to bake multiple batches of cookies, use an essential oil diffuser or scented candles in seasonal aromas like gingerbread or hot chocolate with cinnamon, and vary the scent room to room.
