Christmas Decorating Ideas For Your New House
If you bought a house this year, you are probably excited about decorating for Christmas. When you can make your home look like Christmas, you can get into the holiday spirit. What works for one home might not work for another, and you might need to spend some time figuring out what will work best for your new home. Here are some Christmas decorating ideas for your new house to get you thinking.
The Tree
The tree will be the main focus of your living room during Christmas time. You will want to pick a tree that is good for your home. If you have tall ceilings, go with a bigger tree than if you don't. Think about what would look best in your house.
If your house is big enough, you can go with more than one tree. Put a smaller one in the kitchen or playroom. You can also let your kids pick out a tree for their rooms.
Lights
Lights are another big part of decorating for Christmas. You can put outside lights on your home, in the bushes, or even on trees. You can go all out, make pictures with the lights, or put up a simple display.
In some neighborhoods, they might have contests for who has the best lights, so make sure you find out if they will be doing so in your new neighborhood. Make sure you have a ladder and know how to put the lights on your home before you start. You should also make sure you have enough lights for the area you want to put them on.
Garland
Garland adds a lot to your decorations too. You can put garland so many different places. Put the garland on the stairs, over the fireplace, or even over the door. Take a walk around your home to see what places the garland can go.
Wall Hangings
Christmas themed wall hangings and pictures are a good idea. If you lived in a smaller home before, you might need to go out and buy more to fill up your walls. See what will fit and what style you would like. You can also let your kids pick out wall hangings for their rooms.
Outside Decor
In addition to lights, you can add other outside decor such as blow up decorations or different things that would add to the celebration. Think about the space you have and what would look good there. Go to the store and see what you would want to have in your yard and outdoor space.
In the end, you should decide what would look best in your new home. Pick a theme that will work for the style of your house. If your home is modern looking, a traditional Christmas look might not be the best thing to go with. Spend time looking online and at stores to see what is out there and what you would want to go with.
