Styling Your Home for Christmas

We all do Christmas differently. Some of love the comfort of home, some are happy to spend it with loved ones, while others might head off for a cottage holiday and get away from it all.

While this Christmas might be a little different from normal, there are many ways to decorate your Christmas abode, but it at home or away.

Thanks to Lakelovers, I was able to give the bungalow a bit of a rustic feel, just as if I spending Christmas in one the beautiful Lake District Cottages from Lakelovers. After all the cosy cottage feel is in right now, making it the perfect time to recreate this rustic look in our own homes and bring some of that unique Lake District style. After all, this theme can help bring together a warm and welcoming theme which is reminiscent of those times when we can head away from home and spend some time tucked up warm by a crackling fire.  

So from me to you here are 5 ways to decorate should you be heading off to a cottage hideaway or staying at home.

Christmas Tree.

These days there are so many different types of trees out there, it doesn’t matter if you are staying at home or headed away there is something to work for you.

From mini trees, dressed up with chocolate (once it’s one its one less thing to take home). To a tree made from recycled wood.

Both options offer you something smaller to slip in your luggage but are beautiful to look at. 

Bunting.

Bunting offers something which can easily be slipped into the car without taking up much room. However, will unfold into something bright and colourful from your holiday abode.

From hanging bunting in your living area, along the bannister, draped over the fireplace or even around the windows. This really is a simple way to bring some Christmas cheer into the home.

Christmas Countdown.

There’s nothing quite like counting down the days to Christmas, be that using an advent calendar or something like this wooden reindeer.

One of the great things about these wooden countdown decorations is you can place them anywhere. From right in the middle of the mantel for all to see, to by a bed or even in the kitchen. It is always going to offer a good place to help you count down the days. 

Fairy Lights.

Is it Christmas without some twinkling lights? With so many different choices on the market, you are bound to find something that works for you. 

From some solar lights for the outside to a set of twinkling battery lights around the fireplace. You can even get some which hang up in the windows. 

Now you just need to decide on twinkling or static. 

Centrepiece.

Every Christmas table needs a centrepiece. So one which uses the idea of berries, twigs and pinecones, can help keep the rustic feeling alive. 

Picking one which also includes a candle can help add to the atmosphere, with the flickering of candlelight and the pleasant aroma filling the room. 

So there are just a few ideas from me to you, no matter if you are staying at home or heading away. 

I would love for you to share your ideas on the perfect way to stay the home for Christmas?
