With Christmas 🎄 just around the corner, there is no better way to welcome the holiday season ✨ than by giving your house a little makeover. But don’t worry, decorating your home doesn't have to be expensive. Just before the holiday season kicks in, you can add a fresh feel to your home with a few budget-friendly do-it-yourself projects. Here are some ideas for decorating your house for the holidays, thank us later! 🥰
Give Your Walls a Christmas Glow with a Fresh Coat of Paint
Any space could benefit from a new coat of paint, and the best part is that it's one of the simplest ways to give your house a rapid makeover. As the days get darker, this can be a great time of year to consider deeper hues as you can see how they sit when you have less sunlight through your home. Think of refreshing your walls in soft white, rich burgundy, or deep green if you want to embrace the wintery feel year-round and make your home feel cosier over the holidays 🤩.
PS: Remember that a simple white paint job can create a crisp, contemporary atmosphere in an area that serves as the ideal backdrop for your holiday décor. 😉
Deck the Walls - with Festive Panelling
An easy and budget-friendly 💷 way to refresh your home for your holidays is with wall panelling. Wall panels can give your house an instant makeover, whether you go for classically simplistic Georgian-style wall panelling or Tongue & Groove Style wall panels; which blends timeless elegance with contemporary functionality. The good news is that you can make these simple upgrades yourself in a weekend. If you want to know how to panel your wall, here’s the blog for you!
All of our wall panels are manufactured from Medites Premium Moisture Resistant MDF, making them ideal for damp and humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms. Plus, all products come with a 25-year guarantee, thanks to our use of the best tried-and-tested materials. That way, you can enjoy a long-lasting makeover!
Create a Winter Wonderland by Rearranging Furniture
There are times when a little thing such as rearranging furniture is all that's needed to give a house a fresh new feel. Look for new ideas to arrange your current furniture to make an open, more welcoming area.
If you are inviting your friends and family over the holidays, you can look at arranging a cosy accent chair facing the fireplace so that you can enjoy the warm glow of the holiday season while drinking hot chocolate. Invite people to join in conversation by placing a loveseat or a few chairs in groups around the tree.
Wrap Your Home in Cosy Christmas Textiles
You can add soft, cosy, and festive touches to your living area with red socks on the fireplace, new cushions, throws, and furry rugs. Textured knits, velvet, and faux fur are examples of winter fabrics that are ideal for achieving a warm, festive atmosphere.
You can swap your ordinary cushion covers with more festive ones; opt for traditional plaids, winter greens, or shades of red and gold. Simple seasonal décor changes like a festive doormat or a few new table runners can make a big impact in your room.
Giving your house a Christmas makeover can be done without spending a lot of money. You can set up a pleasant and welcoming ambience just in time for the holidays by concentrating on minor but powerful changes like wall panelling, a new coat of paint, rearranging your furniture, and adding some new comfy linens. Your house will feel new again and be prepared to welcome the magic that Christmas brings and be ready to see you into the New Year!
