With Christmas fast approaching, you are probably feeling stressed and worried you are not going to manage all Christmas gifts shopping, what’s left for Christmas decorations.

Let me tell you, more isn’t always better when it comes to Christmas decorations. At Staging With Passion we stick to the rule “less is more”.

A single centre piece or a few well-coordinated accents can often create a great holiday atmosphere and still make your home feel ready for Christmas and New Year’s. A minimalistic décor that still looks stylish and timeless.

For your space to look Christmas-ready and stylish, but not crammed with excess decorations, consider the following:

• How big is your apartment or house – Select items that are proportionate to the size of the space. Oversized items would not only feel bulky, but also out of place in a small room.
• Spread the decorations in different corners of each room rather than placing them all together.
• What are the predominant colors in your interior – Match the colors of the decorative accents, so they blend in perfectly with the rest of your interior, while adding festiveness and glamour.
• Choose natural versus artificial whenever possible. Fresh tree, garland and pine cones would infuse liveliness and warmth into your space as they bring nature inside.

Items that always look good, regardless of whether you place them in an apartment or a house are:

• Christmas tree – You can choose between a real tree or artificial one. There are plenty of options to satisfy each taste. Just keep in mind that, the size of the tree has to be proportionate to the size of the room it is intended for.

• Wreath – Whether pine or made entirely of pine cones, decorate sparsely to achieve a stylish look. A red ribbon, for instance, wrapped around it or in a bow would create a simple, yet elegant piece.

• Garland(s) – Green, white, silver or golden, they fit most rooms and are an elegant and cozy touch to the overall décor. 

• Bows/Ribbons – A beautiful accessory in a variety of colors, which is often a preferred choice.

• Candles (white and/or red) – A timeless accent that fits most interiors.

• Poinsettias – While they are not a must, they always help bring the Christmas spirit in.

Whatever your choice of décor, choose per your taste, love for color and most of all enjoy with Christmas spirit in your hearts 😊.
