Les tendances déco pour des fêtes chaleureuses et heureuses

As the cold sets in and snow begins to dust the trees, there's an urge to brighten up our homes for Christmas. There’s nothing quite as welcoming as a beautifully decorated house filled with festive touches. To reignite that magical feeling that sparkles in the eyes of both young and old, we often bring out the same decorations year after year. However, it’s surprisingly easy to give your Christmas vibe a modern twist.

Whether you're focusing on indoor or outdoor decor, the latest trends bring a joyful, cozy, and enveloping atmosphere to your home. Some even allow kids to get involved in creating projects that will leave them with sweet Christmas memories.

Christmas Outside

First things first: let’s think about Christmas outdoors! The door is usually the first place we consider decorating. And there are plenty of options when it comes to wreaths. Natural aesthetics and a certain simplicity remain popular. Consider going for a plain fir wreath adorned simply with seasonal berries, little cones, and a single ribbon—red or even blue. You can also add minimalist elements that still remind us of the nature around us: snowflakes and pretty stars will make your doorway stand out.

Potted plants can also join the festive scene and transform into something more celebratory. Creating arrangements with pine branches, cones, and colorful twigs can create a striking effect. Remember, the key trend this year is to go for a natural, understated look.

A Warm Interior

Sitting by a crackling fire with loved ones is one of life’s simplest pleasures. Settling comfortably with a cup of hot chocolate on a bench near the hearth and chatting with those you cherish is pure bliss. Since the fireplace is such a gathering spot, it’s a great idea to decorate it to make it more festive during the holiday season.

Once again, nature and simplicity will find their way into your decor. Match your stockings with the colors of your interior. White walls and black furniture? Go for stockings in the same hues. Small potted fir trees, cones, and a lantern with candles can be placed on the mantel. Floral arrangements can also be set on a table, ensuring enough space for appetizers to be served before the meal.

Don’t forget to throw in some throws or shawls on chairs and benches—they’ll keep guests snug and contribute to the warm, festive atmosphere perfect for holiday gatherings.

Christmas at the Table

The table remains the heart of the holiday celebrations. Christmas dinner is often the most indulgent meal of the year, where smiles widen at dishes prepared with love, and fine china makes its appearance. Like the rest of your Christmas decor, the trend of “sapinage” (using fir branches) has found its way to the center of our tables.

Instead of just having a centerpiece, consider creating a complete fir branch pathway along the table. This path will look stunning if you place several candlesticks of varying heights, holding white candles that you’ll light on Christmas Eve. If you opt for larger candlesticks, space them out and reduce their number depending on the size of your table.

Again, you can sprinkle your fir branches with seasonal cones and berries, or even place a bouquet of white flowers at the center of the table path. It’s best to keep the height low to allow guests to see each other and chat easily.

The beauty of this fir trend is that it works perfectly with any style of table and chairs, whether traditional, rustic, modern, or farmhouse.

DIY Christmas Ornaments: The Trend of the Season!

Whether they’re meant to adorn your tree or be given as gifts, DIY Christmas ornaments will remind you of happy times. And if you involve children in this festive project, these decorations will become sources of pride for your little artists-in-training!

You can find plastic balls at art supply stores. Fill them with delicate beads, a few fir branches, and tie them with a pretty ribbon. Natural wooden ornaments that you paint in cheerful colors can also make wonderful gifts for young children to give.

Colored clay, with or without baking, rolled out with a rolling pin, cut with cookie-shaped cutters, and inscribed with a sweet message after piercing a hole for a ribbon, will make adorable decorations for the tree or even gift tags. This project can also be done with self-hardening modeling clay.

Not only will these handmade ornaments personalize your decor, but they’ll also make thoughtful gifts that say, "I was thinking of you."
