‘Tis the season to be festive
You know the festive season is just around the corner, when you start seeing tinsel and plum puddings stacked on the grocery shelves.
It’s such a unique feeling this time of year – like a gigantic warm hug! Anticipation, joy and possibly a bit of exhaustion! But it is all worth it. Christmas is coming!
And what better to celebrate with family and friends than to create a memorable Christmas day at home. And while you may want all the trimmings, such as a three-metre-high Christmas tree or the life-like mechanical festive statues, you don’t need to burn a hole in your pockets to create a similar impact.
There is a swag of inexpensive Christmas decorations available which can still make your home just as festive and personal.
Let’s celebrate the festive season!
Welcoming wreath
Hanging a wreath on your front door or gate is an ideal way to add that instant Christmas appeal to your home. From the modern and eclectic to the traditional, a Christmas wreath is a beautiful and affordable way to decorate the front of your home.
Whether you decide to make your own and create a bespoke family wreath with baubles and native pieces from the garden or you decide to buy one, a wreath sets the scene on what is in store for the rest of the home.
Touch of sparkle
Nothing says Christmas more than pretty and hypnotic fairy lights. A pop of sparkle will look perfect in the dining room, draped around your home’s front façade or in your alfresco area. It will add that touch of Christmas glamour without breaking the budget.
Using a handy timer, you can be greeted home every night with fairy lights magically turned on upon your arrival.
A sea of green and red
Green garland and red bows peppered in your living home, instantly fills the space with festive cheer. Bold and colourful, these bows create that classic Christmas ambiance. Your house will be transformed into the jolliest of houses, inside and out!
And once Christmas is over, they can be stored away and used the following year.
Cheery and cheerful
Whether they are the real deal or faux, a poinsettia plant is always an inexpensive and instant Christmas hit for your home or as a gift. It can be the perfect dinner table centre piece or placed on your island bench surrounded by candy canes.
Charge your glasses!
For that added touch of glamour to your Christmas lunch or dinner, why not grab yourself some festive charger plates in gold or silver and make that turkey and ham shine! Complete the set with some colourful glassware and matching Christmas crackers.
From all the Plantation Homes team, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous 2022.
