A matching colour scheme as the basis for your Christmas decorations

Red, green and white is the classical trio for any Christmas decorations, because these colours create a magical festive flair. Add a little gold and silver on top and you have the perfect recipe for a successful Christmas colour scheme. If you follow this scheme throughout your entire home, you will create a wonderful red thread that connects all living spaces to form a harmonious picture. Red radiates a contemplative warmth and is therefore particularly suitable as a colour for candles or fabrics. After all, it is Father Christmas’ preferred colour! Green on the other hand creates freshness and radiates a natural flair. For your Christmas decorations, it is best to choose a rich fir green, because it will bring your dream of winter woods to life in no time. White is the colour of snow and no winter decorations should be without it, and gold and silver sparkle beautifully in the candlelight and create a magical winter atmosphere in your home.

Christmas decorations for the living room

A joyful Christmas season includes many wonderful hours in good company, which we especially like to spend on our sofa surrounded by our loved ones, sheltered from the cold weather outside. Thus, Christmas decorations in the living room are particularly representative in most households. Here, for example, you will often find the impressive, decorated Christmas tree, which can make a big impression on friends and relatives. A beautiful nativity scene can also be beautifully staged in the living room and at the same time transports the spirit of Christmas through its contemplative character. But even if you cannot warm up to the Christmas story, there are plenty of other ideas for a successful Christmas decoration in your living room. Illuminated Christmas stars are perfect for bathing living room windows in a cosy light, and an Advent wreath will let the living room table shine in flickering candlelight. The living room becomes extra cosy with a crackling open fire, and on the mantelpiece, striped Christmas socks in red and white add that special cuteness factor. These can be decorated with fir greenery, or you can use a garland of pine branches or golden tinsel to give your mantelpiece a Christmas makeover.

Christmas decorations for the bedroom: the bed

Do you always think of the bedroom last when it comes to Christmas decorations? Too bad! Your own bedroom can spread a wonderful festive magic with the right winter furnishing ideas. After all, we especially like to snuggle up under our warm blankets in cold December and so we certainly spend more time in our bedroom than at any other time of the year. Reason enough to seriously consider the topic of Christmas decorations for the bedroom. Do not worry, we are not suggesting that you move your beautifully decorated Christmas tree into your bedroom. But most bedrooms have plenty of room for wonderful decorating ideas, like garlands, Christmas wreaths and string lights. You can create a good basis by choosing bed linen that fits right into the colour scheme you have used to decorate the rest of your home. If red bed linen alone is not festive enough for you, you can of course add a scoop and choose bed linen with Christmas-inspired motifs such as delicate snowflakes, cute reindeer or frosty snowmen. The headboard is also ideal for decorating with a festive garland of green twigs. Alternatively, a sparkling string of lights is a good choice, because warm light immediately creates a cuddly atmosphere.

Christmas decorations for the bedroom: bedside table and more

Even if your bed is the central piece of furniture in your bedroom, it is still worth taking the whole room into account when decorating for Christmas. For example, if there is a window in your bedroom, you can add a Christmas wreath to it in no time at all to give it a wintery appeal. And even the curtain rail can be quickly updated with a festive tinsel garland. The bedside table offers a particularly beautiful stage for Christmas decorations. Here, romantics can place thick red Christmas candles, preferably with wintery scents such as spicy cinnamon or baked apple. But magnificent Christmas bouquets are also shown off to their best advantage here. And lovers of cute figures will find enough space on the bedside table to put up some cute Father Christmas or snowman figures. Do you need extra space to embellish your bedroom and are you looking for particularly generous storage space? Then you will find what you are looking for, for example, in our Swissflex bedside table models, which can be individually mounted on the headboard or installed as a free-standing object. Outside the festive season, you can simply use the space for all your favourite personal items such as photo frames or magazines. This way you can kill two birds with one stone. But whatever decorations you choose in the end, we wish you a wonderfully relaxed Christmas in your magically decorated winter paradise!
