Christmas is right around the corner, so we’re continuing on with our festive themed content here at Taskers of Accrington! So, to celebrate the season of peace and goodwill to all, we’ve put together a few of our favourite Christmas decorating techniques that you can use to bring the festive cheer to every part of your home.

Add some Christmas cheer with decorations

Decorations are by far the number one feature that distinguish a home during the festive period. So, if you’re looking to really bring the Christmas cheer to your home, here are a few main features to focus on:

The Christmas tree - of course, this is the best place to start. Your Christmas tree serves as the anchor point for the rest of your home design. You can decorate it with whatever you like - whether that’s tinsel, baubles, or lights, the choice is yours! The trick is to decorate your tree in a way that reflects the rest of your room design.

Deck the halls - if you’re someone who enjoys a classical green Christmas tree, then why not consider adding dashes of holly around your space to complement it? Holly is one of the most recognisable decorations that you can display around your home, as it's something that many people immediately associate with Christmas.

Window features - on top of your Christmas tree and holly wreaths, you could be extra creative and add some simple fairy lights to your windows to create further visual interest. Window decorations are also a really great way of attracting compliments from anyone walking by your property.

Of course, you probably have your own ideas about what makes for a great Christmas decoration scheme! These are just a few suggestions to help get you on your way, and all of these suggestions can be applied to all the different rooms in your house, whether that’s the living room, dining room or bedroom!

Fill the air with festive fragrance

If you’re trying to create the perfect Christmas atmosphere within your home, then it’s not just the visual elements that you need to pay attention to! Christmas is a feeling, and if you want to really capture every aspect of it, then it’s vital that you appeal to all the senses. A great way of doing this is by adding some Christmas themed fragrances to your home, either through scented candles, diffusers or air fresheners. If you’re looking for a recommendation - anything with hints of cinnamon and apple, as these tend to be the Christmas go-to fragrances.

Create a cosy, warm glow in your home

Fairy lights, Christmas tree lights, and scented candles are all brilliantly effective ways of bringing a warm Christmassy glow to your home during the festive season. Christmas is all about comfort - comfy clothes, comfort food, being comfortable in the company you keep - so as a general rule of thumb, stick to yellow lighting as it gives the cosiest feel. To achieve this, we’d recommend opting for soft white bulbs between 2,700 and 3,000K; and generally speaking, angle poise lamps and table lamps often seem warmer than bright overhead lights.
