Decoration: how to create a magical atmosphere?
Créer une ambiance magique de Christmas nécessite peu d’éléments et un peu d’imagination. Voici quelques idées pour vous inspirer, si vous n’avez pas terminé votre décoration.
Tips and tricks
1. Use lanterns, candles, and tealight holders around windowsills, tables, and fireplaces to add brightness. This sparkle will be reflected in mirrors, tree baubles, and shiny objects.
2. For a magical Christmas, dare to use iridescent, metallic, and shiny materials. Sequins and rhinestones work wonderfully.
3. Avant l’arrivée de vos invités, placez un CD de music d’ambiance ou des cantiques de Noël. Vous pouvez également parfumer les pièces avec un pot-pourri (ou un diffuseur) dans lequel vous verserez quelques gouttes d’essence de conifère (sapin, pin, pruche) ou de cannelle ou d’agrume (orange, mandarine, citron).
4. Your decorating style will be primarily influenced by your choice of colors. For a classic look, opt for red, green, gold, or silver. For an Arctic Christmas, opt for blue, white, silver, and reindeer. For an eco-friendly look, opt for light tones (white, beige) and natural materials such as raffia, straw, wicker, cinnamon sticks, dried fruit, and pine cones for decoration. The more adventurous will be tempted by an exotic Christmas by decorating with fuchsia, orange, purple, and gold.
The theme
If you choose to decorate around a specific theme (snowflake, for example), it will be appropriate to harmonize the entire decoration (table, garlands, windows).
For a more personalized touch, nothing beats homemade crafts made by children or adults.
