Truth be told, the approach of the Christmas season brings with it the anticipation of days filled with memory making events and family togetherness. However, apart from planning dinners for our families and throwing cocktail parties for our friend, holiday season is also the right time to let our creativity shine through as we watch our stairwells, tables and mantel come to holiday life. The best part, Christmas decorations don’t have to break a bank. Here is a rundown of top Christmas decoration ideas you could actually try out this coming Christmas.

Make your entrance stand out
Our entrance is probably one of the most focal points; we need to make it shine by adding seasonal flair such as ornaments, pinecones to our stairwell and front foyer to bring out that pleasant first impression. In other cases; we can choose to shake things up on the front door; we do away with those traditional wreaths and welcome our visitors with ornaments tied with a satin ribbon. They always look amazing and welcoming.

Use different color schemes
I saw a friend try this some times back and it came out perfectly well; Christmas decoration is not only about red and green. Embrace a number of color schemes that are festive and pleasantly unique.

Try out an alternative Christmas tree
If you are running out of space in your living room, allergic to pine or you just feel like trying out something else, there is no way anything could go wrong if you go for a modern holiday tree; there are excellent choices in the market we can choose from.

Show off your Christmas cards
My wife once tried this trick after a friend told us and visitors totally loved it. If you also normally hang onto their Christmas cards because they are too pretty to throw away? Well, this is now your time to turn them into works of art. Using Spray Mount, rubber cement or even double sided tape, attached a card front to a mat board. Trim them to fit a single card or just cover a larger piece of your mat board with several cards and finally decorate a tree or doorway.

Consider modern wreaths
For most people, wreaths may be classic Christmas decoration ideas, but with a good number of modern wreaths, which are hitting the market, you can now use a modern and innovative modern wreath on your front door, windows or even over the mantel.

Lighting and put presents in your fireplace
For decades, lights have always been the go-to decor for Christmas trees; however, with the coming in of LED string lights and fixtures we can now illuminate our rooms and objects in new and pleasant ways. Be bold enough this Christmas holidays and go big with your light show; the more you use, the cooler the effect. Besides, if you won’t be using your fireplace, it does necessarily mean the space has to be neglected. Take those nicely wrapped boxes and put them in there for an incredible festive display.

Fine dining
With a little bit of creativity and right touches, you can actually turn that simple dinner party into an elegant and memorable dining experience. Personally, I would recommend you take a few metallic placements, silver embellished napkins rings and you scatter them around the table.
