Celebrating Christmas in Your New Home: 4 Top Tips. The only thing more exciting than Christmas with the family is spending it in a new home. With a brand new house ready to be filled with cosy Christmas memories, it’s ultimate opportunity to deck the halls – and what better way to do that than by getting a little creative?
Leaving your last home behind can feel like you’ve left some memories with it – but the upside is that this is a chance to capture some new Kodak moments and transform the blank canvas that is your new home into a vibrant palette of good times.
Here are some festive furnishing tips to get you started.
Homemade Baubles
Your Christmas tree needs a personal touch – and no amount of shop-bought decorations can compete with the heart that homemade trinkets have. Making your own baubles is much easier than it sounds – with clear ornaments offering a ton of festive potential. Simply fill with clear floor wax, throw in some glitter and give it a shake. Hey presto – handmade Christmas sparkle.
DIY Door Wreath
Moving to a new home shortly before Christmas can be a bit of an alienating feeling, with the sense of community at an all-time high throughout the festive period. The best way to let your new neighbours know you’re as excited for the holidays as they are is to mark your door with the universal symbol for Christmas time: a nice green wreath. Get your hands on a fresh wreath and give it a custom makeover, adorning with dainty decorations and whatever else takes your fancy.
Make Your Own Mistletoe
Cooking up a little Christmas time romance isn’t too hard – especially with a dash of resourcefulness and some festive spirit. Nothing says cosy at Christmas like a sprig of mistletoe, and taking matters into your own hands guarantees evergreen effects. With some felt, a fabric pencil, a glue gun and an array of adorable extras, you can fashion your own homegrown mistletoe guaranteed to bring some romance to your new home this Christmas.
The Christmas Countdown
The best way to get your kids involved in the run-up to Christmas day is to make them a part of the big countdown. Advent calendars are a great way to build suspense throughout December – and with a touch of creativity, you can take this to a new level. Activity-based advent calendars offer an opportunity to turn the pre-Christmas anticipation into a month of excitement and adventure for your children – so get thinking and give your little ones something new to do every day this December.
