1. CHOOSE A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TREE
It doesn't get more timeless and traditional than embracing Christmas tree ideas over the holiday season. Often sitting at the center of our festive displays, having a Christmas tree in your home is a classic (and easy) way to make your home feel more festive.
2. DECORATE WITH FESTIVE FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE
'Whether you choose to decorate with traditional poinsettias, sophisticated amaryllis or cheerful holly berries, the addition of fresh flowers, plants and Christmas wreaths will undeniably infuse your space with a warm and inviting atmosphere,' says Maryam Ghani, manager of Haute Florist.
3. OPT FOR CLASSIC CHRISTMAS COLOR SCHEMES
'One of the most traditional color combinations to use at Christmas has to be red and gold. If you want to take this classic color scheme up a notch and make it feel more luxe, layer in warm metallics such as copper or bronze. These color combinations always work well in homes of all styles,' says Shane Pliska from Branded Holiday.
4. DECORATE WITH COZY CANDLES
What can be more classic than the cozy, warming and alluring glow of candlelight? Of course, many of us use the best candles all year round to bring inviting scent, style and ambient lighting into our homes, but the more candles you use during holiday season, we think, the better.
5. STYLE YOUR SPACE WITH VINTAGE STYLE ORNAMENTS
'Use vintage-inspired ornaments on your tree and throughout your home, such as retro tinsel that sparkles, satin tartan Christmas tree skirts and cozy stockings. Tartan ribbons woven into garlands can add a beautiful finish to a wreath, along with layers of greens, pine cones, and winterberry,' says Michael Giannelli.
6. CRAFT HAND-MADE DECORATIONS
It doesn't get more old school than embracing DIY Christmas decor ideas. From learning how to make a Christmas wreath, to crafting homemade tree ornaments and dried orange garlands, a touch of the unique and the handmade is a great way to make your home feel more traditional.
