Classic Christmas decorations for every room

Classic Christmas decorations give every room a festive atmosphere and are an indispensable part of the Christmas season. Would you like to give your home, restaurant or hotel a festive look? These Christmas decoration ideas for indoors are always a hit.

The Christmas tree as a central eye-catcher

The Christmas tree is the focal point of your decorations, decorated with baubles, lights, glittering ornaments and elegantly wrapped presents that find their place under the greenery. Whether you opt for an opulent or a simple tree, the Christmas tree is the central eye-catcher and brings festive flair and the characteristic scent of the forest into your living area. For many families, a Christmas tree is simply a must at home - but the fir tree also brings an incomparably festive atmosphere to a hotel or restaurant. But of course it doesn't necessarily have to be a real tree. Artificial models are practical as they do not needle and can simply be stored in the cellar or attic - ready for use next year.

The Advent wreath as a harbinger of Christmas

Another classic Christmas decoration for indoors is the Advent wreath. This is traditionally decorated with four candles, which are lit on the Sundays of Advent. You can give free rein to your creativity when designing the wreath - choose a design that matches the rest of your decorating concept. DIY projects are always a good option here. A round wreath made from fir branches is very traditional, often with red or gold decorations and matching candles. If you want to focus more on natural materials, you can get creative and make an Advent wreath from a log and decorate it with mosses, pine cones, branches and decorations to match the rest of your interior. There are also prefabricated metal wreaths that can be kept simple or decorated.

Simple Christmas decoration ideas for indoors - the poinsettia

Speaking of simple - if you don't want to spend too much time and money on Christmas decorations for a room or if you don't have the space for opulent decorations, even subtle elements can make a big impact. How about a small poinsettia placed on the windowsill, a sideboard or the dining table? The plant, also known as poinsettia, is a symbol of the Christmas season and attracts everyone's attention with its deep red color.

Extraordinary Christmas decorations for your interiors

In addition to classic Christmas decorations such as Christmas trees and Advent wreaths, there are many other ways in which you can decorate your interior in a creative and modern way.

Christmas tree alternatives

It doesn't always have to be the classic Nordmann fir when it comes to the Christmas holidays. In many homes or indoor areas in hotels or restaurants, trees can sometimes be a little impractical - especially if there is a lack of space or the firs start needling too early. Alternatively, you can simply place a few conifer branches in a large vase and decorate them with tree decorations. But there are also more unusual options: do you have an old sleigh in the garage? Use this nostalgic vehicle from your childhood and build a wintery โ€œshelfโ€ with the help of a few short boards, which you can decorate to your heart's content. We promise that this Christmas tree alternative will be an absolute eye-catcher that will delight your guests. It will be even more unusual if you replace your Christmas tree with a wooden stepladder. You heard right - choose a fold-out ladder that is the same height on both sides. When unfolded, its shape resembles that of a fir tree. You can then decorate such a ladder tree in the same way as the classic fir tree. Fairy lights, garlands, Christmas baubles and other decorations can be attached to the steps. The end product looks modern, playful and yet traditional - a tree alternative that will soon be on everyone's lips.

Lighted Christmas decorations for indoors

Illuminated decorations are an absolute must at Christmas time. Fairy lights are particularly practical: they can decorate your Christmas tree, be placed on the windowsill or draped over your bookshelf. The LED lights can either be plugged into a socket via a mains adapter or powered by batteries. You can also use lanterns or paper stars for your Christmas lighting in the house - they look particularly beautiful in front of the window. You can find more inspiration for Christmas window decorations here. Of course, candles in various shapes are also an inseparable part of the Christmas season. The flickering light of stick candles in elegant candle holders brings a mystical flair to your home. Tea lights cast beautiful shadows on your walls thanks to festive designs or provide warm, inviting lighting. These decorative elements help you to create a cozy and festive atmosphere that radiates calm and invites you to linger.

Use existing areas for Christmas decorations

Don't have much free space to set up large decorative elements such as a Christmas tree in your home? Use existing surfaces, for example on bookshelves, side tables, the mantelpiece or sideboards, to place imaginative decorations. Create a Christmas corner on your mantelpiece and use various decorative trees to create a winter forest in which proud deer figures or reindeer can roam. A decorated tray or large glass is also a great way to bring Christmas flair into your home. You can decorate these with fir branches, cones, figurines, LED fairy lights, dried orange slices and much more to create a sophisticated overall look. By the way: Christmas baubles don't just look good on the tree! They can also be used in glass bowls or on trays. If you have a Christmas tree, your decorations will look particularly harmonious if you use the same baubles to decorate both the tree and the surfaces. If you want to create a cozy, festive scent in your interior with your Christmas decorations, a potpourri could be just the thing for you. This trend, which has been around since the 18th century, involves making a fragrant mixture from various plant parts and spices and placing it in a container in the room. For a Christmassy scent, choose dried oranges, apples or cranberries, cinnamon, cloves, fir branches and cones. The bonus: The various ingredients can be arranged attractively in a jar or on a plate - so they exude their festive scent and look good at the same time. One of the areas you can decorate for the Christmas season is, of course, your dining table. Discover great ideas for your Christmas table decorations.

Christmas decorations for the wall inside

You can also give your walls a Christmassy touch with a few clever decorative elements. Branches that are hung on the wall pick up on the current trend towards natural colors and shapes. They can then be adorned with various decorations, including Christmas baubles, pendants, fir branches or fairy lights. You can also install an alternative to the Christmas tree on the wall: You can find fairy lights in the shape of a tree in stores, as well as models that resemble a hanging ladder. You can also hang several fir branches in decreasing sizes in the shape of a tree on your wall and decorate them with baubles. Ornate decorative wreaths are also a beautiful way to festively decorate a wall. They look particularly attractive above the dining table or seating areas. Choose between pre-decorated models or get creative yourself and decorate your wreath with various branches, flowers, pine cones, fairy lights and other Christmas decorations. However, make sure to keep the back of the wreath as flat as possible so that it lies flat against the wall when hung up.
