10 Easy Christmas Decor Ideas for your new home

Christmas is here. You’ve put your tree up. The decorations are hanging and the lights are twinkling. You’re ready to enjoy your first Christmas in your new home at Eden Beach, Jindalee!

Perhaps you’re having friends and family over to join you on Christmas Day and you want your new home to ooze festive charm. Or perhaps you’re just on the hunt for those final details to create a winter wonderland to enjoy at home.

Below we share our top 10 easy (and affordable) Christmas decor ideas you can try at home this year.

LIGHTS, LIGHTS, LIGHTS

Nothing screams ‘It’s Christmas’ like a festive twinkle at home. Add warm fairy lights to your tree, wrap them around shelving or place into a clear vase to embrace sparkle at home. Add a line of outdoor fairy lights to your alfresco or the elevation of your home to help your street get in the Christmas spirit.

RUSTIC CHARM

We might be in the middle of summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t bring some Canadian snow inspo to our homes! Add a splash of tartan or natural woods to bring forest woodlands to your living room this Christmas.

FESTIVE WELCOME

Say ‘Merry Christmas’ from the moment your guests arrive with a Christmas themed front doormat. Add a wreath like these from Kmart for extra festive cheer – without breaking the bank!

EVERGREEN IS KEY

Bring evergreen touches to your home with cuts of evergreen from your garden. Lacking a green thumb? Buy some sprigs of greenery from Spotlight to decorate your home. They may a great centrepiece for your Christmas table!

DRESS TO IMPRESS

Splash out on a few key accent pieces to dress your dining room table throughout December. Adding a placemat, tumblers and centrepiece should do the trick!

LET IT GLOW

If adding lights to your home sounds like hard work, adding candles to your coffee table bring festive warmth to your home. Treat yourself to a festive scent like this candle from Yankee Candle for extra festivity!

SPRUCE YOUR PLANTS

Add a touch of decor to your everyday plants. Baubles, tinsel and ribbon can be added to branches and sprigs of real and artificial plants to and touches of tasteful decoration.

CANDY, CANDY, CANDY

Christmas is the time for more treats than usual, right? Add a bowl of delicious lollies in bright colours to your dining room table or coffee table to act as a late-night snack and decor piece in one. Choose festive colours like reds, greens and golds for a seasonal look.

PUT OUT YOUR STOCKINGS EARLY

Stockings don’t need to be for Christmas Eve only! Place your stockings on your mantle place, TV unit, shelving or onto small hooks for colour and decoration.

DISPLAY YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS

Showcase your Christmas cards on a rustic piece of string along shelving or throughout key furniture pieces in your dining and living room. Each card offers a unique decor piece to bring cheer to your space.
