Christmas decoration: creative and sustainable tips

Decorating the house for Christmas is a favourite task for many families. Whether by following the tradition of decorating the house on the December 1st, or by decorating earlier (or later). But the important thing is to be aware of the different trends that emerge every year, and adapt depending on the decorative materials we have at home, for the sake of sustainability. In collaboration with habitissimo, a platform specializing in renovation work, we leave you suggestions for Christmas decorations that are a trend in 2022.

Elements of nature in Christmas decoration
Sustainability is an element with increasing importance in our lives, and Christmas decoration is no exception. So, one of the big trends this year is the use of elements of nature in home decoration for this season, such as pinecones (plain or painted), leaves and branches. That way, not only you prepare your house for Christmas, but you also bring nature indoors, which always adds more life and cosiness to any home. For a more sustainable Christmas, you can also make decorations from materials you have around the house that are not being used, such as pallets.

Traditional Christmas colours have not gone out of fashion
It is true that we have been using red, green and gold for years now when it comes to decorating for Christmas. But it's equally true that these colours haven't gone out of fashion, and that's why a big trend is the use of these colours in the different decorative elements. So don't be afraid to mix these three colours, thus creating a classic Christmas decoration that never goes out of fashion.

New shades for Christmas decoration
On the other hand, if you're already a bit fed up with colours more traditionally associated with this festive date, know that one of the big trends this year is the use of ornaments and decorations in pastel shades. You can choose to choose just one colour for the highlights, in order to create a more elegant and classic decoration, or you can choose to mix several colours, all of them pastel, creating an even more festive atmosphere.

Typical North American Christmas: decorate the whole house
When we think of Christmas decoration, we usually think only of the pine tree. But, although this is a very important element in this season, there are other ways to give more life to the house. For example, decorate the fireplace, entrance hall or even rooms like the kitchen. You don't need to use big decorations, but one or two ornaments will make a difference.

Complement the interior decoration with outdoor decoration, which may involve lights, stickers or other elements. Don't forget also the Christmas table decoration: use some decorative elements that match the home decoration, being careful not to overdo the number of elements you have on the table, so that the meal remains functional.
