With Christmas round the corner, there can be no better reason to party. And this time if you want the décor of the party venue to be different from the previous years, all you have to do is unleash your creative side. Or else, read on to follow the advice of experts
Colour splash
“Christmas décor is all about colours in bright red and green. The Christmas tree is a primary element in the décor, but we can also deck up our houses with poinsettia flowers and bright colours. We can also design gift boxes and make personalise cards for loved ones,” says Amitabh Bendre, design head, Evok.
When decorating your home for a Christmas bash, work with a colour scheme in mind. “During festivities, keep in mind that less is more. Colourful candles on elegant candle-stands can make up for the minimal décor. Using ornaments as table decorations can also add sparkle to a table-top,” says Bindu Vadera of Varya. If one wants to enjoy the process, one can choose to make the decorative items at home. “You can make the decorative items such as stars, bells, balls and decorating gift items at home, thus saving on money,” says Amitabh.
Be experimental
The colour scheme is very important when it comes to yearend décor. Apart from the usual bells and tree, one should also use fruits as a part of decoration. “Fruits such as cherry, pomegranate and chocolates wrapped in gold and silver — all these items can impart festive flavour to the setting,” says Mandeep Nagi of Shades of India. Interior designer Punam Kalra says, “One can make stars out of paper and can also use old wires and fused bulbs to decorate the tree.”
