How To Get Your Home Looking Festive For Christmas

Turn your Christmas tree upside-down

Yes, you have read that right! The upside-down Christmas tree is all the rage this year, as you will have seen if you follow celebs like Ariana Grande on Instagram. 

What Ariana, and the others, probably don’t realise is that the idea of hanging a Christmas tree upside-down actually dates back to the Middle Ages and isn’t a new concept. 

Upside-down Christmas trees are being sold by retailers like the aptly named Christmas Tree World.

Add some sparkle to your stairs

Stairs are a prominent feature in any house and they should be decorated for the occasion just like you’d decorate your front door or windows. 

You could get an all-natural garland that sits on top of your bannister from top to bottom, or at its base, with some fairy lights intertwined into it to make it stand out. 

The steps leading up to your upper floor can also be used for decorative purposes, each having their own little Christmas box on them.

Wrap your front door like a Christmas present

It’s not just all those toys, games and clothes that you’ve bought for people that need wrapping, but also your front door, which will be a refreshing change from the standard wreath.

Buy some red fabric if you have a white or light-coloured door, together with a large bow, a heavy duty magnet and some duct tape.

Cut the fabric to the relevant size and wrap the door with it, using tape to keep it in place. You will need the heavy duty magnet for sticking the bow on.
