How to get decorative with your blinds and curtains this Christmas
Christmas is just around the corner! This means decorating the home is high on the to-do list, but it can be so much more than just a standard tree! Make the most of your decorations this festive season by making a statement with your window treatments too.
Festive window decorations:
It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas decorations and your windows are the perfect space to inject some festive cheer into any room! From hanging ornaments and lights from your roller blinds, to ribbons and garlands for a pop of colour and Christmas cheer! Whether you’re a ‘more the merrier' or you fall into the ‘simplicity is key’ type, there’s always an eye-catching window treatment to help you celebrate in style.
Shutter decorations:
You may be hesitant to hang anything too extravagant off your shutters due to their functional, mechanical nature. Never fear, they can serve as a wonderfully festive backdrop for decorations like fairy lights, gently woven within the slats to really give your window treatment a festive feeling! Plus, you can find any vintage linens you may have hiding around the home and hang those across the face of the shutters for some cheery Christmas décor.
Curtain decorations:
Nothing screams Christmas quite like the classic combination of red and green, so add a pop of that festive vibe to your window treatments! Red ribbon and faux greenery when wrapped around curtains really give any room a burst of colour along with that traditional Christmas charm. To top things off, drape some fairy lights over your window frame and not only will they look incredible, the neighbours might get a bit jealous when they stroll on by!
DIY inspiration:
Your decorations will not only be a hit with your guests but a great way to save some money whilst creating something unique. A simple way to thank your ‘Christmas card list’ for another year of keeping you in their thoughts, is a Christmas card garland! Make the most of twine and some mini clothing pegs for a season-appropriate rustic look and feel.
A citrus garland couldn’t be easier to throw together and adds a real zesty summer Christmas vibe to any space. It’s as simple as stringing together some dried orange slices on a length of twine, hang it across your window and wait for the compliments to roll on in!
Don’t forget the power of foraging! There are bits and pieces to be found on your next hike or bushwalk that can give your Christmas decorating a native feel. Gumnuts and native flowers can last for as long as you’d like your decorations to remain displayed. It also helps to add a truly natural Australian touch to your Christmas. Just check them for bugs!
