Pick a theme & colour scheme
Preparing your new home for Christmas begins with the exciting task of choosing a theme. This decision is an important one, as your chosen theme sets the stage for the Christmas atmosphere you create. With the wide array of decorations available, from colours to styles and textures, having a clear theme in mind can simplify the process and guide your decorating choices.
Additionally, matching your decorations with your new home’s decor and furnishings can create a sense of consistency, making your space more visually pleasing and inviting. It’s an opportunity to express your unique style and accentuate the charm of your dream home.
Consider the heavenly Hartford at our Roman Heights development. This stunning home exudes a timeless serenity, boasting a neutral colour palette that enhances its cosy atmosphere.
The Christmas decorations match this sophisticated interior, incorporating rich golds, browns, and a touch of metallic accents to enhance the warmth and elegance of this space. Gold is a timeless choice for the festive season and can be used year-round to elevate and complete a room’s design. The twinkling fairy lights, natural textures, and nuances of green and red introduce a traditional element, further amplifying a welcoming and cosy Christmas ambience.

There’s no better way to do this than by creating your DIY decorations. They’ll add a unique charm to your new home and create cherished memories with your loved ones as you work on them.

Cosy up
Now you’re all set up, it’s time to embrace the cosy side of Christmas. It’s all about adding the little touches that enhance the Christmas spirit and ensure your new home is warm and inviting for the celebrations.
Start by adding soft blankets to the ends of the couches. They’re perfect for staying warm and are easily accessible for Christmas movie nights in your new home. What’s even better is you can match these blankets to your decorations, ensuring a seamless aesthetic. Don’t forget to include some Christmas cushions for an extra touch of cheer.
Make use of lighting to enhance the ambience of your new abode. Light can transform a room in seconds, so it’s worth the investment. String fairy lights around your home, and introduce a few different warm-toned light sources to add a magical touch to your decorations. Additionally, candles are an excellent way to set a cosy and intimate atmosphere in your new home, and you can choose scents that resonate with the season, such as winter spices, cinnamon and gingerbread.
