Christmas decoration ideas
For a traditional Christmas
Year after year, people decorate their homes during the Christmas month of December - sometimes modern and sometimes nostalgic. We present the most beautiful Christmas decoration ideas for a nostalgic Christmas and explain how everyone can make their own Christmas decorations and decorate their living room for Christmas.
Ring in the Christmas season with traditional Advent decorations
The Advent calendar and the Advent wreath are the first Christmas decorations with which we traditionally get in the mood for the upcoming Christmas celebrations.
Advent calendars are popular Advent gifts for young and old. An Advent calendar can be given a personal touch if you design it yourself and decorate it with high-quality Christmas figurines from Villeroy & Boch, for example. It's quicker with the Villeroy & Boch Christmas Toys Memory Advent calendar set. The set includes an Advent calendar with small porcelain figurines and a decorative tree with space for all 24 figurines.
Self-designed Advent wreath
The classic Advent wreath consists of fir greenery and four pillar candles, which we light on the four Sundays of Advent. These can be tastefully arranged on an elegant white bowl or plate from the Villeroy & Boch NewMoon collection, for example. The serving plate from the Manufacture Rock collection is ideal for creating a square Advent wreath.
Classic Christmas
Setting the scene at the table
When we decorate our Christmas table, we don't want to do without high-quality Christmas tableware - whether in classic red and green or all white. Depending on taste, the Christmas tableware for your own festive table can be put together individually from plates, cups, tureens, bowls and many other elements. Add atmospheric lights and baubles to create an elegant table decoration for Christmas.
Tip:
Why not create a beautiful Advent decoration from Christmas tableware? The Toy's Delight La Boule Christmas tableware set is perfect for this. It is the perfect tableware set for two people, but can also be put together to form a stylish ball in no time at all, making it a beautiful eye-catcher.
A door wreath is a popular Christmas decoration for the front door. With Christmas tree baubles in different sizes and colors, you can create a sparkling Christmas wreath for the front door in no time at all. The balls are simply attached to a metal blank with wire. Alternatively, if you love the minimalist, natural style, you can make a beautiful Christmas decoration with pine cones or a few branches of conifers, rosehip bushes and eucalyptus for outside.
Conjure up a festive atmosphere with the right lighting
Today there are countless decoration ideas for Christmas. What no Christmas decoration should be without is a soft light. In addition to floor and table lamps, fairy lights and candles also provide atmospheric lighting.
Fairy lights make the Christmas tree shine in different colors, but also create a cozy atmosphere in other areas of the home. Mounted at the window or on the wall, they create a soft, indirect light.
What could be nicer than sitting together with the family by candlelight during the Advent season? Pretty lanterns and handmade candles from Villeroy & Boch create a cozy atmosphere and are indispensable must-haves during the Christmas season.
Make your own nostalgic Christmas decorations
Do you also have fond memories of previous Christmas celebrations? Everything was festively decorated, it smelled of freshly baked cookies and large baubles or tinsel angels were hanging from the Christmas tree. The vintage look brings this nostalgia back to the present. With skill and a few natural materials, anyone can make a beautiful, rustic Christmas decoration themselves.
If you want to make your Christmas decorations nostalgic, you have various options. An absolute must is a real Christmas tree made of fir, spruce or pine, traditionally decorated with glittering Christmas baubles, pretty tree ornaments and tinsel. Old cushions and blankets as well as handicrafts just like grandma's round off the vintage Christmas decorations.
Christmas decorations in a nostalgic style can also be modern. It is characterized by clear colors and natural materials. A great idea, for example, is an arrangement of nuts, pine cones and twigs in a vase or glass. Alternatively, you can use nuts or cones made of glass, metal or porcelain. These look particularly elegant. Instead of a real Christmas tree, a glowing tree made of plastic, wood or paper decorates the living room.
