Preparing for Christmas Decorating: Smart Tips for a Simple Holiday Setup

The Christmas season is synonymous with joy, warmth, and festive energy, and decorating your home is a great way to start celebrating. The living room often becomes the heart of the festivities, where families gather to watch movies, enjoy parties, or simply relax. To help you set up a cozy and magical atmosphere this season, we’ve compiled some easy Christmas decorating ideas for your living room. At BigMat Malta, we also have a Christmas shop stocked with everything you need to make decorating a breeze!

1. Infuse Natural Elements

An easy way to bring a festive feel to your living room is by incorporating nature-inspired decorations like **Christmas garlands**. A garland instantly adds a warm, holiday touch to any space. Drape it over your fireplace mantel or use it to frame doorways for a quick and festive transformation. For those who enjoy DIY projects, try making your own, or you can browse the selection of pre-made garlands at BigMat Malta to add that touch of nature.

2. Add a Luxurious Glow

For those looking for a more elegant holiday look, incorporating metallic accents like gold or silver into your decorations can elevate your space. Shimmering ornaments and tinsel give your living room a glamorous holiday feel. At BigMat Malta, we have a variety of glittery decorations that can help transform your home into a luxurious winter wonderland.

3. Optimal Placement of the Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree is the main attraction of any holiday décor. Whether you prefer a natural tree or an artificial one, selecting the right location is key. A corner in a small room can create a cozy feel, while placing the tree near a large window allows the decorations to shine both inside and outside. Don’t forget to position it near a power source for the twinkling lights. BigMat Malta has a range of Christmas trees and ornaments to suit any style, from traditional to contemporary.

4. Experiment with Color Themes

Who says Christmas has to be all about red and green? Try experimenting with different color schemes to bring a modern twist to your décor. For a cool wintery look, consider navy blue and teal, while soft pinks and berry hues can create a warmer, cozy atmosphere. Incorporating colorful wreaths or ornaments can add a bold touch to your holiday setup.

5. Keep It Simple

Sometimes, a few well-chosen decorations can make a bigger impact than overfilling the space. Swap out regular cushions for festive ones or scatter small holiday ornaments on shelves and mantels. Fairy lights along windows or around the mantel can create a soft, glowing ambiance. For smaller spaces, opt for compact decorations like candle holders or hanging ornaments that don’t take up much room. BigMat Malta has a great selection of minimalist yet impactful holiday pieces.

6. Classic Christmas Vibes

Many still love the nostalgic appeal of a traditional red and green color palette. Wooden ornaments, pinecones, mistletoe, and dried fruit arrangements evoke that classic Christmas magic. Rustic pieces like nutcrackers or stockings, along with a red-berry wreath, can give your living room a traditional yet festive look.
