Christmas is fast approaching, and it’s time to decorate your home for the big day! There are many ways to decorate your home for Christmas, inside and out. So, to ensure a successful decoration that you can repeat year after year, and that will delight the young and old, the Modern Gentleman has created for you an article with tips and top decorations for your Christmas decoration!
Decorating the interior of the house for Christmas
First, let’s look at the interior of the house. The secret of a nice decoration is that it is framed. Indeed, unless you particularly appreciate explosions of color, your decoration will be more modern and pretty if you limit yourself. Here are some examples of color combinations that will be perfect for Christmas:
- Red and Gold
- Red and Silver
- Red and White
- Gold and White
- Silver and White
- Silver and Blue
- White and Blue
Decorate your Christmas tree
When we talk about Christmas, one of the first things that come to mind in terms of decoration is the Christmas tree of course. This one can be more or less big, illuminated or not, natural or synthetic. It can even be a real tree, or a derivative (tree in bottles, mannequin tree…)
If you already have a tree, it’s perfect, you can go to the next step. If not, we have selected a few trees that, depending on your budget, will do very well.
We recommend this selection according to your budget:
- For the – 50$ we propose you the first tree, of 120 cm of height. This one must be unfolded and placed with care to be very bushy!
- For the – 100$, we propose you the second one, 180 cm high this time. This one will also have to be unfolded by you.
- Finally, for the -150$, we propose you an absolutely fairy tree. 180cm high and more than 120cm in diameter, this tree with snowy tips is particularly bushy and recommended by Internet users.
We will then have to decorate this tree, and for that, go to the garlands and baubles section! We started with a golden decoration for this article, but all the proposed decorations are available in other colors on Amazon, so go for it!
First of all, start by placing your garlands. We recommend thick and long garlands in order to buy as little as possible and still have a beautiful tree!
Then, spread out your Christmas ornaments. Be careful, the bigger the tree, the more you need. We suggest a set of 100 Christmas ornaments in golden tones, the advantage is that it includes several sizes and models, and several variations of the golden color, for a rich and varied decoration!
Finally, you can choose tree ornaments: flowers, snowflakes, bells, and more. Always in gold and white tones to respect a pretty decoration!
For even more magic, consider adding some Christmas gifts under the tree!
LED Christmas lights
How to celebrate Christmas without Christmas lights? They alone generate all the magic expected at Christmas, and that warm, subdued atmosphere we know.
The advantage of LED garlands is that they come in many shapes and colors. So, depending on your use, we have selected three types of garlands that we love:
Mini garlands with batteries (included) of two meters long, which you can run everywhere in the house: table runner, on or in objects, etc.
A garland available from ten meters to more than 20 meters long to go all over the house, for example: around the staircase railing or the mezzanine, along the edges and the walls…
A garland of 3 meters by 3 meters in the curtain, to be positioned in front of the windows, on the ceiling like a starry sky, or in many other ways!
Other Christmas decorations for your home
Of course, you have the option to complete your home’s interior Christmas decoration with several other accessories. These decorations can be made by hand, and even as a manual activity with children during vacations, for example:
- The creation of the table runner,
- Making wooden coasters
- The making of labels for the table placement
- And others can be purchased for an incredible effect. Among our favorite Christmas decorations for the interior, you will find :
- The set of 3 gifts in various sizes, features LEDs. Can be stacked or arranged as you wish for a significant visual effect!
- The legendary Christmas wreath to place on the front door, which you can buy only made of fir to decorate yourself, or already decorated (the one we offer is equipped with LEDs)
- For those who are more excited about the Christmas season, we suggest you buy a projector that can be used indoors or outdoors, and that simulates falling snowflakes.

Decorating for Christmas is also about the exterior of your home! What a joy to come home from work in the dark, and arrive at your home, illuminated by the warm Christmas lights.
