With Halloween firmly behind us, it’s time to start planning for the next big event of the season – Christmas! Soon, festive lights will be switched on, holiday songs will play out over your local radio station, and the preparations for Santa will be quickly underway. While some of us are still processing spooky season and working our way through any leftover Halloween sweets, others are quietly planning the ways to sneak some Xmas decorations into our homes. Being surrounded by seasonal ornaments, full-bodied garlands, and twinkling lights is one sure-fire way to get yourself and others into the holiday spirit. So, if you feel like it’s time to start decking those hauls, EZ Living Furniture has the perfect plan for you. In this blog, you’ll find 6 professional ways in which to decorate your home for Christmas – so, let’s get started!
1. Plan Your Holiday Theme
Choosing a holiday theme is a great starting point for Xmas decorating. This decision will give you a good sense of the colour scheme, textures, and elements you will be working with. The important thing here is to choose a theme that calls to you personally. Remember, you need to love the colours you choose because you could potentially be looking at them for many years to come, so don’t make this decision lightly. If you’re looking for ideas and inspiration, there are many places to find it, i.e. by reading our blog below, searching online, or browsing stores with professional Christmas displays.

2. Invest In A Quality Tree
A Christmas tree is an essential element of holiday decor, which is why it deserves its own section. High-quality artificial Christmas trees, like those found in EZ Living Furniture, are crafted from premium materials and feature a professional finish. It’s incredibly important to choose a tree made from durable materials because it means your tree will not only offer stable and reliable support for your decorations but also means it will stand up to repeated use year after year. A low-quality tree is instantly recognisable from its bare branches and gaps, and no matter how hard you try to fill those gaps with baubles, it will still look a little bit....meh.
Opt for a traditional Christmas tree style, rather than something that’s on trend. What’s popular now might not be in a few years' time. If you really want value for money, choose a tree with a blank canvas, and then add colour and texture with your baubles, clips, and sprays.
Pre-lit Christmas trees don’t necessarily represent a theme, so they aren’t at risk of going out of fashion. If you are someone who spends hours every year untangling and wrapping, we highly recommend investing in one of these.
3. Fluff & Shape Your Tree's Branches
Fluffing out the individual branches on your Christmas tree will make it appear fuller and more natural. While this might seem like a time-consuming task, the difference it makes means it’s worth it. The end result is a full-bodied tree that looks like it came straight out of a showroom.
To begin, separate each branch so they fan out to cover as much area as possible, and don’t be afraid to bend them in a certain way to fill in any gaps. The key to a professional-looking tree is to get the base right first. Many of us don’t spend enough time fluffing out our trees, and unfortunately, it shows, even when fully decorated.
4. Maximalism Is Key
The key to professional Christmas decor is making sure that there’s a festive element in every corner of the room. It should look like Christmas has exploded, but in the most elegant and magical way. Nothing is too much; just make sure you’re introducing complementary colours and varying textures to give the entire look real depth. Stick with the colours of your theme, remembering to balance your tree design and any foliage with it. Christmas wreaths, garlands, and ornaments are great ways to bring that festive feel into the home in a small but impactful way.
5. Have Fun & Be Creative
Just because something is labelled for a certain function, that doesn’t mean that it must be used for that and only that. A great example of this is a Christmas wreath. While typically, they’re found on doors, our professional team uses them and other items in fun and interesting ways. To create a professional-looking display, we suggest using your wreath in the centre of a dining table, or on a footstool (as pictured above).
Garlands are typically found on the bannister of a staircase, but again, they don’t have to be. They can be draped around a mirror, placed in the centre of the dining table, hung along a mantelpiece, or delicately placed along a console table in a hallway.
6. Don't Forget Those Finishing Touches
Soft furnishings such as cushions and throws make all the difference to the final look. It can be the difference between a lacklustre display and something truly magical. Small accessories are a great way to add colour and texture to a display. A professionally styled interior will always include both, but a great way to warm up a festive display is with knitted throws and furry, plush cushions. Not only will these small accessories add depth, but they are also great for snuggling up on in the evening when it gets a little chilly.
Your Christmas display in your living room, kitchen, or bedroom should now be looking like something straight out of a showroom. To shop our entire Christmas range, click here.
