Christmas is well and truly on the way and that means it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to decorate your home this year. This is a tradition that tends to bring friends and family together, and finding the perfect festive choices can help to transform each room into a magical, welcoming space full of Christmas cheer. 

In this guide, we’ll look at the key areas to decorate for a festive home this year, as well as some of the festive touches you can add to help you take your home’s Christmas atmosphere to the next level.  


Key Areas to Decorate for a Festive Home

Decorating your home for Christmas doesn’t need to be difficult, but it can feel a little overwhelming if you’re not sure where to start. Thankfully, Angela Reed’s festive collection contains plenty of options to help you plan for each room.  


Living Room

The living room tends to be considered the heart of the home and is often the place where friends and family gather during Christmas. Therefore, it’s important to ensure the space feels festive, warm, and inviting by selecting a few simple decorations. 

For example, the Christmas tree is the centre of Christmas décor for most households and provides a perfect opportunity to show your personality. Whether you’d prefer to decorate your tree with classic but sophisticated Hand-Painted Baubles or would like to add a little fun to the occasion with a Santa on a Paddle Board, Angela Reed has got you covered.

You should also consider adding extra layers of warmth to your living room with pillows and throws. A great option here is the Forest Robin Cushion, which is not only comfortable but proudly displays a classic Christmas theme. 

Furthermore, if your Christmas tree is starting to look a little worse for wear, it could be time to upgrade. There are plenty of options available to suit all room sizes, but one of the best ways to make an impact without the need for too many additional decorations is a 1,500-lumens LED Christmas Tree. Notably, there are 750 and 1,000 Lumens alternatives if you’d prefer a softer, warmer option. 


Dining Room

The dining room is another popular place for friends and family to spend time together during the Christmas period. By adding a few thoughtful pieces of décor, you can create a festive dining experience that is both elegant and celebratory.

For example, an Enchanted Forest Table Runner can provide the perfect Christmas backdrop for your tableware. This features woodland creatures, plants, and berries, on a festive green background.  

If you’re planning to invite guests over for Christmas, you might want to consider investing in some new glassware. The Dartington Glass Set provides the perfect way to serve mulled wine, spiced cider, or soft drinks during special occasions. 


Entryway

The entryway is the first part of the home your guests see, so it provides a great opportunity to make a warm and festive impression. For example, a Faux Eucalyptus Blush Wreath provides a beautiful soft pink and green shade for the front door and can be used year after year. 

Another option here is to include festive lighting, which can bring a warm ambience to any space. The Winter Village Light Chain will help to set the festive tone in your entrance hall and can be placed around a mirror, picture, or even externally.


Festive Touches

Creating an incredible Christmas ambience doesn’t need to be a huge task. Simple festive additions can make all the difference without breaking the bank or taking up too much room. For example, nothing says Christmas more than a delicious wintery scent, so adding an Orange & Cinnamon Tin Candle could be the perfect addition to your home.  

Another interesting option here is a pack of Figgy Pudding Candles, which can be placed on the dining table or in the corners of rooms to add a festive background fragrance. The blend of fig, vanilla musk, zesty orange, and spicy cloves creates a scrumptious cosy atmosphere that will immediately put you in the festive mood. 

Don’t forget that Christmas cheer means something different to every family. This is an opportunity to get creative and sentimental, so don’t be afraid to add some unique items alongside your new pieces to add a personal touch. Some fantastic choices here include frames holiday photographs, cherished ornaments, or handmade decorations from previous years. These items add character and warmth, which helps to create a balance between new décor and family tradition.
