Traditional Christmas Decor
A Classic Christmas
Embracing Tradition in Christmas Design
As the season rolls around, I know most homes across the globe are decked in glitter and lights, but there's something truly magical about embracing the classics. This year, I've decided to delve into the heart of traditional Christmas aesthetics, using timeless elements in my home design that evoke the warm, nostalgic essence of the yuletide.
Red Rose Centerpieces: Elegance and FestivityThe dining area becomes a focal point with stunning centerpieces composed of beautiful red roses. These centerpieces, surrounded by sprigs of holly and evergreen, embody the essence of Christmas. The red roses bring an air of sophistication and elegance to the dining room setting. Their rich color contrasts exquisitely with the greenery and pale walls, creating a visual spectacle that has captivated our guests.
Orange Motifs: A Nod to the Old Days
Pomanders for Punch
I have always loved the bright citrus-infusion of oranges and clove as a lovely tradition in decor.
In the living room, the decor transitions to an orange motif, reminiscent of the olden days when drying oranges and using pomanders were cherished holiday traditions. This homage to the past brings with it a sense of warmth and continuity. The sight and scent of dried oranges mingled with cloves and cinnamon sticks not only add a sensory element but also helps anchor the room in a deeply historical context. This choice is about the simple joys of nature's gifts.
The Charm of the Red Bow

Classic Christmas carries itself into the bedroom, where a striking blue large ginger jar catches the eye. Topped with a vibrant red bow, is a simple, yet elegant, holiday addition that packs a lot of punch. This combination, rooted in a palette of deep blue and bold red, sets the tone for the home's festive ambiance. The blue ginger jar, an item often associated with timeless decor, gains a seasonal twist with the red bow.
This year's home design is more than just a stylistic choice; it's a journey through time, an embrace of the traditions that have shaped our celebrations. In a world that's constantly chasing the new, there's so much beauty in turning to the classics. This Christmas, as the red bow pops on the blue ginger jar and the scent of oranges fills the air, my home has felt like a haven of nostalgia, where the timeless spirit of Christmas is alive and well.
