Decoration is a crucial aspect of any festive season. Surely, one would find a thematically decorated space to set the mood better than a normal, everyday space. Let’s take birthdays for example. If you step into a regular room, you would think nothing of it. But if the room were to be decorated with balloons, you’d think “Oh? Is there a birthday going on here?”. Decorations are important to create and curate a specific atmosphere for what you are celebrating.
December is approaching, which only means one thing – the jolly holiday of Christmas is coming. And what is Christmas without all the classic Christmas decorations that remind everyone of the festive season? A big Christmas tree, adorned with all the Christmas-y ornaments. Elaborate wreaths that spruce up the space, and traditional Christmas colours that decorate every corner of the room. Going all out for Christmas decorations can certainly induce the space with the festive spirit, in addition to adding visual appeal and creating the perfect setting to immortalise the occasion with plenty of photos.
Christmas Trees
No Christmas celebration is complete without a Christmas tree. Christmas tree shopping, Christmas tree decorating; all things related to Christmas trees have become a deep-rooted Christmas tradition for many Christian families. Christmas trees have the ability to significantly transform a space. A big, vibrant tree can serve as a focal point and instantly fill the room with a festive atmosphere.
Choosing the perfect Christmas tree can be a challenge. But ultimately, just choose whichever is right for your home. For taller ceilings, a nice 7ft tree could do the trick. If you have slightly shorter ceilings, then choose a shorter tree. Then, there is the dilemma of choosing between a real or artificial tree.
Floristika has a selection of quality fir trees, and they can be delivered right to your doorstep. These live trees are not only a sight to behold, but they can also fill the space with the sweet, piney and woody scents of Christmas.
If real, live trees are too much of a hassle, consider getting an artificial tree. Artificial Christmas trees are easy to set up. It does not need maintenance like a live tree would, and it can also be just as vibrant as a real tree. Additionally, it is less of a safety hazard.
Spotlight offers a wide range of artificial Christmas trees. You can even add a fun touch to your Christmas decorations by choosing a fun-coloured Christmas tree instead of a traditional-looking one.
Christmas Ornaments
Now that you’ve got a Christmas tree, you can’t leave it plain and empty. The next step is to adorn the tree with lovely Christmas ornaments, adding yet another layer to amp up the festive mood. If you’re looking to add a hint of elegance and exclusivity to your Christmas decorations, there are some luxury brands offering their own line of delightful ornaments.

Ralph Lauren also has its own selection of Christmas ornaments. If you’re a fan of the brand, these ornaments are a great option to hang on your trees this Christmas. The traditional red green and white colours would remind anyone of the festive season.
Christmas Trinkets
Adding cute little Christmas-themed trinkets around the room is a great way to add more character and holiday spirit. Placing these festive trinkets on the windowsills, atop fireplaces, or across the table can add more Christmas charm to the space. Whether it be a delicate snowglobe from Louis Vuitton, or a crystal Santa figurine from Swarovski – Christmas trinkets are amazing additions to spice up your Christmas decor.
The Smell of Christmas
Aside from visual aspects, scents also play an important role to transform and decorate a space. When it comes to Christmas, some scents have the power to instantly remind someone of the holiday. As the scents fill the air, so does the festive atmosphere. It could be the scent of freshly baked ginger goods, or the the sweet smell of hot cocoa wafting through the air.
One scent that is also associated with Christmas is a woody scent. This scent can be achieved through the use of live Christmas trees, but if that’s not an option, scented candles can also complete the job. This Bois des Rêves candle from Dior has a woody fragrance that is sure to enchant the room into a winter paradise.
Wreaths and Garlands
Wreaths and garlands are the unsung heroes of Christmas decor, adding a touch of festive magic to every corner of your home. A beautifully adorned wreath hung on the front door is like a warm invitation to step into a world of holiday cheer. And garlands can instantly breathe the essence of Christmas into any space they are placed in. Neiman Marcus offers a wide selection of wreaths and garlands. Most importantly, it ships to Malaysia, so you can rest assured.
