How can I decorate my home for Christmas?
There are countless ways of creating an atmospheric look at Christmas. You can even combine different styles for your own individual effect. For a harmonious look, however, it’s wise to opt for a theme that carries through into each room.

Ideas for your living room
For a festive feel in your living room, carefully arranged candles and hurricane lamps are a traditional choice. The tried-and-tested way to create a cosy and cheerful Christmas mood in any living room. But take care: less is often more when it comes to modern Christmas decorations. In many cases, the mere presence of an eye-catching feature – a sophisticated candlestick, for example – will create a captivating lighting effect.
With a selection of Christmas decorations, such as understated hurricane lamps, individual candles and shimmering stars, it’s very easy to add some holiday spirit to a window ledge. You can also add a touch of Christmas magic to your window: simply hang up some small bells or figurines, or create a lovely soft glow with dreamy fairy lights. If you’re looking for something a little more classic, go for a modern twist on traditional Christmas style with the stunning Christmas decorations from Villeroy & Boch.

Decorate the Christmas tree in a modern way
Many people are now adorning their Christmas tree with modern decorations. Here, modern typically means chic and understated. Decorating the Christmas tree – fresh ideas for a modern touch:
Minimalism is in vogue: If you prefer a simple look, adorn your Christmas tree with lovely fairy lights and ditch the other baubles or ornaments. This will let your tree make its own bold statement.
Ideal for purists: Christmas tree ornaments come in a vast array of colours. Opt for a single shade – white, for example – to give your tree a touch of timeless elegance.
Geometric shapes: swap showy baubles for delicately crafted geometric ornaments to lend your Christmas tree a contemporary vibe.
Beautiful naturally-sourced materials: If you’d like to give your Christmas tree a natural, rustic look, explore the great outdoors to find the perfect "ingredients" for your Christmas decor! Wooden ornaments go beautifully with a Christmas tree, or use fabric garlands and real fir cones in place of tinsel. For a small Christmas tree, opt for modern decorations made from paper and cardboard.
Modern table decorations
Make a statement at any festive meal
The dining table should also be a feast for our eyes and especially at Christmas. And, from timeless to trendy, there are endless ideas for your Christmas table decorations.
There’s no shortage of creative options for on-trend Christmas table decorations. Villeroy & Boch’s enchanting Christmas porcelain will lend some vibrant colourful accents to your festive meals. Add cutlery sleeves or napkin rings adorned with a festive design to make your Christmas table shine. A modern Advent wreath in the centre of the table will make a striking focal point. For an extra touch of festive flourish, pair white porcelain pieces from the Toys Delight Royal Classic collection with matt textured-porcelain ornaments from the slate-look Manufacture collection.
Tip
Turn your Christmas table decoration into a showstopper with a DIY festive floral arrangement. It doesn’t need to be anything complicated. For example, a hand-crafted Advent wreath made from fir sprigs, candles and festive decorations will be a charming addition to any Christmas table. Add a contemporary touch with the Toy's Delight king's cake plate, which doubles as a great base for your Christmas table decorations.
What are the biggest Christmas trends?
There are so many great Christmas decoration ideas – from classic to rustic and minimalist. However, the current trend for Christmas decorations leans heavily towards natural materials. Modern Christmas decorations also tend to follow a specific colour scheme. Alongside the traditional Christmas shades of gold and red, earthy tones are highly popular. Most important of all, however, is to cultivate a warm and cosy atmosphere.
Christmas Season with a Scandinavian theme
Nobody does a stylishly relaxed and cosy look better than the Danish and Norwegians! And Scandinavian-inspired Christmas decorations are the perfect choice if you want to add “hyggelig” cosiness while keeping things modern at Christmas. The Scandi look is defined by its simplicity and elegance, featuring clean-cut graphic shapes.
The Scandinavian lifestyle has influenced our Christmas decorations this year too. The perfect blend of contemporary flair and simplicity with a touch of nostalgia.
Sustainable Christmas decorations made from natural materials
This year, the emphasis is on using natural materials to quickly create your own on-trend Christmas decorations. With a little skill and imagination, you can turn paper, pampas grass or wood into eco-friendly Christmas decorations that will add a delightfully cosy feel to your home. Villeroy & Boch’s stunning Christmas tree baubles are another sustainable choice, as they can be passed down the generations and enjoyed for years to come. Tip: If you’re looking for Christmas decoration ideas for outside your home, DIY Christmas decorations crafted from natural materials are a great way to add some contemporary charm to your front door!
