JAKARTA - Preparing house decorations for Christmas is a fun thing. But often because too many ideas and desires make you confused and use all existing references. This can cause home decorations to be without the theme and excessive.

Launching from The Spruce, Tuesday, December 17, before decorating the house with the Christmas theme, you should make a careful plan first. According to Sylvia James, a designer from Home How, you are often carried away while decorating the whole house, so shopping for decorations is too much. For this reason, here are the mistakes that you should avoid when you are about to dry up your house for Christmas Day.

When choosing how to decorate a house for Christmas, color plays an important role. According to Sylvia, nothing can damage the holiday atmosphere other than color competition to get attention.

Red and green can produce a miracle if balanced, but if combined with neon, silver, and gold pink colors, you have created visual arguments," he said.

Even so, it doesn't mean you can't have a colorful space or only be limited to red and green. There are many unique holiday color schemes that you can enter into the house. The key is to choose a rota that complements the house in a balanced manner.

Christmas decorations are often decorated with knick-knacks made of plastic. So it's very tempting to hoard them. However, it's important to know what's on display, because these items can bring mass-produced plastic energy to the house.

Choose natural ingredients such as wood, glass, or metal to ground your holiday aesthetics, Sylvia recommends.

Natural ingredients can help you feel grounded as well as add a clear texture and dimension to the room. For example, combining original cypress flower bouquets, pine fruit, and dry fruit slices can create a rural feel that uses less plastic and more sustainable.

Holiday decorations can be a way that is fun expressing yourself, especially with so many styles and crafts available. While you may be tempted to decode many things, it would be nice if you were wiser.

"Mixing too many themes can confuse the energy in the room, making it feel messy," said Sylvia.

He suggests consistently creating clarity, which can help relieve the stress of the holiday season. Try using one theme, but don't be afraid to add a little personalization to suit your space and preferences.

To decorate the house, you should make a plan first. In this way, it will be easier for you to choose the color and decoration design that you have to buy. According to Sylvia, you can go around the house to see areas that require decoration, determine what big themes and colors you use.

It's no secret that lighting can create or destroy a space. Vacations provide many opportunities to lighten the atmosphere to be more excited, from lighting a Christmas tree to lighting candles,

Sylivia warned that some decoration trends pushed people too far in one direction. For example, too little light creates a gloomy atmosphere, while too many LED lights flickering results in more carnival atmospheres. Sylivia recommends coated lighting such as candles, light, and warm light to organize a warm atmosphere and create a pleasant energy that keeps the atmosphere comfortable and festive.

Christmas will feel warm if you add a personal touch to home decorations. Such as socks with the knit of your name and family members, nostalgic photos that are hung on Christmas trees, and decoration items that you might be able to bring down from generation to generation.
