Christmas decorations of a traditional nature are inviting and warm, yet those wooden reindeer, candy canes and felt stockings, may not be a good match for your house if you are a fan of modern-day design.Modernists, take heed! We have put together a few uniquely modern-day ideas for Christmas decorating for a contemporary house. We have skipped those cliches in favor of what is trending, new, or just irresistibly cool. Prepared to be inspired? Below are a few modern ideas for Christmas decorating:White and Black
White and black is a graphic, crisp combination. So why not change the color combination for Christmas? Santa is going to be perfectly accentuated within his red suit coming down your chimney into a white-and-black holiday wonderland.Feathers and Birds
Feathers are just like the first snow of winter: fluffy and pure. Add a modernized twist to your holiday decorating by using whimsical owls or birds, or feather wreaths, topiaries or ornaments. If you already own a feather collection, use these to fill up clear glass balls for a special display.Succulents
A living succulent is low maintenance, earth-friendly, and a great modern idea for Christmas decorating. Arrange some in a centerpiece, or you can go big with a garland or succulent wreath; however you utilize these low-water, hardy plants, you may appreciate them long after the holidays are over.Modernized Wreaths
Wreaths might be classic Christmas decorations, yet today’s versions provide more than pine cones and greenery. It’s possible to use an innovative, modern wreath:
- On the front door
- Inside a window
- Over your mantel
- As the centerpiece
- Around a circle of candles
An additional bonus includes their versatility. Add components like oversized ribbon or small objects to alter the look of a wreath.Pine Branches
The fine quality of a pine needle creates a modern, fresh appearance. Keep the pine display minimal by utilizing small lights and ornaments that accentuate the beauty of the texture of the pine. Utilize silver pine in Christmas decorating; it is a particularly contemporary-appearing species of pine, well-known for its gorgeous silvery-sage shade.Lights
Lights always have been that go-to Christmas tree decor. However, the most recent LED fixtures and string lights illuminate objects and rooms in a whole new way. Go big with the light show; the more used, the cooler the effect will be.Snowflakes
Today’s stylish snowflake decorations will add a modern appearance to any room. For maximal impact, hang them in different sizes and heights to resemble falling snow.We hope our modernized ideas for Christmas decorating inspired you. How are you going to make your contemporary house more decorative this season?
