Christmas Decorating Ideas In Coastal Regions
No Snow? No problem, you still can enjoy your holiday seasons and feel the joy with your lovely, your families, or friends. Just apply these ideas and feel the joy of christmas.
1. Dazzle Up Your Dining Room
Forgo the traditional red and green and go glam this holiday. The owners of this West Palm Beach, Florida, home brought in shimmering holiday accents to their dining room table, which go perfectly with the white and soft green color palette.
2. Add Graphic Punch
Classic holiday colors look fabulous next to punchy nautical hues. Kick the festive atmosphere up a notch with candy red throw pillows, a red-striped rug, and adorable miniature potted Christmas trees.
3. Shift Traditional Shapes
Have fun with traditional holiday shapes when adding accents to modern decor. In this seaside home, square-shaped greenery replaces traditional round wreaths for an updated, modern look, while also drawing attention to the spectacular view.
4. Beautify Your Balcony
This lovely dried magnolia garland adds the perfect touch of holiday cheer to this tropical locale. Tip: Use dried or artificial decorations for warm-weather destinations, especially if your garland sits in direct sunlight.
5. Opt for Simple Holiday Style
Going for a vintage Christmas feel? In a more rustic space, try using a natural palette with just a few hits of glint, like this dining room’s simple pine and magnolia wreaths, classic white floral arrangement, and distressed silver candlesticks.
6. Make a Beautiful Banister
This homeowner dressed her foyer’s banister with a lush garland of festive pine branches and Christmas stockings. Tip: Mixed pine garlands are a great choice for transitional spaces, like hallways, back entrances, and stairways, because they’re generally less expensive than other garlands, such as boxwood or magnolia.
7. Fake a White Christmas
For an ultra-modern look, ditch the old-school green tree in favor of an all-white artificial tree.
8. Light the Way
Paper luminaries are an inexpensive way to add holiday spirit to a home’s exterior, as well as shed additional light on snowy walkways. These homeowners used hot glue to attach lightweight starfish and shells to heavy-duty craft paper bags. Filled with sand and a single votive, these luminaries create a glowing front entrance.
9. Dress Your Table
Keep things easy. We absolutely love the metallic ornaments hung from this home’s dining room chandelier, as well as the homeowner’s creative starfish-themed centerpiece. Tip: For a creative and useful party gift, consider draping a bright wool scarf across the back of each chair.
10. Plant Your Tree
Try placing a miniature potted Christmas tree next to your front entrance. Guests will be ready for your festive holiday get-together before they even step inside!
11. Deck the Mantel
This dramatic display shimmers with holiday style. Using real or artificial paperwhite narcissus, secure plants in shiny galvanized tins and fill the top of each pot with textural Spanish moss. Display with gauzy fabric, glitter-dipped pinecones, and metallic ornaments to create an elegant, attention-grabbing display.
12. Wrap It Up
To give your gifts a nautical look, forgo the traditional red and green wrapping paper in favor of print paper that looks like old-school nautical maps. To make printed paper stand out under the tree, pair with less-expensive solid-colored papers in metallic gold and soft blues. Give all your gifts a finished look by tying bows made of wide satin ribbon.
13. Set a Sea-Inspired Table
Put away grandma’s traditional china and opt instead for plates in fun coastal colors. To add a touch of coastal, spray starfish and pinecones with metallic silver paint and scatter them along the table. Tip: The pinecones double as place card holders.
14. Go Au Naturel
Holiday decorating doesn't have to be all color, all the time, though. In this entryway, cute reindeer décor blends seamlessly with the dark wood chest, and echoes the natural feel of the driftwood mirror and basket for a calm, coastal feel.
