Formal And Simple Christmas Decorating Idea

Formal and simple Christmas decorating idea that will add some eloquence to your holiday decor. This is the second week of simple weekly Christmas decorating ideas for you. The first week showed you an easy informal and country look. Each week will bring you different aspects of holiday decorating. From tree trimming, formal and informal Christmas decorations, to place setting, and create a total festive and holiday atmosphere.

Both of these decorations were done on an end table. You can use other different accents to display your Christmas collectables. This formal look is done by putting a green, in a slightly sage tone table cloth over the end table. I like to make sure the table cloth covers the entire end table.

There are five figurines on the end table. They are from a collection of porcelain figurines my sister from Ohio has sent me over the years. Three different size Christmas trees with bells on them, and two carolers. Notice how I have five, which is a odd number. Each of the porcelain figures have a touch of gold on them. They also have red and green secondary accent colors, which really gives you the holiday colors.

I took gold garland and put miniature white lights with the garland. This blends in the figurines with the garland. The white lights adds to this style look of this simple Christmas decorating. The white lights also compliment the white porcelain, which creates that rich and formal look.

Eloquent Glass Candle Holders and Porcelin Collectables

This picture shows you a little different idea. I used the same tablecloth but took three glass candle holders and formed them into a triangle. On either side, I added a couple of white porcelain sleds with bears in them. Once again the sleds have a touch of gold in them, and also a couple of gold bells. I kept the gold garland and miniature white lights. One of the candle holders has a red rim around the base. One a green, and one a gold. Definitely Christmas colors. Five different items creating another dynamic look.

As far as decorating with a formal flare, there are other ways to create this look. Gold can definitely be a formal color. White ribbons and decorative bows with gold and green looks delightful. Garland is optional, and you can use fresh or artificial greenery. I personally like the miniature white lights with a formal look, but use your own personality to create a simple Christmas or holiday decoration. Think about any collectables you may have. Do you want to create a rich and sophisticated atmosphere or are you looking for a more informal theme?

When decorating at Christmas or seasonal holidays, you also have the option of using both informal and eloquent decor. I like to do both. If your living space lends to an eloquent look, continue your holiday decorating with the same flare.

Another option is to have a rich appearance in one room, and create a country or fun look in another room. The main objective in holiday decorating is the same as any interior project, balance and blend color tones to create a relaxing and enjoyable interior space.

These two simple Christmas decorating ideas can be done in a short period of time. Do be careful when putting your garland with the lights around your figurines. I have had to glue a few of them from time to time. I hope this page has gotten your decorative juices flowing for Christmas and the upcoming holiday season.
