out yourself.
1. A garland over your doorway or stairway
Adorning the architrave of doorways, windows, or stairways is a great way to create an immediate impact for anyone coming into your home as it makes for a strong focal point
on entry.
Artificial flowers work really well to add colour and they last for the whole of Christmas, but your statement baubles are also essential to add a real pop of colour.

3. A jewel colour palette to set the tone
The bright Christmas trend is all about going bigger and bolder than before and there’s no better way to do this than changing up your colour palette to bring in more rich emeralds, vibrant magentas and jovial lime greens with artificial flowers, baubles, decorations and lights. They add a dash of flare and will really dazzle next to the lights, providing a welcome break from the normal combinations we see at Christmas year after year. For even more glam, bring metallics into the mix.
4. A smaller, more unique tree if space is scarce
When it comes to making a style statement with your tree, it doesn’t have to be big to be bold. The beauty of a maximalist-style tree is that it’s all about the colour and variety of decorations that you choose rather than the actual size of your potted fur, spruce, or pine. You could have a woolly Santa hat or glittering gold dinosaur as the crowning statement on your table-top tree, you could opt for a cascade of small light-up glass trees down your stairway, or as a fun alternative, you could decorate a cactus with plenty of colourful lights.
No matter what you’ve got planned for Christmas this year, it’s sure to be bright. Embrace the maximalism trend in your home with more bright colours, bold designs, and unique features than ever before.
Use garlands of faux foliage as the base and then decorate them with your own personal style touches. Bright, maximalism-style baubles, ribbons, and fairy lights will work best to bring the festivities into your home but if monochrome is more your style, you can make a statement with bold features in silver and black.
2. Bohemian bannisters to set the mood
Laying lots of colourful pieces with a mix of greenery will conjure an eclectic vibe and elicit a wonderfully natural festive scent, perhaps bringing something slightly different to your decorations this year. Entwine bannisters with garlands, weave lengths of battery-powered fairy lights and hang baubles alongside other cheerful decorations from them. On the stairs, you could display presents, crackers and paper decorations next to oversized nutcrackers for a playful touch.
