Chic, elegant and minimalist interior and exterior Christmas decoration idea ?
Fairy lights, Christmas balls, table decorations … You know very well that at Christmas, we tend to dare to go for kitsch decoration. This year, we suggest you do things differently. Opt for a minimalist and chic Christmas decoration! Switch up some classic red, green, white and gold and dare something different this year. Instead of overloading your interior with many objects, we advise you to stay modern in your choice. Choose some decorative objects and highlight them.
The minimalist style is one of the most popular design styles right now. Simple and accessible, it is indeed inspired by Scandinavian design. The latter isn’t always minimalist, but it tends to be. It’s the same with decoration – we bet on minimalist Christmas decor ideas. Kitsch is not very fashionable anymore. Here is why in this publication, we have specially selected Christmas decoration ideas in a clean and simple style. Their realization is very simple and accessible to all.
Christmas tree decoration idea: you are more natural or alternative tree ?
The tree is an essential symbol for the Christmas party. Young and old, everyone adores her perfume and her beautiful face. You can opt for a classic Christmas tree decoration or go modern and opt for a minimalist decoration. We like the idea of decorating the tree in a single color or with a single object. A light garland, a star or a few Christmas balls …
Do you like the idea of an alternative tree below? It is very easy to achieve it. You will need some sort of reclaimed wood panel or some cardboard, nails and wool. First you will need to fix the nails with a hammer as shown in the photo. Then you take the wool and the rest you can easily guess. This idea is also ideal as a Christmas present.
And another very easy alternative Christmas tree idea …
If you don’t want to deprive yourself of the pleasure of having a real tree at home, we advise you to buy a pot. You don’t have a balcony or terrace where it exits? It does not matter ! Take it out to your window when you’re not at home. The holiday season is over, you will then have to plant your little tree in the forest.
The alternative tree is not only more environmentally friendly, but also economical because it will last a long time. Artificial trees are not always highly recommended because their lifespan is 2 to 3 years. In short, it all depends on how you keep it of course. One thing is certain, the aesthetics of artificial trees are formidable. It is better to opt for an alternative tree made from another material: books, wood, wall stickers, tree branches… The possibilities are endless. Simply recreate the cone shape of the tree using any objects. We also like the idea of using a houseplant instead of the tree. The latter (in a pot) likes a cold climate and is likely to bloom quickly if grown indoors.
Christmas table decoration: some original ideas for a beautiful modern Christmas table
At Christmas, we all meet around a nicely decorated table to share a delicious and warm meal. We put a special tablecloth and candles. Usually, we pay special attention to the centerpiece. A candle or a beautiful arrangement of pine cones and decorative items in a basket – it all depends on the size of your table and what you want. The most important decoration of your table is meals and drinks! We love the mini tree decoration on the cake below. It is very fresh and original !
Outdoor Christmas decoration idea for balcony, terrace and garden
Do you have a balcony, terrace or garden? What luck ! Have you ever thought about which Christmas decoration to choose for your outdoor space? We have a few ideas for you. First, start by decorating your door or gate. Usually, the classic Christmas decoration in this case is a wreath. The crown is something very festive in itself. We wear it for Easter, Halloween and Christmas. It is also very easy to make yourself. You just need to have a cylindrical base of some sort and the rest is up to you how to do it. You can use pine cones, acorns, branches, fabrics, paper, recycled objects… Anything you want and you have it close at hand. It is better to recycle what you already have at home instead of buying new items.
Wreath and garland to decorate the veranda: a great classic !
We like this model of Christmas wreath made with balls.
Do you like to sew? It is then possible to make the fabric crown below! You can do it by hand, but it can be a tedious activity. We advise you to use a sewing machine for its realization.
A Christmas decoration all in white? We say yes! White, just like black, has always been considered chic. We love the idea of betting on a white Christmas decoration.
Once you have chosen the decoration of your front door, all you have to do is add a few decorative items to your exterior. We put on fairy lights – festive, magical and practical. Fairy lights decorate and illuminate your outdoor space at the same time. Our regular readers know we love them very much and we don’t hesitate to put them everywhere. The Christmas party is the perfect time of the year to rediscover their chic side.
And for your veranda or balcony, consider installing cushions with funny patterns and warm blankets. Do you also have an outdoor fireplace? What luck ! Decorate it and design a cozy and cozy little outdoor space. It is really very pleasant to watch the snow fall while enjoying a tea or a hot chocolate while sitting in front of its outdoor fireplace – alone or in company..
Our house exterior is the calling card of our interior. Before you start decorating your home interior, think about your exterior first. A beautiful exterior nicely decorated in the spirit of Christmas will make the atmosphere of the whole house more warm, cocoon and special.
Who says the Christmas tree has to be big? ?
It is true: having a large majestic Christmas tree at home is a pleasure for young and old. Unfortunately, it’s not very environmentally friendly and not always suitable for small home interiors. If you live in a small living space, we recommend that you choose a small Christmas tree (natural or artificial). There is something very special about small objects… We really like this Christmas decoration idea with tiny woolen trees. You can put them anywhere you want in any room of your house.
The small wooden tree below is not only very stylish, but also economical. Its shelf life is indefinite – it all depends on how you store it. This little tree is the ideal illustration of what we call “modern Christmas decoration”.
And even smaller and cute wooden trees – adorable ! 
And for those who like minimalist design, the alternative tree idea below will definitely appeal to them. This “tree” was made with wall stickers (adhesive tape) in black. Subsequently, these creators had the idea of adding a light garland to it. Very stylish !
IKEA offers us a Swedish-inspired Christmas decoration idea with an alternative tree, light garland and baubles – very chic ! 
And an alternative plywood tree, that tells you ?
Simple and elegant, the alternative Christmas tree is our favorite of the entire selection presented here !
Make a wall mounted Christmas tree with pictures of your family and friends – here’s a really warm idea! It is enough to fix them to the wall with the paste to fix as it was done in the photo below. It’s up to you to choose how many photos to put.
The alternative tree below is very funny. As you can see the majority of alternative trees presented in our publication, were designed in wood.
Those who love LEGO will probably appreciate the Christmas bauble ideas in the photo below..
Christmas decoration idea with pine cones that costs three times nothing …
We have already mentioned that pine cones can be used for many creative projects. Several publications have been devoted to this fall and winter subject. You just have to walk to the park next door or take a walk in the forest to find some. The pine cones are used to create wreaths, compositions, Christmas balls, funny characters and even they can be transformed into mini “Christmas tree”. Look :
Christmas garlands are only luminous …
Garlands are associated with festivities and special occasions. There is nothing simpler than decorating your home interior or exterior with a garland. Small or large, just as the wall stickers, the garland is a universal decorative solution. Making it a snap. You can use pine cones, paper, cardboard, fabrics, tree branches, scavenged objects and materials. We particularly like the garland made of the cardboard below representing small Christmas trees.
What to do with old Christmas balls ?
Thinking of throwing away your old Christmas balls? Wait ! Instead of throwing them away, you can repaint them and give them new life. You don’t have to stick to the classic Christmas color gamut (red, green, white, gold) at all. Experiment with colors and create unique Christmas baubles that you can even use after the party is over. We love the idea of coloring and decorating the Christmas balls below. Very artistic and chic, no ?
Cardboard is one of the easiest materials to handle. All you need is scissors and a little imagination to create beautiful decorative objects. This is the case of the cardboard Christmas trees below.
We also love the DIY Christmas balls in the photo below. They are ideal for an interior in gray and white.
Do you like the star in the photo below? U.S. too ! You can buy one online or at IKEA.
Do not hesitate to decorate all the rooms of your house, even the bathroom and the toilet.
Also think about decorating your kitchen – the Christmas spirit invades all the rooms and creates a very intimate warm atmosphere. 
Successful decoration is one that is not imposing or cumbersome. It is elegant, discreet and eye-catching at the same time. Try to think about this when you are designing your decoration.
