2) Christmas Stockings
Old St. Nick is sure to be impressed if you decide to add a few Christmas stockings to your ABI living room decoration. Not only can they be the finishing touch for your family space, but they also add to the Christmas excitement for the kids. Depending on if your children have been naughty or nice… what will you be hiding in their stocking?
3) Christmas tree
Possibly the most important ornament… a Christmas tree will transform your cosy ABI living room into a winter wonderland. Opt for a smaller tree to take centre stage and minimise space restrictions. They also come in a variety of shades, so you can have whatever Christmas colour your heart desires!
4) Vintage Ornaments
Christmas is a celebration of tradition and family, so what better way to add that familiar touch than by using some of your old ornaments? Take a trip down memory lane and add a few vintage decorations to your holiday home. They’re also a great talking point to any guests you might have round!
5) DIY Decorations
If you are looking to add a personal touch to your ABI whilst entertaining the kids, do-it-yourself decorations are a great idea! Simple ideas include getting outside and collecting a few pinecones or folding and cutting paper into snowflakes. Try this step by step guide from The National Trust to create your own. The possibilities are endless…
6) Aromas
Last but not least, a great finishing touch for an ABI holiday home is the sweet smell of Christmas time. There are so many delicious scents to choose from whether you prefer cinnamon, citrus or candy canes. Light a few festive candles to create a cosy Christmas atmosphere!
