Tips for Decorating Walls in a Christmas Style

1. Front porch walls

Outdoor walls deserve some Christmas joy too! Give your friends, family, and holiday guests a heartfelt welcome with porch decorations that burst with festive cheer. Show off your holiday spirit with green wreaths, traditional wreaths, and hang up Christmas banners. Have a vintage cute picnic basket and a few thermoses ready to enjoy warm hot cocoa on a cold winter day.

2. Calendar

Count down to Christmas with a handmade calendar hanging on the wall. This DIY calendar is perfect for a rustic Christmas atmosphere, but you can customize it to fit any aesthetics. To recreate this look, choose a wooden Christmas sign with a frame and use hot glue to attach small buckets, cups, or jars. Add numbers and fill the compartments with Christmas treats for the family to enjoy as you count down the days until Santa Claus comes.

3. Elegant wreath decor

Wreaths aren’t just for doors. The wreath above is an elegant combination of traditional, classic Christmas and creates a stunning focal point above a work desk or fireplace. Instead of decorating the entire wreath with foliage, focus on the lower half for a modern holiday look. Evergreen foliage is a timeless Christmas gift, but instead, you can mix it up with the trendy pink color.

4. Bedside wreath

Typically, the bedroom is not the first room you decorate for the holiday, but that doesn’t mean you should skimp on Christmas decorations for this space. Add some festivity to your room with a series of wreaths artfully hung with invisible thread to create a headboard frame. Decorate them with small green branches and plump red berries for an elegant look. Stack the bedside with sparkling fairy lights, light a scented Christmas candle, and prepare for a cozy, enchanting evening.

5. Linen wall art

No one would guess that this stunning Christmas wall art is made from old scarves. To make it, flatten or iron striped linen scarves or pieces of fabric and place them in a recycled picture frame. A variety of shapes and sizes will help create an eye-catching collage above the fireplace or on the kitchen wall. If you’re looking for a smaller-scale decorating idea, you can create a similar look with old Christmas cards to assemble festive picture frames.

6. Budget-friendly wreath

Trimming the cost of holiday decor doesn’t mean leaving the walls blank. You don’t have to splurge on store-bought Christmas wall decor to create a stunning wall. This budget-friendly wreath decor only requires three materials: A pack of multi-colored balloons, metallic wrapping paper, and a piece of string. Hang it on a blank wall or display it above the fireplace.

7. Unconventional Christmas wall art

No corner is left undecorated this season, including the tricky space under the stairs. Add a touch of excitement to a small space without making it cluttered by adding a simple framed sign that fits the space. Wall art is not only easier to store than wreaths and small cumbersome figurines but you can also keep it up year-round by swapping out the art in the frame to fit each different season.

8. Unexpected Christmas wreaths

If the walls are already in use, consider adding some festive decor. A wreath tied with red ribbon makes a lovely addition to this monochromatic artwork. You can do this with any mirror, window, or frame in your home or simply hang some greenery right on the frame if you don’t want to remove it for securing the ribbon.

9. Rustic wreath

A simple wreath is an easy way to add color to a living space. You can turn this wreath from rustic to glamorous by spraying a quick coat of metallic paint on the pine cones. These simple wreaths look beautiful hanging on walls, framing doorways, or hanging on shelves.

Memories of the bygone Tet holiday

My hometown is located near the southern region, next to the old Tan De ferry.

The first year celebrated Tet at my husband’s house, mom said a sentence that I will never forget

That was the first year I became a daughter-in-law and celebrated Tet at my husband’s house. Until now, when I recall, all the emotions remain as vivid as ever.

’14 years of indifference, this Tet, I want to make amends’

After 14 years of marriage, I only celebrated Tet at my father-in-law’s house once. After that, due to conflicts, I became stubborn and never went again.
