Christmas decoration ideas

 

I noticed lately, that a lot of my blogger colleagues posted about their Christmas decoration and shared the most gorgeous inspirational images!

Next weekend I will try to decorate our home for Christmas and the images I filed will definitely help me with it.

I decided to share them with you today and I do hope that some of them will also inspire you.

Enjoy !

And what about the decoration at the outside of the house ??!!

I have always loved the way Axel Vervoordt decorated the entrance of his castle with guirlandes. I might think to try this as well at the frontdoor of our house.

  1. Nou en of, ik kan mij niet voorstellen dat er iemand is die uit niet één foto hier haar inspiratie vandaan haalt. Ik vind het prachtig hoor, vooral de sobere plaatjes...die trekken mij het meest!

    Lieve groet, Ingrid

  2. Greet !
    Il faut que je sorte mes décorations... J'aime bien les couronnes en buis ! Et aussi le cercle avec la bougie devant la fenêtre !
    Oui quand c'est simple et sobre c'est beau !
    Bonne soirée !

  6. Lovely images, Greet. My Christmas decorating is always on the simple side - mostly greens and candles. I quickly grow tired of anything too elaborate - I also like to refresh and change things a little during the month. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead!
    xo,

  7. Greet!
    I love these wonderful images of great inspiration. It's been 77 degrees (Fahrenheit) here and hard to get motivated. I will certainly incorporate some of these in my home.
    All the best to you for a wonderful Christmas season!

  11. Just wanted to let you know that the gypsophila balls image, which is credited as "pinterest" for the source is actually by the very talented Melbourne floral studio, Cecilia Fox. They posted it on their blog. http://www.ceciliafox.com.au/blog/

    Sorry to sound grumpy, but it is distressing to see how creative types do not get the correct credit for their work. I'm sure as a decorator yourself, you would suffer the same fate, I imagine.

    And on a happier note, there are some wonderful inspirations in your collection. I love the old basket of greens and fairy lights.

  18. Of course I was inspired! I actually was considering making the chandelier drops for my windows but as I do need to open them, I am afraid they will leave scratches. :( And I am also thinking of going a different way this Christmas for the tree too...As for Monika's reindeer hides, I can't afford them this year but wow are they beautiful! And for me it is good that they are making use of the hide as the animal was taken for its meat. Maybe next year!

    I saw my dear friend Virginia's comment (Glamour Drops)--trust me, she is not cranky! :)
    Hoping you are all well up in Belgium. I am wondering if you have snow yet? I am hoping we will have a little in Provence this year...
    Gros Bisous,

  20. Dear Greet,

    This is like a Mecca of Christmas - if I may use that contradiction! :)
    So many wonderful and festive ideas to take in and dwell on.
    I too am holding off on my holiday decor until next week as I like it to feel and look fresh for the actual Christmas days.

    Sweden is wrapped in a thick blanket of snow and it just keeps on pouring down. It looks divine and puts us all in a Christmassy mood!

    Lots of love

  23. Hello dearest Greet,
    Your inspiration is gorgeous, but I know your own creations are going to be equally fabulous! I cannot wait to see it. :) I'm serious I know it will be well worth seeing. I have loved seeing and using the natural elements such as pinecones and branches of all sorts.
    Love and hugs, Cindy

  24. Thank you for all this information. It is so important to know what kind of food we are feeding our pets
    because it will determine how happy and healthy they will be and how long we will be able to enjoy their company.

  28. There is nothing to think about the factor about the services available. Anytime you can ask for the services needed and the representatives will provide you with whatever you want. Some services will be provided to without any manual requires and some others can be asked to be provided. So assisted living Sun Valley can be a very good option to be selected.
