For your Christmas, choose non-traditional decorations! Be inspired by these 16 proposals
It is customary to decorate one's home for the holidays in the classic green and red colors and the usual Christmas decorations. But what if, instead of doing this, you chose non-traditional alternatives this year? Even if they stray from the usual colors or classic elements, Christmas decorations always make for a good time.
Choose to reflect your personality with the decorations; it will be easy to match and integrate the ornaments with the furnishings, and your home will look and feel unique. Just as there is no single way to celebrate the holidays, our decorations don't have to be all the same either.
Use vintage items, alternative colors such as pink, blue, orange, jewel-like elements, and handmade decorations for a less ostentatious Christmas.
