Wooden Christmas decorations: a "natural" way to decorate your home

Christmas is coming and the need to make our house look and feel welcoming, cute and ready for the holidays is pressing. There are many decorations you can use: you can buy them ready-made or have fun creating them yourself with DIY projects.

For example, how about using all-natural objects/materials - like wood - to make decorations? It's a great idea for those who like to keep things simple but still want them to look nice. Well, here are 15 great ideas to draw inspiration from:

1. Delightful illuminated houses

Red and beige, with reindeer, angels and trees, these little wooden houses are wonderful for decorating at Christmas. We can decide to place these decorations at the entrance to the house where they will act as a lovely light source, or in the living room, or even in the bathroom. In fact, they look good anywhere, you just need to choose where.

If don't like the usually-bare base used for the Christmas tree, then you can opt for a wooden base plate for the same purpose. This can then be easily decorated to ensure the "foundation" of our tree is much prettier.
