Well, the holidays are officially over and unfortunately so are the beautiful and magnificent decorations in the house. After January 6th, or for some as late as mid-January, Christmas trees, Advent wreaths and Christmas tree decorations go into hibernation and end up back in the cellar until next year. For us it is always a sad moment whenthe last Christmas decorationsis placed in the cardboard box and the walls suddenly feel bare and empty. But that doesn't have to be the case! A suitable and atmospheric decoration after Christmas looks just as festive and helps us to bridge the time until spring. So that your home doesn't appear too dreary, we have put together many great decoration ideas for you below that will immediately create a warm and cozy atmosphere!
Atmospheric decoration after Christmas for a cozy atmosphere
How should we decorate our home after Christmas so that it doesn't look sad and empty? We may all be asking ourselves this question in January. After all, the dark season will remain with us for quite a while and it is still too early for colorful spring decorations. Whetherpurist and minimalistor rather rustic - a pretty decoration after Christmas is an excellent way to make ourselves comfortable indoors and transform our home into our retreat. But how can you bring that cozy feeling back into every room so that we don't feel desolate and sad?
Although almost everything that looks wintery can be left in the Christmas decorations, there are still some elements that have to go in January. Unfortunately, the Christmas tree in the living room, the Christmas pendants and Christmas baubles as well as the Advent wreath have to be put away again to make room for pretty and cozy decorations after Christmas. A beautifully dressed home always creates a cozy atmosphere and radiates a feeling of warmth.
Hang a herb wreath
After all, it is still winter in January and February and periods of snow and winter storms can actually come at any time. With low temperatures and long, cold nights still ahead, it's even more important to spruce up our home with appropriate post-Christmas decorations. We admit it – there is hardly anything more beautifulas a door wreath, who welcomes us. After you put away the Christmas wreath, do the door and walls look a little too bare and bare? But that's over now! How about replacing the Christmas wreath with a fresh and elegant herbal wreath? Fresh herbs not only look really elegant, but also provide a wonderfully pleasant scent. Think mint, thyme, bay leaves or rosemary and let your creativity run wild.
Fairy lights for a cozy home decoration in January
Twinkling lights give rooms a touch of magic and are simply a part of the Christmas season. But who says that the fairy lights have to leave our houses in January? They have long been more than just something for the Christmas tree, but also provide warm, indirect light all year round and are therefore ideal for elegant decoration after Christmas. In addition, fairy lights are real mood-enhancers and always create a cozy atmosphere without appearing too festive. Whether asWindow sill decoration, in the hallway or even draped in a glass as a table decoration - the sparkling lights are perfect everywhere and are a real highlight. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and shapes.
Decoration after Christmas with candles
Even in January, candles remain an important design element and are therefore the best possible choice for simple and elegant decoration after Christmas. When it's snowing and stormy outside, scented candles provide more comfort and coziness. Scents such as clove, cinnamon or oranges remind us a little of crunchy Christmas cookies and also pamper our senses. However, when decorating your apartment in January, you should avoid decorative elements that are reminiscent of Christmas in color. Instead, how about neutral colors like gray and white or pastel tones that are very trendy? Simply arrange a wooden tray with candles, add a few winter elements such as pine cones and wooden stars and voilà - you have the perfect decoration after Christmas!
Make yourself comfortable with home textiles
When it's cold and stormy outside, we want to curl up in a blanket on the sofa. Cozy home textiles such as blankets, cushions or carpets are a real enrichment in the winter and give our rooms a rustic and cozy touch. Decorative cushions in different sizes and colors create a really nice arrangement and transform the sofa into a real eye-catcher. Or why not spice up the windowsill with it? However, when it comes to decorating after Christmas, “less is more”. After the abundance of lavish decorations during the holidays, neutral tones and wintry motifs like snowflakes feel wonderfully refreshing and light.
