I'm deliberately going to steer away from all the razzmatazz and commercial side of the festive season for living rooms and suggest that you use your curtain poles or tracks as a means of hanging natural and handmade festive decorations.
Combine these with pretty bowls filled with pine cones in various shapes and sizes along with home-made tree decorations, such as gingerbread men, iced biscuits, cinnamon sticks tied with red bows and natural items that you found in your garden or while taking a walk. For those who like to have a more calm festive season these types of decorations show that you have great interior design flair and can turn your hand to create stunning displays which you've made yourself.
The great thing about using your curtain poles to hang decorations is that you can add decorations to every room in your home in a subtle and whimsical way without having to spend lots of money. You can also use natural or home-made items as tiebacks to your curtains to give a coordinated look to your windows.
Think outside the box this Christmas and make your own decorations to suit colour scheme and style of your living room.
