Christmas decoration ideas
For a traditional Christmas celebration
Every year, people decorate their homes in the festive month of December – in styles ranging from modern to nostalgic. We present the most beautiful Christmas decoration ideas for a nostalgic festive season and explain how to make your own Christmas decorations and decorate your living room for Christmas.
Traditional Advent decoration for a festive mood
The Advent calendar and Advent wreath are traditionally the first decorations that put us in the mood for the approaching festive season.
Advent calendars are popular gifts for all ages. To add a personal touch, you can make your own Advent calendar and fill it with items such as Villeroy & Boch’s high-quality Christmas figurines. If you need a quicker solution, you can choose the Villeroy & Boch Christmas Toys Memory Advent calendar set.The set consists of an Advent calendar with little porcelain figurines and a decorative tree with space to hold all 24 figurines.
Home-made Advent wreath
The classic Advent wreath is made from fir sprigs and four pillar candles which are lit on each the four Sundays of Advent. It can be arranged tastefully, for example, on a stylish white bowl or a plate from Villeroy & Boch’s NewMoon collection. The serving plate from the Manufacture Rock collection is ideal for creating a square Advent wreath.
Classic Christmas
Setting the scene at the table
When it comes to decorating our Christmas table, high-quality Christmas dinnerware is a must – whether in classic red and green or entirely in white. Depending on personal taste, you can arrange plates, cups, tureens, bowls and other Christmas dishes to create individual looks for your festive table. Atmospheric lighting and baubles will then add the finishing touches to your stylish Christmas table setting.
Tip:
Why not use Christmas dishes as beautiful Advent decorations? The festive Toy’s Delight La Boule tableware set is an ideal choice. It is a perfect tableware set for two people that can be instantly transformed into a beautiful eye-catching feature when assembled in the form of a stylish sphere.
A wreath is a popular Christmas decoration for a front door. Christmas tree baubles in different sizes and colours are perfect to quickly make a glittering Christmas wreath for your front door. Simply attach the baubles to a metal template with wire. For a more minimalist natural style, you can also use pine cones or a few sprigs of conifer, wild briars and eucalyptus to make pretty festive decorations for an external door.
Atmospheric lighting for a festive mood
There are countless decoration ideas for Christmas today. One essential element in any Christmas decoration is gentle lighting. Fairy lights and candles create atmospheric lighting effects along with floor and table lamps.
Fairy lights in different colours look radiant on the Christmas tree, but they are also ideal to create a cosy atmosphere in other areas of the home too. Arranged over a window or on a wall, they provide soft, indirect lighting.

What could be more beautiful than special moments in candlelight with your family during the Advent period? Villeroy & Boch’s pretty hurricane lamps and hand-crafted candles create a cosy atmosphere and are absolute must-haves for the festive season.
Making your own nostalgic Christmas decorations
Do you enjoy looking back on past Christmas celebrations? When everything was decorated in festive style, smells of freshly baked biscuits filled the air and large baubles or tinsel angels hung on the tree. The vintage look brings this nostalgia into the present day. With a little skill and some natural materials, anyone can make their own beautifully rustic Christmas decorations.
There are different ways to make your own nostalgic Christmas decorations. A real pine, fir or spruce Christmas tree, traditionally decorated with shimmering festive baubles, pretty tree ornaments and tinsel, is an absolute must. Old cushions and covers and craftwork from grandma’s day will add the finishing touches to vintage Christmas decoration.
Nostalgic Christmas decorations can be modern too. This look is all about clear colours and natural materials. One great idea, for example, is to arrange some nuts, pine cones and twigs in a vase or glass. You could even use glass, metal or porcelain nuts or pine cones. These will look particularly stylish. Instead of a real Christmas tree, you could then choose a brightly illuminated plastic, wood or paper tree for your living room.
