Another key aspect of Christmas is sitting down to a big festive meal. Often the dining room has to pull out all the stops at this time of year (it may not have been used for that purpose very much the rest of the time). So if you have a mirror in the dining room, then enhancing this with some extra Christmas decorations can give the room a lift and tie in with your table decorations too. Hallway Try a combination of baubles and garlands for a cosy Christmas feel. Wrapping lights around the garlands can be fiddly, but there are plenty of options with ready-fitted lights and other embellishments like ribbons, berries and pine cones. The warm glow is a lovely contrast to the rich dark green of the garland.

Its Christmas, its once a year and its wonderful; so it has to be unique, fun and memorable! It just has to be! First things first… Simple yet beautiful: hanging an arrangement of baubles in the centre of a mirror is a great way to add a subtle festive touch. Larger baubles tend to work better, and less is more – otherwise it could look bulky. Battery powered fairy lights give it a magical touch! Try enhancing your mirror by adding a smaller garland. Here, large bows are used as embellishments and they wonderfully reflect the matching tree decor. You could get creative and make your own arrangement or use a shop bought option. This well-placed rustic mirror makes the room feel more spacious and offers a near 360 degree view of the beautiful tree decorations.Your mirror is such a natural place to add a Christmas message to family and friends; somewhere that is visible, and because you walk by so many times during the day, somewhere you can reinforce your heartfelt Christmas message! This Christmas decorating post is about creating a feature or focal point using your Mirror. Most of us have got one, often in the hallway, and if not there, then the bedroom, living room and bathroom. For most of us Christmas Decorating is wonderful and exhausting at the same time. You want Christmas Decorating to be traditional, sprinkled with childhood and family memories spanning your lifetime.

The hallway mirror is also a prime location for some festive touches, as an entrance point this is where you will first get that Christmassy feeling when you come in the door. If you have any family or visitors popping over, then this will also be a perfect first bit of decorative magic to welcome them into your home in the right fashion. Bedrooms You can go wide, bright, subtle, elegant, rustic, minimalist or loud. It’s up to you.You can still add a wreath or some greenery for a fuller layered look, or some lights, but it also depends on the size of your mirror and of course, what other decorating you have close by.Also, in terms of safety, it should be paramount that any candles you have burning next to your mirrors are never left burning unattended. For the sake of energy usage more than anything else, electronic lights should also not be left running whilst no one is around. Look After Your Mirror Too You can always buy one to create your Christmas mirror decorating feature. It doesn’t have to be expensive. You can even make one using ordinary glass and applying a simple spray can of mirror paint. The fireplace is often the fundamental focal point of what is itself the hub of the home (especially at Christmas). As such, this creates a prime opportunity to build on the theme set in motion by your Christmas tree. You might use off-cuts from the tree (or a foliage garland) to layer below and around the mirror and run some fairy lights through the warm, rich greens of the spruce, fir or pine. Just think: this is where Father Christmas will traditionally be entering the home, so it will only be right to offer him a cosy festive scene as a welcome! Dining Room To create a stunning wreath like the one above, you don’t have to buy a boat load of expensive supplies – you can easily use anything in your garden; like berries, cones etc. It will cost you less in time and supplies but watch the video to get tips so the result is a wreath that is colorful and looks neat and professional.

So, now you have selected which mirrors you might use, it comes to the small matter of choosing how you will decorate them. It is lovely to work with light when you are decorating mirrors, since the reflection of lights is going to be able to create a mood of magic and joy. You might, therefore, consider reflecting candles in your mirror. This works especially well on the mantelpiece, spreading the light and doubling the effect of the candles. Fairy Lights In the living room, a mantel is always helpful as a prop but you shouldn’t let that stop you. And if you prefer a more minimalist feel, honor that too.On the other hand, you want something different, fresh and new to grace your home. Something friends and family will claim is the best thing they have seen, EVER! Something unique, fun and memorable. Ornate mirrors don’t need much decorating! Delicate bunting works really well in rustic environments, while an illuminated garland makes any room feel warm. There are literally hundreds of different designs to choose from for your Christmas mirror decorating look; from simple stars and baubles to complete nativity scenes with the three wise men.
