Wondering how to make your home cosy for Christmas this year? You are in the right place!

If you’ve been lacking feeling in the Christmas spirit these last couple of years, then you should know that the Christmas spirit starts from within your home!

In this blog post, explore how to make your home cosy for Christmas so this can be your best Christmas yet!

1. Christmas Scented Candles

The first way to make your home feel cosy for Christmas is to get some Christmas-scented candles.

From cinnamon to Christmas pudding, there are so many varieties of candles that you can purchase to create a Christmas scent in your home.

Etsy is a great place to shop unique candles that also come in Christmassy designs to get you even more in the spirit

The White Company has some beautiful Christmas candles for gifts or yourself!

2. Fairy Lights

Fairy lights are an affordable way to add a sprinkle of magic to your home.

Instead of opting for colourful fairy lights, choose warm lights that promote a calming feel. Then add to your staircase banister or drape over furniture.

3. Switch up Throws & Pillows

Nothing says cosy more than cuddling up in front of your TV with a blanket, right?

When choosing knitted blankets, opt for warm-toned colours to compliment the rest of your home throughout this time of year.

4. Decorate With Knick Knacks

Next in this guide on how to make your home cosy for Christmas is to decorate with knick-knacks.

Whether you purchase something new or use the favourites that have stuck with you each year, this is a fun way to bring Christmas into your home.

Dunelm has some great, affordable Christmas decor. 

5. Hang Stockings

For me, I always love traditional Christmas decor and stockings are definitely that.

Hanging stockings across your fireplace or on your walls is an affordable way to cultivate the traditional Christmas style in your home.

I'm loving Cox & Cox's Christmas decor this year!

6. Consider Festive Bedding

Is there anything better than getting into a Christmas-themed bed on a cold winter night? I honestly, don’t think there is,

Tartan bedding is such a go-to during the Christmas months and is a great way to embrace the season.

Sophie Allport always has beautiful designs - particularly at Christmas!

7. Hang Wreaths Around Your Home

Although I do love a good wreath as an outside door decoration, why not bring it indoors?

They can be added literally anywhere in your home by using one of those hanging hooks or you could add them to windows, backs of chairs or even cabinet doors.

I love this Mistletoe Wreath!

8. Purchase Seasonal Signs

When wondering how to make your home cosy for Christmas why not swap out wall art for seasonal signs?

The kitchen is a really great place to do this and you can find many seasonal signs that say things like ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’ and ‘Santa Claus is watching!’

Not On The High Street has some great options!

9. Create Your Own Festive Garland

Garland branches bring greenery into your home during the festive period. 

Place these garlands above kitchen windows, above your fireplace or wrapped around your banister for a more traditional Christmas look.

I adore this mistletoe and pin pre-lit garland!

10. Purchase a Christmas Cookie Jar

Purchasing a Christmas cookie jar is one of my favourite things to do at this time of year. 

It’s just something about them that makes them so inviting and fun.

Sitting down, watching a Christmas movie with a friend and eating a Christmas cookie? Sounds like pure bliss!

Decor Home has some great ideas for DIY options!

11. Abandon The Big Lights

Finally in this guide of how to make your home cosy for Christmas is to abandon the big lights.

If there is ever a time to abandon your big lights and opt for lamps and candles instead, it is the winter period.

This is an effortless way to create a cozy ambience in your home!
