As we enter the final quarter of the year the festive mood starts to set in. We start to feel the air getting crisper, the hugs getting warmer and mood getting better and better and better. And for this mood to get better, your home is first place from where the aura starts spreading. Christmas mood has already set in! And it sets in right from the month when we start collecting the goodies and the goods.

Decorative Balls for Christmas

So, what are you planning as the décor theme for this Christmas? It is always ideal that you think of a theme at first and then start collecting or buying stuffs. Otherwise if you go on buying décor accessories without a clear picture in your head, you are going to give a messy look finally. Avoid your home becoming a mess or a hotchpotch. Keep everything looking in sync. Consider your taste and style and as well as the color of the festival.

Stick to the traditional. Pick red, golden, blue, white and greens for color. Do something social. Buy handmade products and make a statement. Handicraft is not only beautiful and unique; there is also a purpose in using handicraft products. You can support the cause for nature and you can support some folks who are making them. You can try out hand crafted Christmas décor items from India. Colorful bells and balls on red and blue based on golden are just great to go with Christmas theme. Use it for the tree décor or for wall and ceiling décor. These are eco-friendly products and are 100% natural.

Christmas Decorations- Blue Balls

But that’s not all. Handicraft can keep the costs down. Times are tight and considering our decorations are only on display for two weeks a year, it’s good to keep spending down to a minimum. There’s the obvious money saver of buying handicraft decorations and keeping to a theme that matches your home so you can reuse every year without the danger of them obsolete.
