Glamorous Christmas Decor

This Christmas, your home can be transformed into a winter wonderland with frosted branches, metallics and a touch of glitter. Learn how to set up a glamorous tree and mantel in this video by Better Homes and Gardens:

By adding sparkles, metallics and frosted branches to your home’s decor, you’ll have a holiday look that speaks to Christmas’ glamorous side.

This sophisticated backdrop shows off sparkle better than a green fir. Start by adding glass ornaments in a romantic color scheme, like turquoise and frosted metallics. Put all the turquoise ornaments on first, then fill in the gaps with metallic ones to add a nice shine. To finish, drip inexpensive silver tinsel from the branch ends.

When it comes to your mantel, skip the subtleties. Instead, fill the whole space with oobjects that are thin but tall. To draw the eye in without being too overwhelming, repeat similar objects, like two vases of white flowers and four silver glass trees. The real star is flocked garland which hangs on the mantel like branches heavy with snow. Ask your local garden center to flock the pieces before bringing them home. Tuck solid leaves into the garland to add depth, then watch it flicker near the fire. To maximize the depth of this beautiful display on your mantel, add a reflective mirror.

Finish off your home’s holiday look with the season’s star flower. Use spray adhesive on solid white poinsettias, and then add clear glitter. Place the pots near a window so the sun captures their shine.
