Modern Christmas decoration ideas for the living room

For festive decorative effects in the living room, carefully arranged candles and hurricane lamps are a traditional choice. This will create a festive mood and a cosy atmosphere in the living room. But take care: less is often more when it comes to modern Christmas decorations. In many cases, a particularly eye-catching feature such as an elegant candlestick will create atmospheric lighting effects all on its own.

Minimalism is on trend:

if you prefer a simple look, you can decorate your Christmas tree with beautiful fairy lights. There is no need for other baubles or ornaments. The Christmas tree then makes a statement all on its own

Ideal for purists:

Christmas tree ornaments come in lots of different colours. Choosing a single shade, for example white, will give your tree a very timeless and elegant look.

Geometric shapes:

instead of heavy baubles, you can decorate your Christmas tree with delicately crafted geometric ornaments. These will give it a modern look.

High-quality natural materials:

if you would like to give your Christmas tree a rustic and natural look, you can find the perfect “ingredients” for your Christmas decorations outdoors in nature! Wooden ornaments harmonise beautifully with the Christmas tree. For small Christmas trees, modern decorations in paper and cardboard are an ideal choice.

Modern table decorations as a highlight at any festive meal

We eat with our eyes too, and this is particularly true at Christmas. When it comes to Christmas decorations for the table, there are countless ideas ranging from classic to modern.
