When it comes to decorating this area for Christmas, you have a lot on your plate. Keep the big lit Christmas tree near the door, and create a beautiful crib next to it. Not only will the lighting of your tree enhance the look of your door, but it will also give your decoration a unique touch. That being said, you can decorate the entire patio area with colour co-ordinated fairy lights for a better look.

2. Living Room

Since the living room is a place where guests spend most of their time, you can take the liberty of decorating it with lights, lanterns, wreath, bells, and a whole lot more! However, if you want to give your room a distinct touch, then instead of decorating the entire living room, select a corner of the room where you can place the tree and just decorate that area with lanterns and colourful thermocol balls.

3. Dining Room
