ornaments. You can also create a
cohesive colour palette bywrapping
the books with festive gift wrap.
By the side of a kitchen island
counter (or a foldable breakfast
table), hang a small-scale wreath. If
your home has an entryway table,
prop up a bigger wreath on it and
place a fewvases of poinsettia around
it. Covering the table in a festive sheet

Another placeMalaysians often
overlookwhen decorating is the
entrance to the home. Go traditional
withwreaths, or take it further and
give the door some personality and
character by dressing it up – as a
present. To achieve this, just use
twowide strips of cloth placed
perpendicular to each other with a
bow atop its intersection. Cut out
black circles and an orange-coloured
isosceles triangle to form the face of a
snowman. You can also hang wooden
letters along a banner to spell out
Christmas cheer.
Lastly, don’t forget to decorate to
your taste and style. There is no use
putting up extravagant decor that
does not reflect the personality of its
household. You alsowon’t want to
simply copy something that does
not gel with the interior decor
“expression”. Decorations that add a
touch of cosy and comfortable always
make the occupants and guests feel
welcomed and at home.
