Welcome to Hogwarts: Tips for a Grandiose Christmas Decor! 🌲

Christmas season has arrived in full speed. Do you also feel like the summer holidays just ended? That only a few weeks ago we were drinking cocktails on the beach, tanning in our bikinis, and complaining about the mosquitos? Yeah, same here girl. But, just like that, December is already knocking on our doors, clad in red and gold and waiting to permeate every single aspect of our lives for the most wonderful time of the year (not even referencing Andy Williams here, Christmas just truly IS a wonderful time). And with the Holiday season already upon us, the biggest question we’re all asking ourselves is of course: “How the heck am I going to decorate the house this year?”

Each year it’s the same thing. Torn between buying new decor or re-using old ones, wondering what color scheme to go with, wanting to impress friends and family when they come over for Christmas dinner, the questions are endless! Let’s be honest, no one wants (neither has time) to spend hours and hours pondering on the house’s holiday makeover but, at the same time, we would really love our corridors and living room to be as impressive as Hogwarts’. The massive trees of the great hall, pretty lights everywhere, bewitched snowy ceiling… Wow, there would be nothing better than Christmas decorations giving that glorious and magnificent Hogwarts vibe! What if we told you we have the best tips & tricks for you to embrace that need for grandeur in your holiday decor? And if we added that it doesn’t have to be complicated? Yes, we know you love us!

Our Favorite Ideas for a Magnificent Christmas Decor

Big & Bold: Our Posters 📷

The easiest (and cheapest, and fastest) way to put your Christmas decor up a notch this year and embrace the Hogwarts grandiose vibe is to use framed photo posters! They are bigger than simple prints and will make a more significant statement in your decor. You can use frames that you already have hanging at home and simply replace the poster inside to make it even easier or buy some at your local store. The next step is to choose your treasured Christmas pics - it can be snaps of your smiling BFF in front of the tree, of your cheerful doggy playing in the snow, or your favorite aesthetic Pinterest christmassy photos, whatever as long as that Holly Jolly vibe radiates through them! Now all you need is to use Picta to order those posters and collect them in 1h at your local Walgreens. Et voilà! Your walls are decked and house looking so fab it’s worthy of old McGonagall’s sporadic praises!

Magic Lights ✨

All the cozy-savvy girlies out there will tell you: there is nothing better to create a comfy Christmassy atmosphere than warm toned lights. That hospital reminiscent white bulb will ruin your decor! By smartly choosing a few strings of fairy lights to put not only on your trees but also on top of the mantel piece, snaking on the cupboards, dressing the door frame, and more, you will make any room basked in a permanent golden glow that brings a fancy cozy vibe to even the simplest of decor!

Hagrid’s Trees 🌲

We all know about those massive trees that Hagrid carries into the great hall for the most fabulous decor. It’s just trees you’d say? Oh no, it’s so much more than that! The right sized tree for your living room will immediately bring all the decoration together and make it high-quality looking. So don’t be shy with the Christmas tree picking this year, choose the biggest one that would fit (you don’t want to have to cut its head off because it scratches the ceiling… been there done that) and let it assume it’s rightful regal place as the centerpiece of your entire holiday house makeover!
