Lighting is Everything!
What would Christmas be like without twinkling lights? The colour you choose also makes a big difference in the overall look of your home when decorating. What’s more, Christmas lights seem to have become really expensive at certain retailers. And the most expensive lights aren’t long enough.
On top of the price of the lights you also have to buy batteries because for some reason it’s become difficult to find electric lights. But you can find magical lights that are affordable if you know where to look. Value Co is like the Dollar Tree for South Africans.
At this retailer, you can get 200-meter Christmas lights for R100. Additionally, you can get ones in all different colours or the traditional warm colour lights everyone loves.
With lights that have a decent length, you can place them around your windows or wrap them around banisters or countertops in your home.
Clean Your Christmas Tree and Add Some Themed Decorations
Your Christmas tree has been in storage for an entire year so chances are it’s dusty and may have a few cobwebs hiding in the branches. Before you set your tree up, we recommended giving it a good wipe-down with your favourite Zoflora wipes.
Then you can start adding your decorations. Wrap your Christmas lights around your tree first before adding your tinsel and bulbs. If you put your lights on after, the wires will get tangled in all your decorations and it will look like a complete mess.
You can crisscross your lights over your tree or create a spiral pattern. Themed decorations seem to be all the rage. For example, you can create a Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Nightmare Before Christmas themed tree.
Decorate with Shiny Tinsel
Similar to Christmas lights, your home wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t decorate with shiny tinsel. You can place tinsel around your door and window frames and add lights to them. You may need to use double-sided tape to secure your decorations or use prestik. Make sure the adhesive you use doesn’t damage your walls or leave marks on your surfaces.
Use Christmas Themed Accents
If you want to bring the festivities to life in your home then consider using Christmas-themed accents around the home such as:
- Scatter cushions
- Rugs
- Wall hangers
- Vases
- Mirrors
Common images associated with Christmas are reindeer, trees, snow, snowmen, and Santa hats. You can also have Christmas socks hanging from counters or over a fireplace if you have one. And for the religious families, set up a nativity scene on a table where everyone can see it.
Use Christmas Themed Zoflora Fragrances
You don’t want your home to smell bad, especially when you have guests coming over for Christmas lunch. Choose a Zoflora Christmas fragrance to eliminate foul odours in your home. You can use your Zoflora product to clean and disinfect surfaces but it’s also used as an air freshener.
With that being said, you can create a Zoflora spray by adding water to a 500ml spray bottle and adding two caps of Zoflora concentrate. Shake the bottle well and use it to add a scent to your furniture, and curtains or to clean and disinfect counters.
Popular Zoflora fragrances for Christmas include Winter Spice and Warm Cinnamon. The fragrance will last for up to 24 hours after spraying.
