Hanging bunting or garland and incorporating balloons in colours to match are great ways to impress your friends and family. Passing up the traditional holiday colours for tropical bright hues can help reflect the Australian summer.
Now, let’s dive into how to decorate for your Christmas party!
Set the Holiday Tone with a Welcoming Entrance
A beautifully decorated entrance sets a festive tone and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere right from the start. Adding some thoughtful holiday decorations to the entrance including artificial trees with tinsel and ornaments will immediately transform your space into a joyful one.
On the door to your home, office or wherever you are hosting, try hanging a wreath as a first sight that your guests will see. Matching the Christmas party theme or complimenting your personal style is an easy way to make an impression at the entrance. You can add some sparkle by incorporating lights and festive colours to the ambience. Bunting is also a simple, affordable and fun way to add dimension to your space by hanging them both indoor and outdoor for your guests to enjoy.
Transform Your Garage into a Party Space
Decorating your garage for Christmas can be a fun and creative way to spread holiday cheer and celebrate with family and friends. When planning your seasonal soirée, consider the space when it comes to choosing the appropriate decor.
Hang string lights along the walls, ceiling, or around windows for a warm glow and to create a cosy atmosphere. Drape garlands around beams, shelves, or the door frame and embellish with tinsel, homemade ornaments and small twinkling lights. Hanging swirls and pop up decorations that fall from the ceiling is a beautiful way to decorate for your holiday party while creating a visually pleasing display. You can also hang holiday wreaths on the garage door or get your favourite Christmas ribbon to make a large bow to adorn it.
For added fun, set up a small photo backdrop with decorations where family and friends can take pictures. Include holiday props, like Santa hats or reindeer antlers to truly embrace the holiday. Designating a gift wrapping station with festive papers, ribbons and ornaments can help guests get a head start on their wrapping, making more time to enjoy the days leading up to Christmas day.
Make Your Tree the Heart of the Holiday
Trees are the epitome of the Christmas season and often serve as the focal point of holiday decorations, bringing a sense of joy and festivity to homes and public spaces. They offer various cultural, emotional, and symbolic roles to people, connecting to traditions and roots. With our tips below, you can create a beautifully decorated Christmas tree that reflects the joy and warmth of the holiday season.
First, decide whether you want a real tree or an artificial tree that you can reuse each year. Choosing a fresh pine or a native species like a eucalyptus can be a great option if you opt for real. Selecting a colour scheme full of bright and bold colours like reds, greens and golds will create a traditional holiday look while tropical hues reflect the Australian summer vibe. Consider a coastal palette with blues, whites, and sandy colours, incorporating beach-themed or Aussie themed ornaments for a summer forward aesthetic appeal.
Tinsel and ribbons add texture and depth to your tree while lights add warmth that create a magical glow, especially during summer evenings. Choosing a tree topper to finish your tree’s look can reflect your theme whether you choose a traditional angel, starfish, surfboard or kangaroo.

Create a Festive Table to Impress Your Guests
Creating a festive Christmas table setting and decor can make for a beautiful space during your holiday gatherings. Grounding the table with a table cover and runner in seasonal colours or festive patterns adds depth and style as a backdrop. Adding centrepieces with native and holiday flowers including poinsettias, holly and eucalyptus alongside various heights of candles contributes to the cheerful display.
Consider tossing in pinecones, branches and berries next to your tealights and pillars. Mixing and matching festive dinnerware with napkins, cutlery and glassware will complete your Christmas look.
