Below are ideas for using their items to set a calming, minimalist scene where you can decompress and look forward with hope to Christmas decorations indoors or outdoors.

Tip 1. Creating a Tranquil Atmosphere
Beyond cozying up inside, spread holiday cheer outward with Artera Home's natural accents. Decorate your Christmas outdoor decorations with the colorful gift boxes placed in the large wicker basket along walkways to guide guests gently.
Soft mulled scents will also uplift outdoor arrivals in winter's chilly air. Simmer mulled apple cider, wine, or other seasonal potpourris on outdoor fire pits and place on Artera Home's rustic placemats or chargers for an inviting ambiance.
String dried eucalyptus, pinecones, or berries among greenery on your front door using jute twine for a naturally elegant wreath for Christmas outdoor decorations. Prop an urn brimming with similar florals beside your entrance for a sprightly welcome. Natural wood cutouts of "Peace" or "Joy" lean against the Artera plant basket to spread good cheer to passersby.

Tip 2. A Retreat for Rest
Christmas home decor indoor, focus fireplace decorations like stockings, mantel garlands and photo displays around memorable moments of gratitude from the past year; don't forget to fill the fireplace wood into a big wicker basket. Surround with boxes of tealights, crystals or twinkle lights for reflection amidst flickering flames.

Curl up under weighted blankets on sofas and bean bag chairs with calming pastimes. An Artera rattan tray beside the tree holds coffee, tea, and snacks replenished to fuel cozy activities like letter writing, sketching, or light reading. Play guided meditation or hymnal artist playlists at a low volume conducive to relaxation.

Tip 3. Connections with Company
While short daylight hours may limit outdoor play, designating cozy family Christmas home decor indoors allows multi-generational recreation near a live fire. Lay kosam interlocking carpet tiles under the Artera Home wicker basket for a plush seating area near the hearth.
Provide natural board games, crafts, and books in medium to large wicker baskets within reach. For the younger ones, trace outlines of pinecones or menorahs onto kraft paper using crayons to color in. Older children may enjoy drawing their vision board for 2024 on cards to display.
Encourage mindfulness for Christmas tablescapes by lighting candles centered on Artera pearl chargers or rattan ray. Pass family-style servings of comfort foods alongside warm mulled cider simmered sweetly on the stove. Group photos or reminders of gratitude dot the walls to foster tradition and togetherness despite external chaos. Or, in case you have more than one blank wall, Artera Home wicker wall decor can help.
