Channel the warmth and magic of Christmas with retro ornaments, colors, and themes that remind you of your childhood. Yes, nostalgic decorating has returned to our interior design consciousness and has positively influenced our recent Christmas decorating ideas, too.
Entrepreneur and HGTV star Joanna Gaines was one of the first designers to champion a return of retro Christmas ornaments. Take the Nutcracker decorations, for instance, in traditional red, green, and gold. These handsome soldiers never fail to make you smile, and can be easily dotted around your home for an instant dose of festive flair. Flank a pair on either side of your mantlepiece, use them to dress your Christmas tree, or make do like Gaines and create a Christmas wreath using only Nutcrackers and other wooden ornaments – Angels are another favorite of mine.
