Take a closer look next time around. Careful consideration is taken to provide a gorgeous aesthetic. Keep your eyes out for some inspiration. Christmas tends to be the time most associated with home. Many of the movies have their main set based in a family home. Their interior design is so quintessentially Christmassy. Here are some of the best Christmas movies with beautiful Christmas decorations. You’re sure to get plenty of ideas.
Home Alone
This is usually everyone’s Christmas favourite. There never goes a year without putting Home Alone on the television. As you can tell with the title, the whole movie is based at home. The McCallister family home is full of Christmas decorations. Everything in this house embodies the spirit of Christmas. The colour scheme is kept traditional with iconic reds and greens. There is a classic fireplace decorate with wreaths. Fireplaces are a great way to attain that Christmas aesthetic. Fireplaces are not all that common in Malta due to the Mediterranean temperatures. However, you can still buy gas and electric fireplaces. This would also add some warmth to the house during the chill we get indoors during Winter. Decorate your fireplace, or even your windowsill, McCallister style this Christmas. You couldn’t get more of a homey feel from a movie. You may also learn a thing or two about booby traps.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Who doesn’t want some inspiration from the wonderful Dr. Seuss? The Grinch remains a childhood favourite, for both young and old. You may get some great ideas on how to decorate your children’s rooms during Christmastime. After all, the Christmas fun should spread all across the house. It shouldn’t just stick to the living room or kitchen. You may not want to get inspiration from the Grinch’s own home, but that of Cindy-Lou Who’s instead. This will give you a more modern feel with curvy, retro furniture and contrasting colours throughout. Add an abundance of colourful Christmas lights around. Your heart is sure to grow three sizes bigger with all the Christmas joy at home.
The Holiday
The Holiday is a great movie for interior design inspiration. The whole premise of the movie involves a house swap. Iris Simpkins and Amanda Woods have their lives turned upside down due to break-ups. Iris swaps her cosy cottage in a village by London for a glamorous mansion in California, and vice versa. Both of these two ladies are in need of a dramatic change in their lives over the Holiday season. Careful attention has been paid to both houses in the movie. The cottage embodies classic British vibes. It’s rustic and exactly what you need for an escape. Complete cosiness to hide away from the world. Of course, the cottage is also complete with a fireplace. The mansion represents the complete opposite. Stylish, modern and bright. The colours are neutral as the house adopts a more minimalistic vibe. This movie is great to watch if you’re after some ideas because the sets are so different from each other. Besides, who doesn’t love that cute little cottage in The Holiday? It’s the embodiment of the ideal Christmas home.
The Polar Express
Most of this movie takes place on a train, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get some interior design inspiration. After all, this movie is so busy with amazing animated scenes. From the shop windows to the lost toys’ carriage and all the way to the elf village. This movie is so magical that it’s sure to get you into the Christmas spirit. The movie may inspire you to place some jingle bells around the house. It will take you to a wonderful place.
