1. Light Up Your Balcony

Let the world know you are ready for the season by glamming up your balcony. Add strings of outdoor lights to the balcony railing and even the plants out there and create a magical fairyland kind of ambience. You can add a few colourful wreaths around the balcony wall and even hang up some wall décor to create a very festive look. Choose vibrant colours like red golds and greens to glam up the place. If your balcony is large, try adding an artificial Christmas tree to complete the winter wonderland look. Some of the best apartments in Colombo, Sri Lanka, are quite spacious and elegant, which makes it a pleasure to decorate. Check out the latest projects by Cinnamon Life for a better understanding of your options.

2. Make the Entire Apartment Look Festive!

You can add loads of festive charm and easily transition your entire home into a holiday cave of good cheer by making subtle changes. Go ahead and get yourself those colourful holiday-themed napkins, dishcloths, tea coasters, hand towels, and tablecloths. Use them to replace your regular accessories and the entire place will transform into a holiday theme. For more cosy winter vibes, you can add scented candles to every room in the house. Choose fragrances like cinnamon, apple, and pine to invoke memories of Christmas every time you get a waft of the scent. Your Colombo apartment will smell warm and welcoming every time you get back home once these personal touches are added – the perfect way to keep you in the holiday mood.

3. Decorate Your Cabinet Tops

If your apartment is made up of an open plan kitchen, go ahead and make the area Santa’s little workshop. You can have elves sitting on top of the cabinets, a few stuffed reindeer dangling off the handles, and plenty of seasonal fridge magnets to create the vibe. Look for garage door magnets with large Christmas or New Year themes and you can stick those on your fridge. The counter front can be made to look festive by adding a few colourful garlands in tinsel; choose bright blues, green, red, and gold.

4. Add a Wreath on Your Front Door

Let your guests know that you are ready for the holiday season with a huge wreath on your front door. If your apartment complex permits, you could add a small reindeer, Santa, or Christmas tree figurine next to your front door in the hallway. Even your doormat can be changed to a festive-themed one.

5. Decorate Your Balcony Doors and Windows

Add cheer to your bedrooms by stringing lights around your windows. If you live in the tropics and own a classy Colombo city apartment, bring in some winter cheer by pasting huge snowflakes covered in white glitter on the glass of your windows, as well as your balcony doors. A few artificial poinsettia plants on the window ledge will complete the entire look and cheer you up every time you walk into a room. Other little additions you can make to create that holiday vibe are to decorate your bookshelves and add lights to any potted plants you may have. Of course, a big red throw rug over your couch will definitely complete the entire gold, red and green theme of the holidays.
