White Christmas: The trend and the Kunstidee for the Christmas room

The famous "white Christmas" , from which adults swear so often to have always experienced them in their childhood, is actually an extremely rare event in our latitudes - and "always", although the time has always been meant since the beginning of regular weather records.

The fact that this “white Christmas” in Germany is roughly as likely as adequate through -scale oil price cuts to the consumer has slowly got around in Internet pages.

So it is only understandable that the producers of the Christmas decoration also discovered that nature does not satisfy the longing for "white Christmas" and that they can step in: The "White Winter Forest in the apartment" was declared a Christmas decorative trend in 2014 by the EFSA (European Floral and Lifestyle Suppliers Association) .

"Pure Perfect" is called the trendy style, modern and puristic it should present himself, with different white tones, with silver, with very light green. Ice crystals on the window and snowballs (without prescribed place) were declared "must" that the whole decoration should have something to do with snow and winter forests, many white decorative pieces and a lot of glittering are offered in stores, even artificial snow owls were spotted at furnishing fairs.

Nice for you, "pure perfect" in no time with inexpensive means and a lot of fun yourself:

Different white tones can be designed with a collection of bed sheet or the harvest-premature fleece of the last garden season or white wallpaper as a snow landscape (substructure from cardboard boxes, for example), perhaps creatively "tied up" with washable colors, silver controls aluminum foil or the film on the curd package, many plants bring from the cress to the poinsop Accents.

Ice crystals can be cut from the walls of a tetrapac and hung on the window, snowballs arise from styrofoam balls with modeling bandages (see YouTube video) or from cotton wool ( brigitte.de ) or from white wool.

If you want to drive it onto the top-here you will find image templates of your personal snow owl, to print out, cut out of the box and paint white, and a guide for a snowy owl from wool threads.

Most of a few branches of white and wind around with fairy lights, or tinker a few houses made of cardboard, paint white and illuminate the windows lined with colorful transparent paper from the inside with LED tea or mini light chains , arrange everything nicely, and you're ready to get a magnificent white winter landscape ...

More fancy "pure cosiness"?

If, when describing the "Pure Perfect" scenarios in your spiritual eye hundreds of chocolate-smeared toddler hands, the "pure perfection" transform into "smeared resolution", this trend may not be the right one for you.

If nothing does, the furnishing decorators also thought and "the naturally acting Christmas decoration" explained the second Christmas decoration trend in 2014: "Materials and motifs from the forest had served the industry as inspiration ," explained an industry representative at a relevant trade fair, "it really strikes that real pine cones and branches are now being used."

How, you have been doing that for years, about since your oldest three has become?

Well, the trade depends on the taste of the masses that is carefully explored, so the finding of ideas takes longer ... We also believe that you are tinkering with your children, after all you read an art blog and are one of the people with fun creativity - but at least it should be mentioned that they are just in trend ...

But you'd probably think of trends themselves anyway, and your Christmas tree looks very different - in this case we are happy if we were able to contribute some creative suggestions and wish them

A wonderful Advent and Merry Christmas!
