We’re finally counting down to the last few days before it’s Christmas! Who else is excited? ? I’ve always really loved the Christmas holidays. I’m in love with the idea of making a house looks like it came straight from Santa’s workshop. As Filipinos, I’m pretty sure that 90% of all households are already pretty decked out with Christmas ornaments. But, what if you’re part of the 10% that’s putting decorations off until the last minute? Well, we’ve got you covered. Here are some easy, fun, and festive accent wall ideas for the Christmas holidays!
Winter Wonderland
Just because we don’t get snow here in the Philippines doesn’t mean we can’t pretend to have some! If you’re looking for a super quick DIY accent wall, this is for you. Pick the perfect spot for your winter wonderland. Cover the accent wall with a base paint of a light blue shade like BM-0040S Harbour Bay. Next, find something round around your house that you can use as a guide. Use this is as a stencil to create falling snow of different sizes! If you’re confident about your painting skills, you can go without a stencil guide to make this Christmas accent wall look more rustic.
‘Tis the Season to be Holly
If you’re up for a little bit more of a challenge, try painting cute little hollies as your Christmas accent wall! Holly is the quintessential plant that is synonymous with Christmas. You can usually find it in plastic form placed all around your Christmas tree! If painting these on your wall one by one sound like a chore, try stamping them on instead! Not sure how? We did something similar in this video. Check it out to learn more! For this one, we went with the colors red color and green color. These bright and festive hues are sure to be a big hit!
Have a Tree-mendous Christmas!
Maybe, your old, plastic Christmas tree is way past its prime. It no longer sparks joy and desperately needs to be retired. But, you just don’t want to rub elbows with last minute Christmas shoppers in the mall, too. Worry not, we’ve got the DIY just for you…a Christmas tree! Yes, this is a bit more tedious than the other two accent walls. However, you can customize this tree to your heart’s content! Get the kids involved, too. This could be a fun new Christmas tradition for the whole family.
