A plant-based, organic theme suggests a natural and eco-friendly Christmas \u00a9 Vegaoo Party<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Another big trend in recent years has been natural and organic colours and materials, together with materials such as linen, wood, jute, paper, cotton, ceramics and glass. Pair this with stoneware candle holders, wooden table mats or a linen tablecloth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This theme is mainly about conscientious consumption, but it also revisits traditional holiday features with elements that bring a modern, contemporary feel to your decor. Your guests will love this new twist and the green message behind it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add plant-based accents such as pine cones, holly, mistletoe or fir branches to finish off your decor. These little details will make all the difference, making your chalet even more welcoming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas baubles, garlands and a tree \u2013 the essentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However you decide to decorate your chalet for Christmas, there are certain staple decor items. Here are the five essentials for a successful Christmas makeover: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you go for natural or artificial, green or white, small or large, you\u2019ll be spoiled for choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good thing about an artificial tree is that it will last for several years. However, it won\u2019t look the same. For a natural and more luxurious finish, opt for a real tree. Your guests will appreciate it. The sight and smell of a real tree, for many, brings back memories of childhood and conjures the magic of Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful not to put your tree up too early \u2013 it would be a shame for it to lose too many needles by Christmas Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to stay faithful to your green beliefs, we advise you to choose an FSC*-certified tree from sustainable forests or opt for a reusable tree made from wood or recycled cardboard, for example. Here are some good examples: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
