Advent is a very special time of year – a time for reflection, anticipation and conscious enjoyment. On the Costa Blanca, the pre-Christmas period is the ideal time to decorate your home and get into the festive spirit. This year, the focus is on a number of exciting trends that are not only beautiful to look at, but also sustainable and conscious.
Back to basics: tradition meets nostalgia
In a hectic and digital world, many people long for authenticity. Advent is the perfect time to revive traditional rituals. This year, classic Advent decorations will be particularly atmospheric with pine cones, handmade figures and candles. The tried-and-tested colours of red, green and gold will give your home a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. If you prefer a more modern look, you can combine these with delicate pastel shades or wintery blues.
minimalism for a peaceful Advent season
„Less is more“ is the motto for Advent 2024. Subtle decorations in natural colours such as beige, brown and olive green create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Simple candle holders, delicate ornaments and understated Advent wreaths add stylish accents and leave room for what really matters: contemplation and cosiness.
Sustainability as a key trend
Sustainability is a key issue in the run-up to Christmas. Why not get creative yourself? Make Advent decorations from recycled paper, old fabrics or natural materials. Handmade wooden cards are a particularly charming idea, as they can be used not only as greeting cards but also as reusable Christmas tree decorations. This way, you are not only giving joy, but also a piece of sustainability.
cosiness consciously celebrate
Advent should be a time to pause and enjoy. Make yourself comfortable with a cup of hot mulled wine, homemade cookies and a cosy blanket. Spend peaceful evenings by candlelight and let the anticipation of Christmas grow. This is the ideal time to consciously take a break and enjoy the moment.
Handmade gifts as an expression of appreciation
Homemade gifts are also very popular this Advent. Whether it's homemade cookies, a lovingly knitted scarf or „Christmas in a jar“ – handmade gifts show your appreciation and bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. Use the Advent season to get creative and make special gifts.
Personalised Advent greetings
A personal touch brings joy to the Advent season. Send handwritten cards with heartfelt messages to your loved ones, friends or business partners. This not only shows your gratitude, but also strengthens interpersonal connections during what is often a stressful time of year.
Decorating with style and awareness
This year, Advent decorations are a mix of rustic elements and modern highlights. Delicate glass ornaments, carved wooden figures and shiny gold and silver accents create a festive yet stylish atmosphere. Be inspired by Scandinavian traditions: candlelight, vintage decorations and subtle colours bring cosiness to your home.
With these tips, Advent 2024 will be a contemplative and mindful time full of anticipation and inspiration. Use the weeks leading up to Christmas to reflect on what is important and consciously enjoy the magic of Advent.
