This is the most magical holiday, which is shrouded in traditions and symbols. Most of them are embodied in the catalog of Christmas decorations from IKEA . Complement your looks with unusual materials and bold textures: there has never been such a festive decoration in your home. We choose unusual Christmas decorations from IKEA , because there are a few weeks left before the holiday.
Natural Christmas decorations for the home from IKEA
Have you ever wondered how much vegetable waste from the fields goes to recycling? Spikelet stalks, leaves and grass have become a tool for creativity for the company. Unusual IKEA Christmas decorations 2021 are masterfully transformed natural materials. They have taken shape and purpose - to decorate the house, filling it with warmth and care for the planet.
- Indian agricultural waste turned into the most original IKEA Christmas decorations for your home throughout the history of the company.
Hanging balls, wreaths and table decorations made of dry plants are made in two colors: brown and green (photo 1). They look beautiful on their own, although you can add their colors: hang small toys, weave beads or a garland thread. IKEA Christmas decorations 2022 are made by hand, they require delicate care - you can only brush off the dust with a brush.

- New Year is a great occasion to remember traditions. Therefore, the company's collection includes Swedish jewelry. The Dalarna horse is usually made in red - since the 16th century, when it first appeared. It has long acquired the status of the most popular Swedish souvenir. IKEA has released it more than once (including red). This year, the collection was replenished with a specimen made of cork tree bark (photo 2). It is self-sufficient in this form, but if desired, it is easy to customize it: decorate it with paints, toys, or something else.

- Straw goat is another traditional decoration (photo 3). Usually it was woven from the last straws and decorated with red ribbons so that there would be prosperity in the house for the next year. IKEA also offers these Christmas decoration toys made of natural material in two sizes. An unbeaten gift and an unusual decoration of the cabinet in the hallway: you won’t want to part with the goat after a series of holidays.

- Straw is an excellent material for beautiful Christmas decorations. They are warm, light and unusual at the same time. Therefore, this year IKEA offered a whole set of Scandinavian snowflakes (photo 4). They are so carved and weightless that they want to decorate the space: so don't limit yourself to just a Christmas tree, because even a bouquet in the center of the table can be easily made wintery with their help.

- Christmas decorations buy at IKEA can even be made of wood. Carved pine figurines warm with their warmth and give the house comfort (photo 5). They can be left untouched. Or you can try your hand at art painting and create a unique toy.

IKEA 2021 Christmas decorations: a non-standard approach
The product catalog and Christmas decorations at IKEA can surprise. The company's designers boldly rethought the usual images and offered alternative versions of the classic solutions.
- The Christmas tree is an essential attribute of the holiday. Big or small, natural or artificial - it is in every home. If you are not afraid of bold experiments, you can choose one of two non-classical models. The first one is made of steel, with a star on top (photo 6). As branches, only tubes that can be decorated as desired. The second is bamboo rings, which are tied with red threads and fixed on a table base (photo 7).
Unusual, airy and conceptual - that's how you can describe these Christmas trees. Such decoration will surprise and delight at the same time.

- We are used to waiting for Santa Claus on a festive night - after all, he always brings gifts. But what if you can also invite gnomes to the light? A decorative set of a door, a stool and a mailbox (photo 8) can be decorated and then hung on the wall. Children will definitely like this game. Do not forget to leave the door ajar and leave a treat: we are sure that the guests will thank you with a delicious treat.

- Paper crafts - who didn’t prepare them at labor lessons, and what child today doesn’t work on a project for school? IKEA also believes that this is the easiest and most environmentally friendly way to decorate a space. Therefore, this year the collection has original hanging decorations (photo 9) and even Christmas trees that will decorate the cabinet and a beautiful branch in a vase.
Of course, they can be used in any way: to decorate a Christmas tree, a window or an entrance door.

IKEA glass Christmas decorations for the home
Talking about IKEA holiday decorations, one cannot ignore their glass decorations. This year there are at least three new items that will definitely win your heart.
- A set of balloons, stars, hearts and bells of different colors in the box looks like it is many years old and has made more than one child happy (photo 10). And let him only have such work to do, but there is no doubt that he will not cope. Warm, cozy and familiar - these toys are desirable to see in the jewelry collection.
Photo 10
- Dalarna horse in glass and red – a hit in the heart. It looks like a small stained-glass window and in the light or in the lights of a garland, the glass beautifully plays with its edges and glows (photo 11).
Photo 11
- Glass Christmas trees or bells in three shades of green is another beautiful and atmospheric toy (photo 12).
All its charm is revealed in the light: the material changes its shade, acquires volume and texture. Knowing the company, if you are a fan of unusual Christmas decorations, then you should have it: after all, next year you need to prepare for something new.

Preparing for the holiday with IKEA is pleasant and easy: the catalog charges you with a festive mood and gives you a smile.

Where to store Christmas decorations: 10 unusual ideas We tell you where and how to properly clean the holiday attributes
Photo: Annie Spratt/Unsplash
Christmas decorations storage is a responsible task. But if you approach it wisely, the packaging process will please almost the same as decorating a Christmas tree. Let's see what the options are.
1. Original packaging
The most obvious option is to store fragile jewelry in the same boxes it came in. This option is especially good if the package is transparent on one side - then you can see what is inside, and it will be easier to find the right toys.

2. Puzzle of jewelry
Some manufacturers make packaging to match the outline of the products; The sets have separate cells according to the shape of each toy. Do not throw away such boxes from sets - they will ensure the safety of jewelry so that they will last for many years. Each ball, bell or bump must be placed in the appropriate compartment, where they will be protected from possible damage. If the storage niches are larger than the toys themselves, the latter can be wrapped in paper.

3. Cartons for eggs
If the original packaging is not preserved, you can make its equivalent from improvised means. Any cardboard or plastic box will do. The main principle is that Christmas tree decorations should be packed as tightly as possible into them; if necessary, an additional soft layer of cotton wool or fabric can be made.
One of the most popular options is egg cartons, usually suitable for small to medium diameter Christmas balls. Such boxes are originally designed to cushion the contents; their soft cardboard allows you to store balls without additional protection.

4.
Cases with compartments Fabric organizers with a dense frame are suitable not only for storing linen and household items. In them, without touching each other, large Christmas decorations are ideally placed. It is convenient to put away any Christmas decor in multi-level wardrobe trunks - from glass balls to twisted garlands.

5. Beads in a bottle
Shiny holiday garlands and beads made of small balls often get tangled with each other and Christmas decorations, so it takes a long time to return them to normal. For each product, you can pick up a small plastic bottle with a volume of 0.25-0.5 liters. If the beads are placed inside, they will not fall out of an open jewelry box and will not get tangled, clinging to other objects. Another way to store is in sealed plastic bags: contact with other items is minimized and the paint on the products will not wear off.

6. Garland on cardboard
Also, thin long beads and garlands can be wrapped around a piece of cardboard, a toilet paper sleeve or a roll of cling film or foil. It makes sense to wrap flashlights, lamps and other fragile items in a cloth or arrange them in rows in a box of a suitable size.

7. Little things in glasses
It is better to store miniature decorations separately from the general mass of toys, so that you do not have to tear off tangled threads, fishing lines and wires that are parts of decorations. For little things, paper cups with lids are well suited.
You can put small snowflakes, rag figures and clothespins for the Christmas tree in them, and then tightly pack the cups into one large box. You can use transparent plastic glasses - this will make it easier to find small things next December.

8. Wreaths in boxes
Christmas wreaths, if they are not woven from real branches, can please for years if properly stored. It is important that the elements of the product do not bend or break, so you should choose a package that is suitable in diameter for them. Suitable, for example, a box for a hat or cake; The main thing is that it is clean and dry. Small wreaths are conveniently stored in plastic food containers or fabric trunks.

Classifications and inscriptions To make it easier to find the right toys when they are needed again, boxes and packages are signed or provided with stickers. If it is customary to decorate not only the Christmas tree, but the whole house, it is convenient to group decorations depending on the room: living room, bedroom, nursery, corridor, etc. You can classify toys by color and shape, if this is relevant for the interior in certain colors, you can - according to the topic and purpose.
To make toys easier to find, label boxes and bags or put stickers on them with names
10. Precautions
It is best to fill boxes with Christmas decorations completely so that there is as little space between items as possible. So fragile items will not break when moving from place to place. Antique toys should not be stored in tightly closed plastic packaging: in this case, moisture does not evaporate, which can cause paint to peel and even chip. If the packaging is plastic, it is worth making small holes in it for free air circulation.
