We all love to watch holiday oriented movies, specially Christmas themed ones. There are dozens of great Christmas movies which we have seen several times in our entire life. Great art designers & set designers have spent numerous hours to create a perfect Christmas scene in every movie. Those decorations are so unique & astonishing that till date we would like to live those moments. Let us cherish those movies & decorations which can be adapted in this Christmas.
1. Let's start counting with my personal favorite – “Home Alone”. The McCallister family fly to Paris for celebrating Christmas holidays after accidentally leaving small Kevin alone in the home. Through their eyes we can see a new Christmas in a new palette. In their hotel room, we can see a tree with turquoise ornaments attached in snow white branches. That was a brilliant but unexpected contrast to the American Christmas eve. Kevin also decorated a traditional pine at the home. These two separate style of Christmas tree was a refreshing change, and we can adopt these styles too.
2. The 2nd one might be - “A Christmas Story”. One of the most classic movies based on 40's environment. The Story is set in around nine year old Ralphie, desperately seeking the “Red Ryder Gun”. But that is not our interest. The actual spectacular thing is the home decor, which was very simple. The Christmas pine was decorated haphazardly and the old untidy furnishings got a basic appeal. And it helps the audience to recall the lost days of childhood when nothing was more exciting than waiting for your wish list come true.
3. Now we can talk about - “The Santa Clause”. How we can forget the ever charming Tim allen (as Scott Calvin) finishes St. Nick's trip and deliveries as a substitute Santa. The most remembered moment was when Tim Allen flying on a sleigh through the neighborhood above the lights-covered pine trees. The light-covered forest was so eye-catchy, we can surely try this out in our garden.
4. Next on line is - “Elf”. The main character Buddy might be little more enthusiastic while decorating Gimbels’ “North Pole” covered with special paper snowflakes. But as a matter of fact, we, the audience really loved it. People truly admire the concept of dangling paper snowflakes from the top. It would be fun to create these cutouts & stick them with the ceiling, it would surely render a nice snowy fairyland ambiance.
5. This is also one of my favorite, but an animated movie called - “Arthur Christmas”. It is sure that decoration an animated movies is quite easy rather than a real life motion picture. But still, you can't avoid the concept of decorating your room like Arthur's, son of Santa clause. The decoration of Arthur's room was spectacular, & so as the grand Santa's picture, the table covered with card garland, Christmas mug, colorful stars, miniature pine tree covered with all decorations, little snowman Jack frost – all off them. The room symbolizes the heart of a young lad who really care about the spirit of Christmas.
There are many other movies where you can find different other Christmas room decoration inspirations. Among them It's A Wonderful Life, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Love Actually, Jingle all the way, Alvin and the chipmunks, A Christmas Carol, White Christmas are quite popular. These movies not only portrayed the spirit of Christmas, but also demonstrated a fine class art work through their interior decorations. So, let your eyes rolling..& see what ideas would enlighten your home this Christmas eve.... Merry Christmas :)
