Throw The Perfect Melbourne Apartment Christmas

Whether you are a local or an expatriated worker, Australian Christmas is unlike any other holiday celebration in the world. And what better way to prepare for your first Christmas in your Melbourne apartment than to decorate?

Creating the perfect Winter Wonderland is not all candy canes and silver lanes. The dapper decorator will take time to examine their space and see what may work best. This brief guide will help you decide the best ways to give your place a festive look for the holidays.

Know Your Limits: While the luxury Melbourne accommodation you occupy has plenty of space for a tree, some lights and presents galore. But it is important to know your limits. Don't try and fit a tree that is too big into your place. No matter where you place is, it will still seem stuffed in. Hang enough lights to create a soft glow in the evenings, but not so much they will keep you up at night. If you can read a book with the lights off, you have probably hung too many Christmas lights.

Match Your Décor: As you develop the perfect look for your Melbourne apartment, you will begin to develop a taste and style all your own. Make sure your Christmas decorations match your normal décor, so that everything flows together. If you pride yourself on a hip, modern bachelor pad, don't buy tacky, inflatable Christmas characters for your apartment. If you keep a generally uncluttered apartment, keep your decorations simple and elegant so that Christmas in your place remains decidedly you. And make sure you prepare for friends and business associates dropping in.

Don't Forget The Food: Sights are not the only important part of Christmas. The smells of fresh food are also important. Most luxury accommodations in Melbourne come complete with state-of-the-art kitchens. Christmas and New Years offers the perfect opportunity to use this new kitchen to entertain business clients. Try a new recipe, have some friends over and enjoy your Australian holiday season in style.
