Christmas decorations FAQs
Christmas decorations are essential for creating a festive feel in your home. To help you perfect your Christmas atmosphere, we've answered your frequently asked questions below:
How do you choose vintage Christmas decorations?
Look for pieces that suit your colour scheme and the mood you want to create. Rex London's designs lean into retro and vintage-inspired prints, so wooden advent calendars, felt hanging decorations and beaded stars work well together for a coordinated, nostalgic look. Mixing a few different textures like wood, felt and glass, adds interest without looking cluttered.
What's included in a fill-your-own advent calendar?
Our fill-your-own advent calendars come with 24 numbered doors or drawers, ready for you to add your own treats, notes or small gifts. They're reusable too, so you can bring them out every December and fill them differently each year.
How do you store Christmas decorations after the holidays?
Pack ornaments carefully in tissue paper or their original boxes, then store them somewhere cool and dry. Our Christmas storage range includes bags and tins designed to keep decorations safe and dust-free until next year.
When should you put up Christmas decorations?
There's no fixed rule. Many households decorate from the start of December, while others wait until closer to Christmas Eve. Whenever you choose, a few well-loved pieces are all you need to bring festive cheer to a room, and matching your hanging, table and tree decorations makes the whole display feel pulled together.
When should you take Christmas decorations down?
The twelfth night after Christmas, on 5th January, is when many people take down their decorations based on Christian tradition. In medieval times, decorations would remain in place until 2nd February, the day before Candlemas according to English Heritage. Or you can create your own tradition!
