First of all, we must remember the philosophy of this aesthetic, designed first and foremost to provide comfort. To this end, it seeks to convey a sense of peace, calm and tranquility. Chill out environments try to create a comfortable bubble away from the stress and the hectic pace of modern life. For this reason, avoid overloaded environments that are overwhelming. This maxim does not lead to the first tip:

Opting for few ornaments and minimalism

Mies van der Rohe, father of minimalism, knew how to see the beauty of simplicity like few others. Its well-known slogan “less is more” reflects this vision, not only based on the pragmatism of having only what is necessary, but also on the evidence that aesthetics and simplicity are not incompatible. Rather, they tend to go hand in hand. For this reason, we recommend opting for few and simple details that highlight, however, the beauty of the space. Stars, centerpieces without excesses, one or two garlands at strategic points, a Christmas wreath, Christmas balls without stridency, DIY snowflakes … can be distributed in strategic points of the house, without the need to place many or concentrate them in the same space.

Natural details

Nature is capable of transmitting an indescribable sense of peace, rootedness and belonging. Perhaps because in a subconscious way it reminds us that we are connected to the earth. This ‘invisible’ link takes us back to our roots and primordial origin. Hence, the chill out style resorts to elements of natural evocation to generate calm, tranquility… We recommend, in this line, using accessories inspired by nature or directly natural: dry pine cones (painted or natural), vases with dry branches from which hang some ornament, pine leaves, untreated wooden boards or sticks with lights hung on a wall, etc.

Chill out colors

Opt for white for Christmas details, the quintessential chill out color, given the sense of peace and calm it conveys. It can be combined with earth tones, ochers, yellows. Mauves also go very well with this style.

Candles

The chill out aesthetic uses soft, subtle and delicate lighting to create an intimate and cozy atmosphere designed for relaxation. For this purpose, lamps are used to diffuse the light and adjust its intensity. Christmas lights for this type of decoration should follow this maxim. Candles have become, for this very reason, the leitmotiv of their interiors. In addition, fire is associated with purification, which makes them ideal for calm and tranquility to reign in your presence. For Christmas we can design centerpieces with candles or elegant Christmas candle holders, using glass jars or pieces of untreated wood, among other natural elements.

Garlands with white LED lights, lanterns and lanterns with a Christmas motif -we can decorate their crystals with snowflakes- are other options, equally recommendable, to create a chill out aesthetic this holiday season.

Textiles and more

Cushions, pillows, rugs… as well as giant, pear and soft poufs give a sense of protection and make the space more welcoming. At this time of the year we can decorate them by adding DIY ornaments or covers with Christmas motifs, for example. They can also be customized by turning them into special holiday furniture.
