How To Make The Most Of Your Roof Lantern This Christmas

Christmas is just days away, we can hardly believe it! With the end of 2020 in sight, it’s fair to say we all deserve a well-earned break. Finally, the time is here to indulge in the festivities, put on our favourite Christmas films and eat copious amounts of Christmas pud. 

There’s something magical about Christmas, being cosied up next to the glow of the tree, perhaps the smell of gingerbread wafting through the house. This is the time of year that our roof lanterns really get their time to shine. So, put your feet up and grab a glass of mulled wine, whilst we tell you how to make the most of your roof lantern this Christmas.

Roof Lantern Decorations

Aliwood roof lanterns are statement decorations in themselves. Not only do they look simply stunning, but they allow natural light to cascade into the room. Perfect for a sun-kissed, snowy Christmas morning, or even a sky full of stars to add a little extra sparkle to your Christmas eve. 

Get creative with fairy lights, tinsel or have a family paper chain making session (even if it is via Zoom). A festive decoration of any kind will look beautiful draped from corner to corner of your central piece.

Festive Fun

It’s not called the most wonderful time of year for no reason. Although the festivities will be a little different this year, it’s the perfect excuse to get stuck in with family games, quizzes and of course, plenty of Christmas treats.

Having a thermal insulated, flat roof lantern creates optimum comfort and space for family activities, so you can really make the most of those tik tok dance sessions, virtual charades with the grandparents or even a round of good old Monopoly.

This year, wreath making has become increasingly popular, so take a stroll to see what you can forage. Dry foliage such as holly and eucalyptus work really well for these creations. Lots of festive fun that can involve the whole family.

If you still haven’t got your tree up, there’s still time, just about! We would recommend putting it up in the same room as your roof lantern. It’s the perfect excuse for this room to become the festive ‘hub’ of the house. Our skylights really open up any room, creating the illusion of infinite space, sparking creative opportunity. Worth noting is how the reflection of your fairy light embellished tree in the glass above will add to the festive atmosphere, creating a colourful scene.

Tinsel-tastic Tipples

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a few novelty concoctions! Why not try a bit of mixology in your newly established festive hub. Grab your partner, or get the family together to have a go at making some fun recipes. It can be as easy as a cranberry cosmo, but if cocktails aren’t your tipple of choice, indulge in a homemade mulled wine recipe that you can enjoy under your skylight. Remember a hot chocolate with all the trimmings will always go down a treat on a winter’s night!
