🎄 How to Style Your Garden with Christmas Inflatables: Tips from the Experts
Transforming your front yard into a festive wonderland doesn’t have to be complicated — or costly. With a few well-placed Christmas inflatables and some thoughtful styling, you can create a cheerful, Aussie-flavoured display that delights neighbours, kids, and passers-by alike. Whether you’re just starting out or adding to a growing collection, here are some expert tips to make your garden shine.
1. 🎯 Pick a Theme (Or Let the Inflatables Choose It For You)
Want a classic Christmas look? Go with traditional Santas, reindeer, and snowmen. Prefer something uniquely Aussie? Think Santa on a BBQ, kangaroos in antlers, or a giant cockatoo wearing a Santa hat. At Air Figs, we specialise in inflatables that bring Aussie culture into Christmas — and your theme can grow each year.
2. 🗺️ Plan Your Layout Before You Plug Anything In
Think of your garden like a stage. Place taller inflatables (like the Sydney Harbour Bridge or Santa riding a roo) toward the back, with smaller ones like platypuses or parrots closer to the front. This helps everything be seen clearly and avoids blocking sightlines.
3. 🔌 Keep It Safe and Tidy
Use outdoor-rated extension cords and power boards with built-in surge protection. Anchor inflatables securely (they come with pegs and ropes) and keep cords tucked away from footpaths or walkways to prevent tripping.
4. 💡 Add Lights to Take It Up a Notch
While most inflatables have built-in lighting, consider adding solar fairy lights around the base or in nearby bushes to enhance the glow. Spotlights aimed at your inflatables can also help them pop after dark — especially for those Instagram snaps!
5. 📸 Create a Photo Moment
Leave space for people to take photos! Position a group of inflatables together to form a backdrop, and maybe include a sign that says “Merry Christmas from [Your Family Name]!” You’ll be surprised how many friends and neighbours stop by for a snap.
6. 🧼 Keep It Clean (But Simple)
Wipe down your inflatables every few days with a damp cloth to keep them looking fresh. If you get a storm or dust storm, let them dry out fully before storing to avoid mould or mildew.
7. 🔁 Switch It Up
You don’t need to put everything out at once. Rotate your inflatables through December — keep the surprise going! One week it’s Santa and the koalas, the next it’s kookaburras and kangaroos. It keeps the magic alive.
Final Thought: 🎅 Let Your Personality Shine
At the end of the day, your inflatable garden display is a reflection of your holiday spirit. Whether you go full festive with a front yard of dancing Aussie animals or just feature one big statement piece, have fun with it. Your joy will be contagious!
