Why You’ll Love these Christmas Decorations

  • It’s been proven that decorating for Christmas can lift your spirits and is good for the soul.
  • This list offers both decorations that anyone can quickly and easily put together, and some that promote extra thought and creativity.
  • I bet some of these ideas will be new to you!
  • Some are both practical and pretty!

1. Christmas Pictures

Display Christmas photos around your home with favorite memories from previous years. Look for pretty holiday frames to hang on the wall or display on side tables or shelves.

2. A Blanket Ladder

Add your cozy Christmas blankets to a blanket ladder. They’re a practical way to store your blankets and make a pretty Christmas decoration too!

3. Christmas Towel Box

If you tell me I can make something cute and pretty, but practical and organized too, I’m instantly on board! That’s how I feel about a towel box. It’s a great way to store all those cute Christmas towels right on the countertop where it’s easy to grab one when you need it. It makes for a pretty Christmas decoration too!

4. Holiday Tiered Tray

Decorating a tiered tray is so much fun! It’s a great place to display all those adorable little Christmas trinkets you’ve collected in an orderly but creative way. If you’re not a collector of cute and tiny Christmas decorations, head to your local craft or home store for endless options! You can find little signs with Christmas words or quotes, candles, little holiday trees, miniature Santas, snowy pinecones, and so much more to decorate your tiered tray.

5. Christmas Card Display

Decorative window frame wall decor is a festive way to display all those Christmas cards where you can view them throughout the season. Punch a small hole in each card and use some decorative Christmas ribbon to tie them to the frame. Tie the ribbon in pretty bows or use curling ribbon for an added touch.

6. Decorative and Functional Tray

This decorative tray is pretty and practical year-round! Use it to hold tv remotes but brighten it up with Yuletide cheer by adding Christmas coasters to hold your peppermint mocha. Add some seasonal magazines to read and Christmas flowers or greenery for added aesthetic. Place a cozy winter blanket or table runner under the tray and place it on your ottoman or coffee table to complete the look.

7. A Festive Tablecloth

Add merriment to your dinner table with a pretty tablecloth. Green and red plaid is a pretty and classic pattern, but there are endless options available. Nostalgic patterns of snowy red barns and old trucks carrying Christmas trees are always fun or perhaps sparkling snowflake or jolly snowmen are more up your alley. Whatever brings joy to your world, add it to your dining table this year!

8. A Cozy Bench

Perhaps you have a bench in your entry way or at the foot of the bed, so why not warm it up and make it extra inviting this year? Add a faux fur rug or cozy blanket to sit on and pick up those cozy Christmas pillows you’ve been admiring at your local home store. Add them to your bench and you’ve created an inviting place to sit.

9. Centerpieces

There are so many ways to be creative with a centerpiece. Surround candles with fir tree greenery, ornaments, artificial snow, pretty flowers, Christmas lights or a combination of the above. Simple vases or Christmas flowers are beautiful too. Place centerpieces on dining tables, coffee tables, kitchen islands and more!

10. Christmas Garland

Deck the halls with pretty Christmas garland this year. Wrap it around the staircase or hang it around the door for a warm and welcoming entryway. Drape it across the fireplace mantle behind the stockings or add it to a shelf or entertainment center. Finish off the look with classy white lights or other fun and festive colors.

11. Holiday Lanterns

There’s nothing like the warm glow of lanterns hanging on the wall to add ambiance to a space. Adorn your lanterns with Christmas candles surrounded by pretty fir tree greenery or poinsettias or fill it with sparkling Christmas lights. Add ribbon or winter stems to the top to finish off the look of this fun Christmas decoation.

12. Decorative Ornament Container

This one is easy as cranberry apple pie! Just find a container like a wooden box or pretty bowl and fill it with ornaments! Christmas ball ornaments work well, and a shatterproof variety will save you any headaches.

13. Christmas Wreaths

Add that classic wreath on your front door to welcome guests, but there are several other places to put a wreath! Small wreaths make great centerpieces with a decorative vase and candle in the middle. Wreaths also look beautiful simply hanging on a wall or even a mirror. Add pretty Christmas bows, ornaments, lights, berries, snowy branches, and more to make them your own and match your home.

14. Nativity Set

Celebrate the true meaning of Christmas by adding a nativity set to your collection of decorations. They come in all shapes and sizes making it easy to find one to fit your space. Illuminate the nativity with small battery operated candles or lights to add glowing warmth.

Promote canoodling in your home this year by hanging some mistletoe. Who doesn’t love cozying up to their loved one for a smooch at Christmastime? So, find a highly trafficked area to hang this fun Christmas decoration, meet your honey under the mistletoe, and have yourselves a merry little Christmas.
