How to Decorate Your Home for
Christmas
Everyone jokes
that the holiday season starts earlier and earlier every year. But planning in
advance can mean less stress as those weeks actually approach. This way, you’ll
have everything waiting in the wings
before the holidays hit, and all you have to do is pull and place. For those
celebrating Christmas, it’s one of the most special times of year. It means quality time with family and friends, generosity, good
will and many warm memories.
This holiday season, we’ve identified our favorite
Christmas decorating ideas
Layer Different Types of Christmas Greenery
Don’t limit yourself to one type of bough when it comes to Christmas
evergreens. You can mix and match garlands and wreaths in pine, fir, and
spruce. The subtle differences in each create a beautifully
textured look when combined in your Christmas decor.
Pump Up the Plaid Patterns
A popular Christmas pattern, plaid can be incorporated throughout your
whole home. Use plaid to update your bedding,
bathroom textiles, and living room throws, or use it in classic Christmas decorations like stockings. You can opt for red and
green plaid for classic Christmas vibes or mix it up with
shades of winter blue.
Frame Everything With Garland
Garland can be a finishing touch to any holiday room design. You can hang
it around windows and door frames, along
banisters and mantles, and even on the tops of cabinets. With such a wide variety of Christmas garland options available,
be sure to pick one that matches your holiday decor.
Hang the Chandelier With Festive Ornaments
With so many places to hang Christmas decorations, people tend to forget
about the chandelier. Add bows, strings of Christmas
beads, or color-coordinated ornaments to make your chandelier stand out. You can even top your chandelier with a
wreath or weave fresh garland around it for a natural
accent.

Nod to Winter's Natural Elements
Incorporate nature-inspired decorations into your Christmas arrangement.
Pinecone garlands and flower arrangements with
holly berries are fitting options that bring touches of nature into your home. Create your own natural centerpiece by
displaying your favorite winter elements in a decorative
bowl or tray. A combination of evergreen sprigs, cinnamon sticks, and scented pinecones makes an aromatic accent that will supply
your home with holiday ambiance all season long.
Call on Classic Christmas Colors
A classic red-and-green Christmas color scheme is sure to fill your home
with glad tidings.
Embrace traditional Christmas decor with shiny red and green globe
ornaments on your tree.
Decorating with red candlesticks is a time-honored way to set the holiday
mood, in addition to fresh wreaths that give off
comforting pine aromas.

Option for a Unique Christmas Color Scheme
If traditional isn’t your style, resist the red. Make your home merry and
bright by decorating with bright shades of blue, pink,
and orange. Don’t be afraid to go all out by using a colored Christmas tree that makes a decorative statement.

Be Merry and Monochromatic
Go for a chic Christmas design by decorating in varying shades of the same
color.
Monochromatic Christmas decor prevents any space from looking too busy and
lets you put the focus on significant decorations like the
Christmas tree.

Design Your Decor Around a Theme
Amp up your typical Christmas setup by creating a thematic arrangement.
Designing your décor around a specific theme helps
to solidify the ambiance you are trying to create. You can add a touch of whimsy with a Santa’s workshop theme or keep
it classy with a winter wonderland. Your theme can also simply
mimic your decorating style. Farmehouse xmas décor, for example, blends nicely with a Farmhouse style home.
Aim for an Original Decorative Arrangement
Get creative this year and use your normal Christmas decorations in an
original way. Try hanging your garland at the
base of your banister for a unique look. Instead of just hanging ornaments on the tree, use them to fill a beautiful
glass bowl or vase. Wreaths aren’t just for doors. Get
creative with your wall decor and hang a cluster of three or four
color-coordinated wreaths on an accent wall for
an eye-catching design that amps up visual appeal.
Use Seasonal Scents
Nothing triggers memory quite like a scent. Capture the feeling of
Christmases past with traditional holiday fragrances
like cinnamon, pine, cranberry, and gingerbread. You can incorporate these scents with candles, potpourri,
scented garland, or flower arrangements.
Take the Christmas Cheer Outside
Adorning your house and yard with Christmas decorations helps your whole
neighborhood embrace the holiday spirit. You can keep it simple with a festive
doormat and wreath or go all out with light-up lawn decor, garlands, and bows.
Take advantage of all outdoor décor opportunities, like your
mailbox. You can wrap garland around the post or put a decorative arrangement on top.
Shop Outdoor Christmas Decorations
String up Twinkle Lights
String lights are synonymous with Christmas decorations. They belong
everywhere, from your tree to your banister to the outside of your
house. You can get creative and use lights to line walkways or
stake them in the ground to create a border around your yard. Take note
of whether your lights are recommended for indoor or outdoor use before setting them up.
