Add a Christmas tree in the bedroom
There’s nothing more magical than a Christmas tree in a bedroom. It turns a standard space into a cozy, festive retreat.
If you don’t have much room, opt for a small, tabletop tree. You can also use a faux tree to save space.
This tree is just enough to make a statement in this bedroom without taking up too much space.
Decorate the fireplace mantel
The fireplace is the heart of any living room, and the mantel deserves a little love, too.
Here, a lush garland makes a statement, while a simple string of lights adds a warm glow.
A few white and gold accents add a touch of glam to the space.
Hang a Christmas wreath in the window
Wreaths aren’t just for the front door. They can be hung in any window throughout your home.
Add a few twinkling lights to make it stand out even more, and then add a simple garland to the window frame.
Add cozy throw blankets and pillows
Just like in the fall, when you can never have enough pumpkins, during the Christmas season, you can never have enough throw blankets and pillows.
Add a few festive blankets to your ladder or basket, and then sprinkle in some holiday pillows on your couch.
Add a Christmas tree in the living room
This living room by Emily Henderson is a perfect example of how a Christmas tree can be a simple, yet impactful, addition to a room.
The tree fills the empty corner, making the room feel more purposeful.
The colorful ornaments are a fun and playful touch, and the tree is anchored by a cozy reading nook in front of it.
Decorate the staircase
There are so many ways to decorate your staircase for Christmas.
Start with a pre-lit garland and then add in other items like ribbon, ornaments, or floral picks.
This staircase from Craftberry Bush features a simple garland with a gold ribbon.
A few extra sprigs of greenery add a little extra volume, and a few gold and silver ornaments add a perfect finishing touch.
Add a festive Christmas kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so why not add some festive touches to make it feel extra special this time of year?
Here, a garland with red and gold ornaments is draped across the top of the window, adding a pop of color to this neutral space.
A small wreath is hung in the center of the window for an extra festive touch.
Add a Christmas tree in the dining room
If you have the space, a small Christmas tree in the dining room adds a touch of magic.
This is especially great if you have kids, because it gives them a chance to help decorate a tree.
You can use a smaller tree, like a potted Norfolk pine, and decorate it with small ornaments or a color scheme that matches the dining room.
Add a festive holiday bar cart
If you’re short on space, a bar cart is a great way to add a festive touch to your living room.
This little corner is all dressed up with a mini tree, a few bottle brush trees, and a cute sign.
TIP: If you can’t find the perfect sign, make your own! Use a chalkboard or a small piece of wood and write out a holiday phrase in your best lettering.
Conclusion
Transform a vintage window frame into a piece of art by hanging it on the wall and adding a wreath and a bow. For extra Christmas cheer, add a string of lights around the wreath.
