There’s nothing quite like Christmas time. The spirit of giving is in the air…and the smell of freshly baked cookies. The family gathers and memories are made, while we thank God for another year of life on His beautiful earth.
The holidays are something I look forward to all year long. And nothing gets me excited quite like transforming my home into the perfect wintery oasis. I love searching Pinterest for new ways I can decorate my home for Christmastime, and I wanted to share 31 Christmas decor ideas that I think are absolutely stunning.
Grab some hot cocoa and a fuzzy blanket and let’s dive into these 31 elegant Christmas decor ideas!
31 Christmas Decor Ideas For The Home
1. Garland over the entryway
I love putting fir garland all throughout my house. I normally wind one around the railing going up the stairs, and I lay one overtop of the hearth above the fireplace. I had to save this idea because I had never thought to put garland over the entryway before!
2. Garland and gold accents
Look at this subtle and gorgeous Christmas-y scape! The fairy lights in the garland is super pretty and I love the use of the mini pine trees, the canvases and gold accents.
If you have a pretty fireplace and are looking for creative ways to deck it out, be sure to save this one.
3. Pine cone candle holders
If you love pinecones as much as I do, this diy project will certainly be on your list this December.
All you need is a candle holder, some pine cones and a couple sets of fairy lights!
4. Blissful bells
Bells are one of those Christmas staples that look elegant as decorations. This simple railing display utilizes some long pin needle garland, a velvet bow and three large bells.
5. Orange garland
I have been seeing more and more of this orange garland on Pinterest! I thin it adds a gorgeous and unique pop of color against the pine and probably smells ah-mazing too.
If you’re looking for a Christmas-y activity to do with your kids this year, you should make some orange garland together!
6. Sweetly simple
Super pretty Christmas ladder display!
7. Sleep in heavenly peace
I’m someone who loves to change up my room a few times a year to keep it feeling fresh. I love the idea of switching out the bedspread to Christmas colors and adding a sprinkle of Christmas cheer to where I lay my head.
8. Sheet music trees
As a musician, the part of Christmas that has always been the most special for me is the music. There’s just something about Christmas music that evokes the warmest and most comforting feeling.
That’s why I had to include this Christmas music tree craft, because wow is it beautiful! If you want to learn how to make it, click on the pin!
9. Worker mice ornament
I thought this mouse ornament was super cute!
10. Deck The Hall
Deck the halls by adding string lights to your hallway entryways this year. You can never have too many Christmas light!
11. Simplistic mantle decor
This rustic mantle look reminds me that sometimes, less is more. This person made the prettiest Christmas mantle with a thin line of garland, a long brown bow, unique candles and framed Christmas trees.
12. Merry kitchen sink
Ugh! I just love little Christmas displays like this. They’re subtle yet super beautiful and add so much to a room. During the holiday season there are all the more dishes to wash, so you might as well make it feel Christmas-y!
13. Illuminate the stairs
This sort of thing would be a hazard in my home full of dogs and kids, but it sure does look gorgeous!
To recreate this look, hang garland along the stair handrails, and place two fake candles on either side of the steps.
14. Warm lighting
I hope I’m not the only one, but those majorly bright/iridecent Christmas lights make me SO mad. They just don’t evoke that warm charm that these classic lights do.
Look at how cozy this Christmas living room is, and it’s all thanks to the warm string lights and candles.
15. Christmas village
I know how clear surfaces can be hard to come by in a house full of kids. But during the Christmas season, I do my due diligence to make sure there’s space to set up gorgeous Christmas displays like this one.
This one is so simple yet looks totally gorgeous on top of this fireplace mantle.
16. Christmas tree canvas
I feel like canvas art is starting to make a comeback in interior design circles! I love the idea of swapping out different canvas art based on the holiday season.
17. Pine bottles
Have to trim you Christmas tree down in order to fit in in the house? No problem. You can make these gorgeous pine displays to put around your home or give to neighbors and coworkers!
18. Mini dining room wreaths
If you’re hosting Christmas dinner this year, you may be wondering how you can spice up your dining room to wow your guests. I found this chair wreath idea and I think it’s perfect.
They don’t add clutter to the dining room space, and they make the entire room feel so much more festive!
19. Christmas canvas
I am someone who loves Christmas lights everywhere, but I have to say this light-less mantle display is totally stunning.
20. Curled up by the fireplace
I had to include this idea because I LOVE how they hung the stockings on this rustic-looking piece of wood. So cozy!
21. Christmas cheer above the sink
Who doesn’t love a Christmas-y kitchen?
22. Winter wonderland centerpiece
If you love tray displays, then this Christmas-y display should have you feeling inspired! All you need is a wooden slab, some pinecones in a candle holder, some winter wonderland Christmas trees and of course a Christmas-y scented candle to recreate this stunning look.
23. Wrapped in a bow
I thought this idea was cute and unique so I had to include it in this list. Using a piece of velvet ribbon, this interior designer made her picture frame look like a wrapped present on the wall!
24. Garland up the staircase
Garland on stair rails looks stunning in any home. I love how the Christmas lights exude a warmness creating an effortlessly cozy vibe throughout the whole home.
25. Alpine slide
Growing up, I always looked forward to decorating the house with my family. There were certain decorations (like that ceramic Christmas tree everyone seems to have) I was responsible for setting up every year.
My mom would always plan out little Christmas crafts for us kids to do, and this penguin display is one I plan on recreating with my daughter.
26. Moody Christmas Entrance
Here is a moody Christmas entryway that would any house guest would find stunning. I love the attention to detail, the rustic-looking candle holders and the creative fa la la la doormat.
27. Chic velvet trees
If going all out with Christmas decorations isn’t totally your style, there are still ways to add subtle hints of of Christmas to your living space without going overboard. Like this cute little display with velvet Christmas trees!
28. Christmas in a bottle
Look at how GORGEOUS these Christmas tree jars are. They kind of remind me of snow globes, but these ones are certainly more rustic-looking and unique.
This would also make a fun DIY project to do with the kids this holiday season! Just get some mason jars, mini Christmas trees and fake snow to recreate them!
29. Smitten mittens
Isn’t this the cutest idea for outside the door?? Don’t get me wrong, I love a good Christmas wreath too, but I just think these Christmas-y mittens are to die for!
To recreate you just need a knitted pair of mittens and some extra pine branches to stick inside.
30. Nutcracker night
I have always thought nutcrackers were kind of funny. I think they add a lot of personality to a living room space and are a great addition to any fireplace mantle.
31. Dreaming of Christmas-y things
When it’s Christmastime, I want that Christmas-y feeling in every room of my house. That’s why I have always loved displaying a mini Christmas tree in my bedroom.
Here’s another example of the over-the-door garland I mentioned earlier but for the entryway of a bedroom.
