Christmas Decoration Ideas

Here are some ideas and Christmas decoration types: 

PINECONE GARLAND: Weave this throughout your traditional Fraser garland for earthy elegance.

A FRUITY MIX: Classic garland is jazzed up with a nontraditional twist, thanks to decorative apples, lemons, and even a welcoming pineapple.

If you're lucky enough to have a backyard lush with pine trees, throw some large bulb lights for a twinkly dose of festivity.

PURPLE SHATTERPROOF CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS: Throw these on your favorite holiday greenery to easily elevate your outdoor decor.

This red berry wreath boasts a vibrant and festive feel, perfect for any front door.

 GOLD GLITTERED OUTDOOR ANGEL. The iridescent, pre-lit golden lights will be the focal point of your front porch.

DRAPED LIGHTING: Create a warm atmosphere on the exterior of your home with twinkling curtain lights and a simple, traditional wreath.

LIGHT UP WREATH WITH BOW: Enliven your front door with this traditional balsam wreath, complete with a classic red bow and mini pine cones.

OUTDOOR HOLIDAY TABLESCAPE: For warm weather holiday dwellers, dining outside for Christmas dinner is definitely a possibility. Create a luxurious hanging arrangement with wreaths lights and candles.

CLEAR-CUPPED TEA LIGHT CANDLES: Carefully place a tea light into the holder for a romantic and cheerful setting.

CHRISTMAS ENTRYWAY: Welcome carolers or holiday soiree guests with a beautiful entryway complete with whimsical topiaries and a lit Christmas wreath.

BALL ASSORTED ORNAMENTS: Fill the lanterns with assorted ornaments of your choosing.

CELEBRATE IT GROSGRAIN WHITE POLKA DOT RIBBON: Tie a fun ribbon around the top to go with your style.

SWEEPING GREENS: Give your Christmas party guests a grand entrance with an arching garland that sweeps them into a winter wonderland, as does this pretty arch 

BOUNTIFUL WREATH: A Christmas wreath never loses its charm, but it can be reimagined with bountiful goodies such as pine cones, cranberries, and other seasonal bits 

Pick a classic plaid scarf as a chic centerpiece to your door decorations.

SPARKLE STRIPE BEANIE: Select a fun winter hat to pull the look together.

DECORATED WINDOWS: Why let the front door have all the fun when you can up the holiday spirit with a wreath (complete with festive bows!) on every window?

GILDED PINES: To dazzle guests from the moment they arrive, incorporate gilded pinecones into your outdoor vignettes, by either adorning your door with a gold pinecone wreath or accenting fresh greenery with gold pinecone ornaments. It's an elevated approach to a classic winter motif.

OUTDOOR CHRISTMAS TREE: Outdoor Christmas Decorating 101: Ornaments are not just for interiors. Create a stunning outdoor Christmas tree by covering an evergreen with oversized, weather-proof bulbs.

HANGING LED SNOWFLAKE DECOR: Have thee dance in your trees all winter long.

Here are some tips by holiday tastemakers:

• "You don’t need color to dazzle up your home for the holidays, I like mixing a variety of finishes like gold, mercury glass, and champagne to create a chic and elegant look. Neutral Christmas decor keeps the space soft and inviting, while still creating a festive atmosphere." Courtney Davey of Tuft & Trim.
• The easiest way to test out dramatic holiday decor is on your table. Dress up a dinner party with lush garland, silver candle holders, and wood chargers. Complete each set with gold flatware and a cinnamon stick, as Lauren McBride did here.
• USE PRESENTS AS DECOR. Why spend all that time on wrapping gifts to perfection if you aren't going to show them off? Line your staircase with presents in various fun patterns for a simple but chic decor idea, as shown in this vignette from Craftberry Bush.
• GO VINTAGE. Make use of your favorite antiques by styling them for the holiday season. In this living room by Little Vintage Nest, the sled was an incredible vintage find and the burlap sack filled with Christmas tree clippings adds a rustic touch.
• FOCUS ON THE TABLE. And in focusing on the table, feel free to deviate from the standard red-and-green. "Rather than the traditional red and green scheme, try something new like a fabric in malachite and hot pink peonies," says designer Grant Gibson. "Layer in black and white for a graphic pop. The plates are antique French."
• USE WALLPAPER AS FANCY WRAPPING PAPER. It's a bit of an investment, but if you have an especially important gift to wrap, use wallpaper. "More expensive, but, there are amazing pattern options that I use for my wrapping paper," designer Scot Meacham told House Beautiful. "The wallpaper is a much stronger weight than regular wrapping paper, so there are never any issues with the paper tearing."
• GO NATURAL. Take inspiration from nature for your decorating scheme. "Use fresh evergreen boughs, garlands, and wreaths combined with in-season citruses like lemons, tangerines, and oranges," says designer Tobi Fairley. " It will give your home a beautiful natural look, and it smells heavenly."
• CREATE A LIVING RUNNER. Bring one of nature's best color schemes to your mantle: green and white. "There's nothing prettier than pairing fresh greens — whether boxwood or pine — with mercury candle votives and white lights," says designer Susanna Salk. "Try interspersing the trio across your mantle or as a runner come to life along with your dining room table. It's a holiday look you'll never get tired of.
• STAGE A HOLIDAY 'SHELFIE'. Shelves beg to be a holiday vignette, so turn your attention toward organizing them with seasonal cheer. "Use your bookshelves as an opportunity to inject a bit of holiday flair," says Nicole Gibbons. "Mix in bowls of ornaments, tabletop trees, and other holiday accents into your bookshelves for the ultimate holiday "selfie"
• GO FOR THE GLITZ. Accent a neutral color scheme with gold. "For holiday decorating, I love incorporating natural elements, lights (candles or simple Christmas lights) and a little gold (be it in the ribbons, ornaments or objects)," says designer Sara Story. "Magnolia leaves are always a favorite of mine, especially in wreaths strewn with beautiful gold ribbon. These make for an elegant statement on any door and you can add some great glass pieces or ornaments to really make it gleam."
• THINK IN THREES. For a beautiful statement decor piece, follow this easy formula. "Christmas means three things to me: paperwhites, citrus, and magnolia. I go to the flower market (or the backyard) and cut magnolia and place it on mantles," says designer Miles Redd. "I intersperse lemons or clementines (sometimes studded with cloves), and paperwhites — either the individual bulb — or just mossy pots of 6 bulbs. The smell of the combination is wonderful."
• GIVE IT A LITTLE QUIRK. Add an unexpected element to your traditional decor scheme. "With Christmas decorating, you have to give it a little quirk... a little personality," says designer Summer Thornton. "One thing I do which always stirs conversation is hanging ornaments from my chandeliers. It's easy to do and adds some great color to the room."
• MAKE IT MAGICAL WITH LIGHT. "Years ago in Taos, I picked up a big vintage brass and leather sleigh bell horse harness that I hang on my front door wrapped in evergreens and lights," says designer Windsor Smith. "I do the same on the staircase, wrapping evergreens and leather straps in those tiny strings of lights that you never have to plug in. The light's so much more magical when it floats."

Last but not least, hope everyone has a wonderful and unforgettable holiday~
