Decorating for the Christmas season!!
While decorating for the Christmas season is undoubtedly a joyful task, it is also an opportunity to express our creativity. From handmade ornaments to personalized wreaths, incorporating DIY elements into our decorations adds a personal touch and fosters a sense of pride in our holiday displays. Let the magic of the season guide your choices and embrace the joy that comes with decorating for Christmas. After all, it is the small details that make all the difference and create lasting memories for years to come. Below are a few of my favorite tips for adding cheer to your space!
A cozy combination of red and white
With a touch of green from the Christmas tree, creates a serene Scandinavian atmosphere, with mixes of red and white throughout. A simply, yet stunning style for the Christmas season.
Emphasize the Color Scheme
You don’t have to limit red and green to Christmas decorations. Incorporate these colors into your home all year round. Use red and green camp lanterns, decoware tins, coolers, and other items to add a vibrant touch to simple shelves.
Bring in Miniature Trees
Spruce up a side table with a sparse alpine balsam fir placed in an antique copper pot. Or simply add small trees to open shelving throughout your home. Add in mini-Christmas bulbs and ribbon, battery operated fairy lights wrapped around the trees are a nice touch too. Add a natural touch with dried-orange garland & strung natural beads. Simple and easy way to add character to any living room or space.
Toy Train Delight
Antique toy trains are not only adorable but also classic decorations for under the Christmas tree. Christmas trains are a charming and classic addition to any holiday decor, especially when placed around the Christmas tree. They bring a sense of nostalgia and whimsy, creating a festive atmosphere for family and friends to enjoy. We have a Lionel Train that our family adores each year and is a highlight for the kids to help place around the tree.
Add Christmas cheer to each room!
Every room in your house deserves a touch of Christmas charm! Often a mudroom is the first space you see when entering your home, so sprinkle some red & greens there, too!! These areas may be small, but they deserve a touch of Christmas magic too!

It will be a delightful addition that brings the magic of Christmas right into these often-overlooked corners of your home.

Choose pieces that feature holiday scenes, winter landscapes, or even playful illustrations of Santa and his reindeer. These artworks will not only add a touch of creativity but also serve as conversation starters during gatherings.
