Be Adaptable

 The back yard Christmas decor shown above could very easily be used on a sheltered balcony off the master bedroom in a two-story home. When you discover a great idea, think about how it could be adapted for your own spaces.

Decorate the Staircase

If there’s any interior space that seems “made to showcase Christmas decor,” it’s the staircase, especially the banister. Garlands of greenery, strings of holiday lights, and even tree ornaments and other baubles can look stunning when draped down the staircase banister.

Add Small Touches of Christmas

A single decorative accessory can have a big impact. A splash of red in a neutral setting can shout, “Happy Holidays.”

Hang Wreaths in Unexpected Places

We love wreaths of all sorts hung on the front door. You might consider other more surprising places to hang Christmas wreaths. In the kitchen shown above, small green wreaths are hung on the backs of counter stools with jaunty red and white striped ribbon. A matching wreath hangs on the hood above the range.

Say Merry Christmas in Your Bedrooms

Many of us advocate for the idea that Christmas decorations belong in every room. And that includes the master bedroom, children’s rooms, and the guest room. All it takes is a garland to bring the look of Christmas cheer. For some, a small holiday touch is not enough, in that case, more is more, so bring on the tartan blankets, toss pillows with Christmas themes and all sorts of holiday accessories.

Add Holiday Touches in the Most Unexpected Place

 Even the bath can be made brighter during the holidays with green and white touches. This vintage bath caught our eye.

We hope we’ve inspired you with exciting and sometimes small ways to take your Christmas decorating to a new level. Have fun! Happy holidays!
