1. A CLASSIC INDOOR CHRISTMAS WREATH DECORATION THAT CAN BE STYLED ANYWHERE
Let’s start with the basics, shall we? Every home needs a classic Christmas wreath. The beauty of wreaths is that they can be styled anywhere in the home. A few spaces to consider a large wreath would be your entryway, front or back door, above the mantel, or headboard in your master bedroom. You can even use smaller wreaths on your cabinets to create a cozy Christmas feel in the kitchen. Add DIY charm with some red or holiday-themed ribbon and voila!

Create a great Christmas decoration foundation by incorporating a few items such as a statement centerpiece, a table runner, some tabletop lanterns, and mini Christmas trees, for starters. Step outside the box when setting your table - mix in some nontraditional colors, try a more eclectic approach, just have fun with it!

Lanterns are a great addition to your holiday decorations. Beautiful for anywhere in the home, lanterns are perfect on the table, floor, or mantel. By incorporating lanterns, you create a timeless, festive look. You can also jazz up your lanterns by filling them with Christmas decorations!
4. MANTEL CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Creating the perfect Christmas mantel should be high on your to-do list this season! Start by laying a foundation with a beautiful garland. From there, add variety and height by stacking your favorite Christmas books and arranging some wood candle holders for a farmhouse touch. Fill in empty spaces with a steeple lantern and some fun light-up Christmas houses.
5. IT'S TIME TO COUNTDOWN
What better way to feel like a kid again, than by displaying an advent calendar to count down the days until Santa arrives? Try making your own with a wood ladder, small craft bags, and some yarn. You can even find fun and quirky styled advent calendars or countdown blocks for the kids to enjoy!

What would Christmas be if we didn’t think of the fun decorations for the kids? Style a mailbox in a playroom the living room for the kiddos to send off their letters to Santa. Stock up on fun and meaningful ornaments for them to decorate the Christmas tree with, or even let them create a small town with gingerbread houses!
8. SPREAD SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER TO YOUR LIVING ROOM FURNITURE
You know one can never have too many throw pillows, especially if they are holiday themed! Mix in different sizes, holiday characters, classic Christmas plaids, and pillows sets.
9. CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS FOR UNDER THE TREE
You can style so much more than just presents under your tree - try different Christmas skirts to shake up your holiday setup. Add character with a burlap or plaid print. For a farmhouse feel, incorporate a touch galvanized metal.
