However lavish or simple your Christmas style is, there's an idea here that will help you bring the beauty of the holiday to every corner of your home. Instead of blowing a fuse, opt for simple, classic, and rustic holiday décor. Beautiful evergreen wreaths secured using simple ribbons tied into bows lend an elegant and festive appearance to this white farmhouse. Achieve the same classic look at your own home by hanging simple matching evergreen wreaths on your doors and windows.
Convert Glass Bottles Into Candle Holders
A true Southern decorator knows just how important a well-wrapped gift is, and you will never catch us wrapping our gifts in computer paper. For family gatherings, make the exterior of your gifts look just as good as the presents that lie inside. The bonus is that, until you give the gifts to their recipients, they will add class to your living room while they wait under your tree. Pair preprinted gift tags that reinforce your decor scheme with boxes wrapped in chocolate and metallic papers to add character under the tree. If the red and green color palette isn't your thing, dried fruit garlands are a great festive alternative. This guest room by designer Maggie Dillon features a garland of dried oranges hung around the headboard to match the colors of the room.
Wall-Mounted Tree
Topped with a faux cardinal, this seasonal lighting solution helps introduce your Christmas decorating theme right at the front door. For a red-carpet look, create a clever runner with tartan fabric and green burlap that spans from the door to the steps. Hold the runner in place with heavy-duty double-sided tape from the hardware store.
Edge With Garlands
The limes accentuate the green tones from the branches and connect them to the base, a large pewter tray that offers a bit of shimmer without the shine of silver. Filled with apples and cherries, ours "light up" this buffet with red-and-green holiday style. A red table scarf, cut from $1-a-yard burlap, amps up the color.
Hang Your Stockings on Your Christmas Tree
Place evergreens into bottles and fill with water, adding a few fresh cranberries for a pop of color. Rub sticky candle wax to the bottom of a taper candle and place it in the bottle opening. Then, just remember to replace the water every few days to keep greens looking fresh. Eye-catching amaryllis bulbs dipped in colored wax mark a holiday trend; look for them at garden centers or online. Of course, the traditional method of growing bulbs in glass forcing vases continues to appeal with classic beauty and repeat seasons. Here, a miniature wreath of fresh greens looks lovely hanging from a display shelf, and a tiny present tucked among white tableware adds more charm.

Update the pieces with modern accessories, such as a pair of mod white lamps, which help a traditional piece of furniture blend seamlessly with more modern tastes. Stems of pussy willow adds some height to a simple arrangement of pine branches with cones, displayed in an antique blue pickle jar. (Find these online or at thrift stores.) A turquoise ribbon complements the colored jar and the decorative Christmas trees.
Make Arrangements Out of Greenery
Layer green and white linens, seasonal candles, red flowers, and small dishes filled with cranberries for a setting that will help your anticipation grow. Let the celebratory spirit linger by pairing sunny, sturdy amaryllis with poinsettias. Place the display on an entry console or a sideboard as an alternative to a tiny tabletop tree. These potted pretties also make thoughtful gifts for friends and neighbors. Repot an amaryllis and a mini poinsettia in a shallow vessel, and then cover the soil with moss. Snugly nestle pomegranates at the base of the flowers, and add berry-covered branches for extra pops of red.

Keep an eye out for temple bells at year-round flea markets, or order them online from a specialty store. Attach them to one another using wire and adds sprigs of fresh holly where they meet. Experiment with different toppers using various seasonal greenery and flowers. Bells are a classic decorating alternative to the typical star.
Add Tinsel to the Tree
Accent with contrasting ornaments and tiny battery-powered fairy lights. Our favorite way to light up any season is a brilliant array of paper luminaries. Line them up along your front walkway, along your driveway, or scatter them on your porch for a bright, twinkling Christmas display that's so simple and affordable to pull off. You can buy premade luminaries in bulk online, or make your own using white paper bags, pebbles, and battery-powered LED candle lights.
In order to protect your favorite furniture from watermarks, make sure you equip your guests with the proper defense, like these DIY coasters. Choose a pattern of fabric that best fits your theme, such as a festive tartan print. Cut the fabric into small coaster-sized squares using fabric shears, and then slide the squares into photo coasters. Across this room's open-air archway is nestled another plush stool and mirror, identical to the arrangement pictured above. The matching pairs of items add symmetry to a room, and help expand a smaller space. These stools are functional, as they can also act as extra seating for Christmas entertaining.
Save your wallet by displaying your tree in something that you already have lying around your house – a simple, natural woven basket. A basket's neutral color and versatility allow it to coordinate with virtually any Christmas décor you choose. A framed collage of pages from expired passports sets an adventurous backdrop for a colorful tree decorated with garland and accents inspired by far-flung locales.
Using sturdy floral clippers, cut off the bottom half of a pinecone. Hot glue the bottom of the pinecone to a round wooden disk, then glue a ribbon loop on the back for hanging. Thread a needle and sturdy monofilament through leftover pantry items like popcorn, dried fruits, bay leaves or candy to create a one-of-a-kind garland.
To avoid over-decoration, choose a neutral ribbon color that is close to the color of the table, and wrap loosely. Add festive centerpieces, like spray painted pine cones, and metallic family heirlooms to add sparkle to the elegant decoration. Look for out-of-the-way display areas, such as the top of a chest, to add sparkle and shine. Whether your vignette stays up year-round—like this collection of mercury glass—or is seasonal, keep the fluffing simple so it doesn't compete with the collection.
The mirrors help visually enlarge the small space to open it for plenty of holiday entertaining. A wooden vessel creates a more relaxed, natural look while also hiding the florist foam, which holds the magnolias in place. To make this asymmetrical foliage arrangement, choose the longest branch first, one that reaches far enough to one side to give it a horizontal shape.
There is no need to reinvent and repurchase your Christmas tree decorations every year. Instead, stick with the familiar and beloved ornaments that your family has collected and made over the year. Each unique ornament will tell a story, and your Christmas tree will act as a great conversation piece during holiday gatherings. In lieu of the traditional reds and greens of holiday flowers, use bright peacock feathers on your mantel as a statement piece. First, select a neutral container for the feathers – we chose this concrete plant box as a solid foundation.
Quickly take your everyday living area to Christmas village by swapping out your basic throw pillows for festive, holiday-themed pillows. This quick fix is an inexpensive and easy way to redecorate a room and change the entire room's look for the Christmas season. Find pillows at a local interior design shop, or whip up your own from festive holiday fabric.
