Homemade Snow Globes
Making something really original for your house is one of the pleasures of Christmas decoration. Make your own snow globes this year. Use cloches or glass canisters as the foundation. Add some fake snow to it, such as glitter, felt strips, or fluffy batting. Next, add ornaments, Christmas figurines, and perhaps a string of twinkle lights that run on batteries.

DIY Advent Calendar
Use an Advent calendar to add more excitement (and sweetness) to your Christmas countdown. Extra points for creating and filling up the calendar yourself!
Mount tins on a wooden ring to create a do-it-yourself version similar to ours. After that, decorate the lids and stuff the tins with little toys, stickers, or sweets. After that, hang it up.

Christmas Card Garland
Do you still have the holiday cards from last year? Christmas cards can be upcycled and used as décor. First, create a basic garland. Cut out rounds from the old cards using a large paper punch (you can use patterned scrapbook paper as an addition). Join circles with glue along a piece of colored yarn or baker’s twine. Our stylists advise you to wrap this handmade garland over a railing or hang it along your chimney.

Christmas Village
Cardboard Christmas towns are returning! Create a new town from scratch or arrange your collection that has been stored in the attic: Petite towns can be found at many department stores and home décor stores, but antique stores also have original vintage items. Add a few strings of twinkling lights, small bottlebrush trees, and various miniatures to finish off your idea.

Evergreen Accents
Adding that lovely seasonal scent to your house is part of Christmas decorating. Many people associate that with the scent of evergreen. Wherever possible, use fresh pine or cedar; add fragrances from candles to enhance it. You may also use spices and citrus to make stovetop potpourri.

Balsams in Baskets
We adore man-made trees. They are much easier to decorate for Christmas, and they last a lot longer than fresh ones. The trunk’s obvious fakeness is the only negative aspect. The base of an artificial tree can be easily concealed by our set stylists by nestling it inside a basket. Apply this technique to both large and small trees.

Christmas Music Display
This time of year, you might have your holiday Spotify playlist playing nonstop, but do not forget your records. A few holiday-themed albums can truly add a festive feel and appearance to your house. You can showcase your impeccable taste by using album covers as décor and putting your most recent listenings on a shelf.

Holiday Linens
During the holidays, give your regular blankets and throw pillows a vacation. Add some festive extras to your sofa to liven it up. These can be extra-cuddly or blatantly holiday.

Disco Decorations
Indeed, disco We are embracing the design trend of Christmas wholeheartedly. Holiday sparkle is elevated to a whole new level with this look. Disco ball tree ornaments or a few baubles placed in a centerpiece will add some glitz. The numerous mirrors will make your string lights shine even more brilliantly.

Easy Card Display
Do you have too many holiday messages on your refrigerator door? Present these cards in an enjoyable and joyous manner. Draw a tree outline on your wall using colorful washi tape. After that, adhere the card “ornaments.”

Ornament Displays
When it comes to ornamentation, the tree is by no means the limit. For a simple centerpiece, Taste of Home stylists arrange them in bowls, vases, or other containers. However, since nobody wants to pry tiny glass fragments out of their carpeting, pick up ornaments that are shatterproof for this task.
12 / 30
Cookie Cutter Wreath
Repurpose your rusted or dented cookie cutters into a festive kitchen wreath if they should really be retired. In order to create a wreath shape, glue all of the holiday scrapbook paper to the back of each cutter so that the design shows through. You can use a bow to add flair or hang it as is.

Coffee Bar Decor
Ginger-spiked coffee and peppermint mochas are in right now. Decorate the coffee station in your kitchen to go with the current brewing theme. This could entail adding seasonal coffee creamers, napkins, or holiday mugs.

Surprising Color Scheme
Typical Christmas color schemes are red and green, silver and gold. However, why not risk it and enjoy Christmas the way you want? Our favorite Christmas tree color is pink, which goes well with the season’s metallics, but you can also try blue, lavender, or even black!

Silly Christmas Traditions
The holidays are all about traditions, even silly ones, even though we adore the elegance of white lights and fresh pine boughs. Christmas pickles are a common tradition. We guarantee that a lone pickle ornament will not significantly disturb your expertly designed tree.

Gingerbread Village
Hold up—decor that’s actually edible? Yep! Festive gingerbread houses are the perfect accessory for your holiday buffet table. (And they make a delicious post-party snack for the host.)
PS: You will not want to eat these creations if you put them out for longer than a day or two.

Fresh Wreath
Your home will smell better and have more texture with a wreath made of fresh pine, eucalyptus, or even herbs. Create your own or customize one from the store. Any wreath you have at home can be made more fragrant by adding pomanders, which are oranges studded with whole cloves, and other citrus.

Wrapping Paper Table Runner
Take out a roll of wrapping paper instead of spending money on a new holiday tablecloth! Any tabletop, whether it is in the dining room or on the coffee table, looks cheerier with a piece of Christmas paper.
19 / 30
Christmas Creche
An essential component of Christmas décor is nativities or creche scenes. There are many different types of nativity sets available today to fit your decor and taste.

Kitchen Linens
We know you will spend a lot of time in the kitchen this season, whether it is for Christmas dinner preparation or cookie baking. Use kitchen mats and Christmas towels to liven up your area. They will look fantastic with a few accent pieces hung on the wall or tucked into the corners of counters (like the cookie cutter wreath we mentioned earlier!).

Small Natural Trees
Do you like the thought of having a real tree but do not want to pick up needles? Invest in a smaller model; consider Charlie Brown. With much less mess, a small fir tree in a pot or stand will provide ambience and scent.
22 / 30
Ladder Tree
A do-it yourselfer would love this decoration. Put a lot of twinkle lights on a wooden ladder. Then hang a lot of decorations with fishing line. This is a great way to add height and light to any room of your home without having to chop down another Christmas tree.
23 / 30
Door Bells
On your entrance door, hang bells. That cheerful jingle jangle will be heard every time visitors drop by. Bells can be twisted into garlands, tied up with bows, or woven into wreaths.
24 / 30
Vintage Dishes
Christmas decorating always brings back fond memories. Bring out your treasured family memories and embrace these emotions. The ideal place to start is with Grandma’s holiday recipes, such as these vintage Pyrex eggnog cups.

Unmatched Stockings
Do not forget to prepare your stocking for Saint Nick! Personalized stockings are a wonderful way to celebrate the uniqueness of family members over the holidays. Do not worry if you do not have a fireplace mantel, our stylists advise. As an alternative, hang them from coat racks or railings.
26 / 30
Cheery Chalkboard
Use your kitchen chalkboard as Christmas décor instead of using it for grocery lists and meal planning during the holidays. Use chalk pens to write the lyrics to your favorite holiday song or sketch a scene with snow.
27 / 30
Teacup Trees
Making these adorable centerpieces does not require you to be an expert crafter. Simply take out your most treasured holiday mugs (or get some at the thrift store) and place tiny bottlebrush trees inside. Show them alone (perfect for your coffee bar) or in a group on a shelf or table.
28 / 30
Minimalist Decor
You do not have to go overboard with your holiday décor. A simple wreath, a string of lights, and wall art with typography are examples of minimal touches that work just as well.
29 / 30
Bedecked Bar
For the holidays, make sure your home bar is stocked. This entails stocking everyone’s preferred alcoholic beverages for Christmas cocktails. Additionally, incorporate festive accents such as twinkle lights, bottlebrush trees, and holiday glassware.

Playful Place Settings
Are you hosting Christmas this year? Decorate the table to fit the occasion. Add some basic details, like these Santa napkin rings, or go overboard. We used glittery craft paper to cut gold belt buckles to create these. then wrapped a red napkin with a black ribbon that had been threaded through.
