10 Christmas Decoration Ideas

1. Ladders Are In

Place a ladder in a room and decorate it with your festive decor to create a fabulous Christmas display.

You can add cards, decorations, and even create an advent calendar. Use muslin and ribbons to create craft bags and also add your children’s homemade decorations to make it personalised for your family. 

2. Co-ordinated Wrap

If you wrap your gifts and place them under your tree, why not consider wrapping them in paper to coordinate with the room your tree sits in? 

They will look extra special because they coordinate. It’s a simple idea, but it has a huge impact.

3. Blankets For Tablecloths

Who would have thought to switch out your traditional table cloth with a plaid blanket for an instant Christmassy effect? 

It’s easy to pick up plaid blankets for a reasonable price these days, and once you’ve finished using them as a table cloth, simply wash them and use them to warm your toes. 

Just make sure that they don’t slide around too much by placing some rubber matting underneath or something similar.

4. Get Creative With Your Advent Calendars

Advent calendars don’t have to be small pieces of cardboard stuck to the wall. You can get creative and make your own. 

Aside from the ladder-style advent calendar already mentioned you could consider turning a garland into one. All you need to do is attach some ribbon, and then hang containers from the ribbon (such as little tin buckets) labelled with the day of the month. Then fill them up with goodies.  

5. Decorate Other Rooms

Christmas decorations should not be reserved only for the places your guests will go, or for the main room of the house. 

Use mini wreaths and garlands in the kitchen or guest bathroom and really go to town in the bedroom. Use plaid blankets on the bed, festive lights, garlands over your headboard and even a Christmas tree in the bedroom.  Trust us – you’ll love it.
