‘Tis the season to be merry! Christmas is just around the corner and our excitement knows no bounds! Whether you are hosting friends or family, you are surely going to want to explore some decor ideas to set the festive mood. Livspace stylists are here to make your Christmas at home a memorable one with these stunning Christmas decoration ideas. You can even pull them off over Christmas Eve! Check them out.

Living room Christmas decoration ideas

#1: Good ‘ol red and green

While a contemporary Christmas decor inspiration looks elegant, nothing beats the traditional red and green colours! Get green sofa covers and throw in Christmas-themed pillows to create a merry ambience. Holly, garlands, mistletoe – go all out in welcoming the Christmas spirit into your home!

#2: Go contemporary with this Christmas theme

Most of us live in modern apartments, where bright, festive colours might clash with the existing decor. Livspace stylist, Sunanda Pandey recommends you keep it simple by sticking to the basics. Make the Christmas tree the focal point of your living room by decking it up with pretty Christmas fairy light decorations. Keep the rest of the room uncomplicated and sophisticated with holly, bells and garlands.

#3: Keep it grey

If your home has grey walls and want to avoid the traditional red and green Christmas aesthetic, choose silver ornaments, bows and ferns so that your interiors are in sync. You can add in a bit of gold decor and some warm lights to create a striking ambience.

Dining room Christmas decoration ideas

#1: A LIT affair

When it comes to the festive season, all you need is some gorgeous lighting choices to glam up your home. This year, we say go with a subtle and intimate theme with candles as your versatile lighting option. For instance, give your chandeliers that extra oomph by placing some pretty candles on them or use unconventional candle holders to take your Christmas decor to the next level!

#2: A minimal LIT affair

If not candles, you can give your dining rooms permanent Christmas vibes with twinkling ceiling light fixtures that scream holiday cheer! Sprinkle some Christmas magic on your tables and windows with adorable seasonal plants. Of course, do not hesitate to put your tree in there too!

#3: Mistletoe or mini ferns?

The best thing about Christmas is that you can add just a little bit of greens and your Christmas table is ready. A bit of ferns, mistletoes, fir on a planter and a beautiful chandelier is enough to bring home the Christmas cheer.

#4: Just a touch of Papa Christmas

The same goes for this rustic dining table; the only need here are those red planters because green and wood are both earthy tones. A pop of red is always welcome, right?

#5: A white Christmas?

Are you a fan of industrial or Scandinavian room interiors? Then decor may not be your concern because just a Christmas tree can bring in all the charm that your room needs. Every bit of colour stands out on a Scand or industrial background.

Kitchen Christmas decoration ideas

#1: Jingle bells and potluck smells

Who says the living room gets to have all the tinsel fun? Take a break from the norm and put your Xmas tree in your kitchen. With red glossy finish cabinets, your Christmas tree will feel right at home.

#2: Sprigs of green

Fan of timeless white or cream kitchens? How about adding a bit of Christmas colour on the shelves or the hob? They are sure to pop out and give your home the jolly cheers!

#3: Rustic and red

Rustic backdrops go so well with the Christmas red; just use red accents sparingly throughout your space with candles, flowers, or even plates and garlands.

#4: Even the right planters can do the magic!

Whether you have a small galley kitchen or a large country kitchen, a few red planters or Christmas plants can put you in holiday spirit. Declutter your countertops and make space for garlands of pine, fir or cedar.

Balcony Christmas decoration ideas

Christmas wall decor #1: A white Christmas part II

It might not be possible to jet off to some snow-covered paradise to enjoy a white Christmas. However, you can deck up your balcony wall with DIY Christmas decorations made of beautiful white baubles. With some pristine candles in elegant candleholders and white Christmassy cushions with bits of greenery, your white Christmas-themed balcony is ready!

Christmas wall decor #2: Deck the balcony with Boughs of Holly

If you are planning a small, private get-together with your loved ones on Christmas, then the balcony is the perfect place to party! Decorating your balcony with wreaths and garlands of holly is a no-fuss and easy-to-implement way to get your balcony Christmas-ready. Add in some fairy lights for a magical touch!

Christmas wall decor #3: Just greens and lights

A detour from the usual Christmas vibes – here’s a Christmas decor idea with no Xmas trees! Just add a string of bulbs on your balcony walls and a few Christmas plants here and there.

Create these DIY Christmas decorations on your door or your foyer wall with just a bunch of twigs, Christmas ornaments or even pictures. Stick or hang this Xmas tree on the wall and reuse it next year!

Wreaths on doors are a timeless Christmas tradition and you can add meaningful elements to it such as family heirlooms, handmade Christmas ornaments, or natural elements found in your backyard.

Christmas tree decorations #3: A simple and elegant welcome

When you think about Christmas decor, you would, in general, consider living room and dining area decorations. This Christmas, give your foyer the love it deserves with minimal but tasteful festive elements with some simple table candles and a wreath of holly on the wall.

Here’s another foyer Christmas decoration idea with just a couple of Xmas trees and lights. Throw in some wreaths and silver Christmas home decor items on the walls, and if your stairs are visible from the area, drape some garlands along the bannister to create a seamless look.

Staircase Christmas decoration ideas

Christmas decorations #1: Intertwine the ferns

Why should your stairways be left out of the Christmas cheer, eh? As we said earlier, drape some garlands on the railings with tiny fairy Christmas light decorations to create a mystical getaway in your house.

Christmas decorations #2: Stairway soiree

If you think garlands are too mainstream, we say hang your gift boxes or bags on the staircase. Remember to tag them and let your children go wild searching for their presents.

Christmas tree decorations

Stringing Christmas light decorations is often the classic way to add a warm and twinkling glow to your Xmas tree but for some personalised emotional touch to it, you can add these Christmas tree decorations:

Handmade Christmas decorations #1: The usual ornaments

Baubles, angel ornaments, little gift boxes, leaves, snowflakes, bells, candles, stars, phew! The list of Christmas ornaments you can use is infinite. You can even hang your toddler’s little handmade snowman on your Xmas tree decorations!

Christmas decoration items #2: Crocheted decor

Even if you are a beginner crocheter, you can easily make some simple Christmas tree ornaments. You will need yarn, a crochet hook and a tapestry needle. You may also want to use some embellishments, such as beads, buttons or sequins.

Christmas decoration items #3: Teddies or Santa?

Hang small stuffed animals like teddy bears, reindeer, snowmen or even Santa or the elves for a traditional touch. Look for small figurines that can be easily hung on the tree branches.

Christmas decoration items #4: Toys in red

Miniature cars and trucks from the branches create a miniature winter wonderland. Look for red Christmas ornaments featuring popular holiday characters like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or Frosty the Snowman.

6 tips for Christmas home decor ideas

• Keep it clean and neutral – You don’t have to stick to red and green for a festive mantel display. Keep your palette neutral, then add in metallic accents. Gold feels celebratory, but still cool enough to not cramp your normal decor style.
• Keep it simple – You don’t have to go bold to make a statement. A simple garland on the window and wreath is enough to make it modern and chic.
• Classic always scores – There’s something about classic string lighting and Xmas decor complementing the furniture to make it aesthetically appealing.
• Layer, layer, layer – Decorate using objects of different heights. Start by building the table with tall candlesticks, pine cones and green garlands. Don’t forget to deck up your chandelier too.
• Use a ladder – Instead of opening a flimsy cardboard gift box, hang up your stocking on a ladder. Decorated muslin Christmas tree craft bags conceal treats, toys and messages from Santa—and you can fill them again next year, too.
• Decorate your walls – If it just isn’t Christmas without a Christmas tree for you, try DIY Christmas decorations. Just glue greenery to wooden dowels, then stack them on your wall in the shape of an Xmas tree.
