Christmas Decorating Ideas

Simple Decorations for Every Room of your House

I absolutely love decorating for Christmas! It takes several days, and I relish the creative exercise as well as the beauty it brings to our home. And let me be clear: I am a maximalist when it comes to Christmas. I believe that Christmas decor should be cheerful, opulent, and magnificent. None of this minimalist spareness for me!

To that end, I have several easy and inexpensive projects which can bring cheer and beauty to any spot in your home!

Let’s start with these simple bunches of greens which I used on the chandeliers and light fixtures in our kitchen and hallways. I made these from materials I already had on hand (except the ribbon) — some floral picks which I bought after Christmas a few years ago, zip ties, and ribbon. That’s it. I tied one on each of the chandelier lights in the kitchen and on the fixtures in the hallways, too. The same idea could be used on doors, chairbacks — honestly almost anywhere! They are so festive — and they will last for years. But you could also make them from real greenery for a pungent festive punch!
