Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can finally move on to celebrating Christmas in agreement. Many people have already started (or even finished) decorating for Christmas, but if you need some ideas to get started or a little inspiration on how to finish your decorating, this is the list for you! Take a look at some of my mom's Christmas decorations, all pictures are of her Christmas decorating skills!
1. Christmas Pillows and Blankets
Christmas pillows can immediately make any room Christmassy. Couches and chairs are usually focal points of rooms, so adding pillows and blankets to make them Christmas-themed, makes the room instantly Christmas-themed as well! Pillows and blankets are also super easy to find in hundreds of patterns, textures, and sizes! Also, your pets will love you!
2. Vase Fillers
If you have vases, lanterns, or any clear holders in your house already, add some Christmas-colored vase fillers to instantly put them in the spirit of the season! You can buy vase fillers or make your own from whatever you have, just as long as they're red, green, white, gold, or a combination. Even blue can be winter-themed!
3. Signs
Signs can be so cute and so easy to make a room Christmassy. Depending on the sign it can be as loud or as subtle as you want! Go big and with reds and greens or go small with neutral colors and just a Christmas quote! You can never have too many signs, so get a combination of signs to spice up your rooms!
4. Lights
Lights are associated with Christmas automatically. So, if you need to make your room look a bit more Christmassy, just add lights! Find things to wrap them around or lay them on a shelf and decorate on top of them!
5. Trees
There's an odd stigma that people are expected to only have one Christmas tree, but that's just not the case. You can have your one main tree and put your gifts beneath it, but smaller ones make for excellent decorations, because like lights, trees are also associated with Christmas.
6. Bulbs in Bowls
When in doubt, find a cute bowl, even if it itself is not Christmas, and add some Christmas things to it. This, I think, is one of my mom's favorite things to do because of how easy it is and how cute it turns out! Red and green bells, marbles, or ornaments with some lights, fabric, or small garland make for adorable decorations or centerpieces!
7. Garland
Garland can be a pain to put up, but once you do it's so worth it! Garland can be cute and Christmassy on its own, but adding lights, tinsel, or garland makes it perfect!
8. Seriously, Add Pillows
Even if they aren't on your couch, pillows are excellent and cozy decorations. If you have window seats or places to put pillows that aren't couches, beds, or chairs, go for it! Window clings are also a very simple and decorative option, though! Especially if you have a big window that's a focal point to a room, window clings could be a great option!
