Christmas Decorating Ideas

Christmas decorating goes wrong in two directions. Either the tree gets everything and the rest of the house stays bare, or every surface fills up until none of it stands out. Here you’ll find tree decorating ideas and colour schemes, wreaths and front door displays, mantels and tablescapes, and room by room ideas for the parts of the house that usually get forgotten. There’s also advice for small spaces, rentals, and storing it all so next December starts easier than this one did.

If the house feels half decorated, the fix is usually one more spot rather than more on the tree. A garland on the stair rail, something on the kitchen windowsill, a bowl of greenery in the hall. Three or four small touches spread through the house read as fully decorated far more than piling everything into one room ever will.
