Decorating for Christmas!

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Christmas décor is red-and-green-adorned everything; from striped wrapping paper and matching ribbons to the tartan tree skirt. While certainly festive, it doesn’t feel very fresh, like say transforming your home into a fantastical winter wonderland. This year, why not keep a neutral colour palette and mix in some shimmers of gold accent pieces, copper barware, and twinkling string lights in various bulb sizes?

Here are a number of pictures that could give you some inspiration towards setting up your Christmas decorations in a way that will make the big day unique and memorable for your friends and family.

Part One of the Christmas Tour goes live on Friday. Until then, let's take another walk down Christmas Memory Lane. This time, dreamy decor in the dining room. Blue & White are forever in my dreams! http://ow.ly/UM3030h3fmt #christmas #christmasdecorating #tistheseason #merryandbright #christmaslights #mybhg #bhgcelebrate

If you’re editing down your Christmas decor, try clustering some trees together for a whimsical little forest. I had set all these aside, trying to determine if they had a spot or would be packed back up and ended up loving the look of my little discarded pile! Happy accidents are the best 😉 http://liketk.it/2tJtR #liketkit @liketoknow.it . . . . . #ltkhome #ltkstyletip #ltkholidaystyle #ltkholidayathome #christmasdecorating #bottlebrushtrees #tistheseason #merryandbright #christmaslights #mybhg #bhgcelebrate #bhghome #mysouthernliving #mysouthernholiday #inspohome #interiorideas #decorator #christmasdecorations #christmasdeco #holidayvibes #holidaytime #christmastrees

Crafting some Christmas decor. Why buy fancy decorations when you can have fun making your own?! All of these pine cones we found on a trip to the park. We lined them all up and counted them. Then we sorted them based on whether they were opened up or still tight. The painting was the best part though!
