Christmas Decorating is one of the holidays, other than fall, that I enjoy decorating my home for. Even though I’m not a huge fan of the snow and cold weather, I love having decorative snow covered decor or Christmas Decor around my home. Usually I decorate my home for Christmas after Thanksgiving, but this year I was excited to start switching out my fall decor and did it a few days before Thanksgiving.
When I decorate my home I have certain areas that I just swap my decor with during the different seasons. I do this because it makes my home still look decorated and nice, but not feel cramped or overdone with all of the decor. Check out below how I simply decorate my home for the Christmas Season, even without a tree!
Pin me for later! 🙂
Simple Christmas Decorating (My Home Tour)
My husband and I don’t usually put up a Christmas tree. We have the space for one, but with it just being the both of us right now we decided that we don’t feel the need to decorate our home with a tree. Plus we have a couple of cats and you know how cats love trees! LOL. I think trees are pretty and when I was a kid my parents would put one up for us to decorate and it was always fun!
Even though we don’t have a tree during the Christmas seasons though, doesn’t mean that our home still can’t feel like Christmas. Whether you put up a tree in your home, don’t have the space for a tree or are like us and don’t feel the need to. You can still simply decorate your home for Christmas and still give your home some holiday cheer. Here is how I simply Decorate my home Christmas.
Front Door
I always start with my front door, when it comes to decorating my home for the different seasons. Wreaths not only add some charm to the season that you are decorating for but also adds a warm and homecoming feeling before you set your foot through the front door.
Living Room
In my living room I have a couple windows that I love to add some Christmas greenery on to add some winter/Christmas charm. I just lay it on top to give my living room a warm, comfortable feel. If you are looking for a way to subtly add some Christmas/winter decor into your home, then try doing something like this to your windows.
Another simple Christmas decorating way that I like to do in my living room is to place a wooden Christmas sign on top of a book and add a nice pine needle in the tray with a candle.
I have a rustic pitcher that I got from Wal-Mart that I added some snow covered pine needles and cranberries into. This is one of my most favorite pieces in my living room.
For my living room, I also have a nice furniture piece that I use as an entryway. I added some more snow covered pine needles along with a blessed sign.
Kitchen
In my Kitchen I have a small decorative shelf that I like to add some vases during different times of the seasons. For Christmas this year I decided to add some wall art with some trees, some pine cones and some red berries underneath.
My small coffee bar is where I have all the fun! I added a small wooden house, along with a little espresso cup on my tier tray with a couple more berries inside.
Next to my tier tray I added one stick of pinecones in front of some more pine needles.
Spare Bedroom
One of my spare bedrooms I only added a few Christmas things on my bookshelf. In a glass jar that I found at a thrift store I added some small pine needles with some twine with beads that I had made.
I leaned this Merry Christmas sign that is in my printables library against a pitcher.
Bathroom
Of course, I have to add some Christmas charm on my bathroom shelves! I love owls so I of course had to keep him.
I had to add some fun red colors into my bathroom, even though I am mostly a neutral kinda girl. I really liked how it adds some fun pop of color. To top it off I added a golden covered pinecone next to the flowers.
Because of me keeping the owl, I decided to add next to him a small branch with pinecones along it.
I found these cute houses at Michaels last year at their Christmas end sale and I had to grab it! I thought it was way too cute to pass up and I love how they add a little charm to my bathroom shelves.
Downstairs Sink
We have a downstairs sink that comes in handy but sometimes I am unsure of what to do with it. I don’t normally decorate the sink downstairs but this year I decided that I was going to do something with it.
Again I added some snow covered pine needles into a ceramic jug to help with a lot of the empty spaces on the countertop.
I then added a wooden sign with some greenery laying next to it.
The last little wooden house I had, I decided to add on this downstairs shelf as well. I also couldn’t have it all by itself so I added another golden pinecone.
Master Bedroom
Last, but not least on simple Christmas Decorating. In our master bedroom, I don’t have a ton of winter or Christmas decor. I just decided to place this nice sign up by our bed. I love that it has pops of red with the sign, so that it matches our red throw pillows.
On our bed I added pops of red plaid and then added a small white tree throw pillow to make it feel more like winter and Christmas.
Last but not least, I threw a seasonal throw blanket on the end of our bed.
How Do You Subtly Decorate for Christmas?
I hope that you have found some inspiration on how you can simply decorate your home for Christmas this year! But maybe you are wondering about simple ways you can subtly decorate for Christmas.
If you are, then here are 10 Ideas on how you can do that.
Wreath
Adding wreaths is a subtle way that you can decorate for Christmas. You can do this by either adding one to your front door like I did or you can hang a small wreath on windows inside your home.
Christmas Candles
Another way to do this is to burn some Christmas candles in your home. If you don’t normally decorate for Christmas or don’t have a ton of Christmas decorations, then burning some Christmas candles in your home will allow your home to smell like the holidays without you putting a ton of effort into decorating your home.
Small Christmas Tree
You can also add a small Christmas tree if you are wanting to put up a tree but don’t want a big one and are subtly trying to decorate your home for Christmas. Small Christmas trees are an easy way to add Christmas in your home without having to take up living room space that you don’t have.
Pine Cones
Another thing you can add into your Christmas Decorating this year, is some pine cones. Pine cones are an easy way to implement not only winter vibes but Christmas vibes as well. If you are looking to subtly add Christmas into your home, then pine cones are the way to go.
Christmas Blankets
Use some Christmas colored throw blankets in your home as well. Lay a Christmas blanket either on your bed or on your living room couch to add some Christmas into your home.
Christmas Throw Pillows
Seasonal throw pillows are a very simple, subtle way to add the different seasons into your home as well. You can do this by throwing a pillow on your couch or even on your bed to make your bedroom feel festive, without a ton of things going on.
Wall Art
Adding a few wall art signs into your home is another great option to simply decorate for the Christmas season.
Red or Green Vases
Vases are another great decor to add into your home. Try adding some red or green vases around your home to give your home the festive and Christmassy feel. I love vases and they are so easy to implement into your everyday decor, as well.
Greenery
Greenery comes in all kinds of different forms, you can either decorate your home with some fun garland and hang them up on your windows, across your table runner or if you have stairs, on your stairs.
Just remember to have fun when it comes to decorating your home and you don’t have to have a ton of Christmas decorations to make your home feel festive and ready for the holidays.
Christmas Towels
Last but not least on how you can subtly decorate your home for Christmas is by adding some decorative seasonal towels either in your kitchen or to hang up in your bathroom. Using decorative towels are another simple trick that you can use to add the season into your home.
Try hanging some Christmas towels either in your bathroom or in your kitchen and see how you can subtly decorate your home. I hope that you enjoyed this post and that these 10 ideas gave you ideas on how you can implement simple Christmas decor into your home.
