20 Festive Christmas Decorating Ideas to Brighten Your Home

Who has time to decorate every part of their house for the holidays between purchasing gifts and preparing the big meal? However, not decorating at all may give you a Scrooge-like reputation. What is the happy medium? Set the mood for the holidays with these simple Easy Christmas decorating ideas that take less than five minutes to put up (really!).

All you'll need to decorate your house for the holidays is a few little details like hanging decorations from the stair rails and creating a festive aroma with cinnamon sticks. Here are some of our favorite ways to get ready for Christmas in under five minutes.

Christmas Decorating Ideas to Brighten Your Home

Decorate the Entrances

Light-up stars, snowflakes, or bulb string lights may be used to decorate a major gateway of your property. This smart design will give your house a pleasant glow and is modest enough to keep up after the holidays are over.

Decorate a Bar Cart

If you have a bar cart, add seasonal details like silver embellishments and a vase filled with winter flowers or leaves (even a grocery store arrangement would suffice!). Allow visitors to assist themselves with glasses and other necessities for simple drinks, and you won't have to play bartender. Whether you're entertaining indoors or outside this year, this approach will work.

Make a Temporary Mantel

Is there no fireplace? It's no issue. Arrange ornamental accents—miniature trees, string lights, or snow globes, for example—before carefully hanging the stockings from the bookshelves.

Darling Clementines

String a clementine and a jingle bell through several lengths of heavy-gauge wire, knotting one end of each (yes, your hands may get a bit sticky). Twist all of the wires together and bind with a big bow. Glue it to a stairwell or your front door.

Take it to the next level

Even if you aren't putting up a complete Christmas tree this year, you may still show off some of your favorite decorations. Hang your most eye-catching decorations from gorgeous ribbons around your house, particularly on the stairwell, to show off your most eye-catching ornaments.

Give a helping hand

Pin stray mittens or pairs your kids have outgrown to lengths of yarn and hang them from a mantle or bookcase. Kids' striped wool socks and knit hats may also be hung.

Bundles of Happiness

Hanging something unusual on the tree, such as a bouquet of aromatic cinnamon sticks, is a good idea. Fresh cinnamon sticks may also be left out in a dish as an easy DIY alternative to standard potpourri.

Simply log in.

This is one blazing fire that isn't too difficult to ignite. To view an old-fashioned fireplace set to (you guessed it!) famous Christmas melodies, just search "Fireplace for Your Home" on Netflix.

Feast for the Eyes

To make a one-of-a-kind table runner, gather a collection of white and silver doilies and tape (or glue) them together. Fill glass vases and huge compotes of varying heights with pinecones for a low-cost winter centerpiece. For added glitz, spray-paint the pinecones gold or silver, or leave them natural.

Treasure on the Seabed

Poinsettias are known for looking like nature's version of the fruitcake. However, they have the ability to make a complex message. The secret is to remove them from their foil-lined containers and place them in attractive vases.

Perfect Letter

Hang your surname's initials in the heart of a wreath to personalize it. In the light, this zinc variant gleams.

Setting the Scene

Make place cards out of old Christmas cards. Punch a hole, tie it with a ribbon, and label it appropriately. Cut them into star shapes and add tissue paper cutouts to match; punch a hole, tie with a ribbon, and label accordingly.

Take a Bow

Finally, a purpose for those bright store-bought bows you keep every year, as well as a craft that the kids can help with. To make a lovely wreath, take a normal paper plate, cut off the center, and glue bows all over it.

Window Treatments

Consider window ledges and empty bookshelves as well as the tree and mantle when decorating for the holidays. Arrange pine boughs in a big vase and decorate with a variety of decorations. Pistachio nuts, winterberries, or red peppercorns may be added to old jars, and a tealight can be placed on top. Make an array of starfish draped with a length of plain red thread for a beach theme.
