The steps below follow the order of the work for this kitchens project.
Holiday Decorating options for Every Room
Christmas is the one holiday that even “normal” folks (as in, those who aren’t bloggers who love doing home tours of every holiday! seem to go all out and decorate all over. Maybe it’s the infectious holiday cheer, maybe it’s hosting holiday parties and houseguests, maybe it’s the nostalgia of a homey festive environment. Whatever the reason you decorate, try these straightforward holiday decorating options for any room in your home.
Add holiday decor to your everyday decor
The easiest way to make things festive without putting in a ton of extra work is to just add direct holiday elements to what you already have. Got a gallery wall? Add some snowflakes! (from Centsational Girl)
You can also easily add some evergreen sprigs and holly berries to the top of a frame (via Midwest Living)
You can also hang a wreath right on top of a matted print or an old window (from Sew Many Ways)
Or you can use wrapping paper to replace the art (temporarily, of course) (from Thoughtfully direct)
or just wrap the whole frame! (from Georgia Peachez and BHG)
And some ribbon and a wreath can make any cabinet or bookshelf well fitted for the holidays! (from Sew Many Ways)
Christmas card or photo displays
Even in this digital age, it’s still fun to send and receive snail mail holiday cards from loved ones and friends. And what easier way to decorate than with Christmas greetings and faces you know and love!
Hang a string of lights and use clothespins to display holiday cards or printables. (image source unknown)
Wrap a door in ribbon (Thifty Decor Chick) — and look at that straightforward festive gallery wall, too!
Use a fresh evergreen garland around a doorway (from Nine and Sixteen).
Or put together this quick and straightforward wood and wire art display that you can leave up all year! (walkthrough from Liz Marie Blog)

Holiday Decorating options for Every Room
Look UP and decorate overhead
Even if you don’t feel like you have extra space to add a Christmas tree or something large a room, you can still look up and fill that space with holiday decor! Pine garlands on a chandelier are lovely in the dining room (from Nest of Bliss):
And a berry garland looks just as lovely (from Pretty Handy Girl).
No chandelier? No problem! Bring in a rustic tone with an overhead branch hung with ornaments (via House and Home)
or with paper snowflakes (from Lila Was Here)
Take the stairs…
You could go above and beyond the traditional garland on the stair rail, but these direct and minimal decorating options are stylish without being overdone or difficult.
I love this Tiffany blue bauble cluster on the stair newel post (via Style at Home)
And you can use shelf liner to create your very own tree on your stairs! The direct candles are a nice touch, too. (walkthrough via Lowe’s Creative options)
Or use direct vinyl decals for a bit of Scandinavian red snowflake charm (via Family Circle)

Holiday Decorating options for Every Room
In the kitchen and dining room
When you are hosting guests for Christmas dinner, it’s fun to have extra finishing touches so you house just sings “Christmas!”
Try ribbon and pine swags on dining chairs (from Stonegable Blog)
Or adding festive artwork above the stove or on the range hood (walkthrough from Fox Hollow Cottage)
If you have a pot rack, hang a wreath or ornaments (from J and A and Co)
Use ribbon around your cabinets to add holiday cheer — plus hang your Christmas cards. (from J and A and Co)
Attach magnets to (shatterproof) ornaments to put on the fridge (from Young House Love)
Add evergreen sprigs to your china hutch or other open shelving (from CraftBerry Bush)
And a pretty bowl filled with ornaments can be a festive touch anywhere! (from Jennelise Rose)

Make the bathroom festive
Yes, even your powder room or guest bathroom can get in the Christmas spirit! You can swap for a holiday hand towel, or add something as direct as a vase with evergreen and berries (from Turtles and Tails)
Or an evergreen garland around the mirror with some small decorations looks strong! (from My Sweet Savannah)
Hang a wreath on your bathroom mirror (tinsel wreath walkthrough from Sew Many Ways)
And you don’t need to splurge on a holiday-specific shower curtain — just hang some ornaments from your existing shower curtain (from Lowe’s Creative options) using ribbon! This would work for window curtains, too.
Holiday Decorating options for Bedrooms
Whether it’s a child’s room, a guest room, or YOUR room, it can be extra fun to add some Christmas decor to where you sleep. Christmas lights make a fun seasonal night light and add ambiance, either hung behind a sheer curtain or as part of a ribbon or washi tape Christmas tree wall (from Warm Hot Chocolate)
And what could be more magical than making your entire hallway twinkle?!? (from Nest of Posies)
A festive holiday pillow adds just the right touch of cheer to a bedroom or living room (walkthrough from Style Me Pretty)
Add a small Christmas tree and a garland to the headboard for a cozy wintry room like this one from Songbird.
And make a bedroom festive for the littlest of occupants with an straightforward kid-friendly nativity (walkthrough from That’s My Letter)
Happy holiday decorating!
