Christmas is just around the corner, are you all done decorating your home for Christmas? This is my favorite time of year and it\u2019s always so much fun to decorate for the season. One thing I\u2019ve noticed is how my decorating style has changed over the years. Every year there are few decorating items that don\u2019t make it out of the box. Those items tend to be the things that were \u201ctrending\u201d at the time or things that I bought for very little money that just don\u2019t look good anymore. I didn\u2019t like the idea of having to go out and buy all new Christmas decorations every year, do you?! So, what I started doing was really thinking about what decorating items I can buy for my home that is not a \u201ctrend\u201d and will remain timeless. Really think about your design aesthetic and what pieces will adhere to your aesthetic so you\u2019re not getting tired of something the very next year. Starting with this \u201cbase\u201d of items will really make decorating for Christmas so easy each year, and you\u2019ll have more time to think of some new up-to-the-minute ideas to freshen up your d\u00e9cor! Read on to learn how to decorate for a timeless Christmas <3<\/p>\n

10 Timeless Christmas Decorating Ideas<\/h1>\n

Oh, Christmas Tree<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t decorate for Christmas without a Christmas tree! Well\u2026I guess you can, but why would you want to?! Whether you like to go real or buy faux, you want to have a Christmas tree that looks great in your home. There are so many styles of trees, real or fake. But if you are purchasing a fake tree, I would try to stay away from the unrealistic looking trees and flocked trees. You want to pick out a tree that looks as natural as possible, how you would find them in nature. Other style trees that may be \u201cin\u201d one year can very easily be \u201cout\u201d the following year. Pick out a classic tree that will never look outdated.<\/p>\n

Vintage Ornaments<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

What pairs well with a classic Christmas tree are some classic Christmas ornaments. So, here I don\u2019t think you need to go out and buy actual vintage ornaments. You can look for true vintage in places like thrift stores, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, etc. But another great option is to buy new ornaments that look vintage. A couple years back I found a great deal on a large pack of ornaments at Home Goods, and they had beautiful vintage designs that looked so timeless. I have seen second-hand ornaments with nearly identical designs on them. Feel free to mix your vintage ornaments with your more personal ornaments because you don\u2019t want to lose touch with what\u2019s important to you! At the end of the day, it\u2019s those ornaments that hold memories and your children\u2019s hand-made ornaments that are the most special to you.<\/p>\n

Neutral Stockings<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Stockings hanging from your fireplace, so classic! What is not so classic are the personalized stockings that are 10+ years old that clash with your Christmas decor. Yes, they are very special to us and could be hard to let go. I for one am guilty of this, I have yet to let go of our personalized Christmas stockings. I tell myself, \u201cone day\u201d. But I can admit they don\u2019t go at all with my design aesthetic. If you are not emotionally attached to your stockings, or don\u2019t have any yet, buy ones with a neutral color that will remain timeless in your home.<\/p>\n

Garland Galore<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

I LOVE garland. Adding garland in various places in your home elevates your space for the holidays. I especially love adding garland above door frames. There is something so inviting about walking through a doorway decorated with beautiful greenery.<\/p>\n

Rustic Bells<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

I only recently added rustic bells to my Christmas d\u00e9cor, and I have already found so many uses for them. I love the old-world charm it adds to your space. The ones I have are antique brass and are so lovely!<\/p>\n

Wreaths Please<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Wreaths everywhere! I am one of these people that decorate with wreaths all year long, and I have at least one wreath for every season. Christmas however, I\u2019ve lost count of how many wreaths I have. One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of the holiday season is hang a wreath in front of each window. It adds so much charm to my colonial home, I love it! I also like to add a wreath to my chicken coop because isn\u2019t that just darling?!<\/p>\n

Coordinating Christmas D\u00e9cor<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

I mentioned at the beginning of this post to think about your design aesthetic and the look you would like to achieve for the Christmas season. Once you have nailed that down, carry your style throughout the home. Really try not to mish mash different styles, even if you\u2019re decorating different spaces that are closed off from one another. You want to be able to walk through your home and have one cohesive look.<\/p>\n

Darling Bows<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Bows are definitely a staple in Christmas d\u00e9cor. It wouldn\u2019t be a classic Christmas without bows. With so many styles and colors available, you are sure to find bows that match your design aesthetic. I especially love making simple bows out of velvet ribbon. And don\u2019t forget, Christmas bows don\u2019t have to be red! You can turn any color that matches your style and make it look festive.<\/p>\n

Warm Lighting<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Lighting is personal preference. Some people love the multi colors, and I think it can look very pretty in the right setting. But my personal preference is the warm white lighting. Adding warm lights to your tree and on other things such as garlands, wreaths, etc. can give your home such a nice ambience for the holiday season. There is something magical about a glowing house during this time of year. I often find myself walking around my home at night just to enjoy all the twinkling lights!<\/p>\n

More Trees<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s better than a Christmas tree? Multiple Christmas trees! If you have the space for it, why not add another tree in another room in your home?! I always put a large, real Christmas tree in our living room. And since our dining room is large enough, I put one in there too! The dining room gets a smaller artificial tree, but it still looks amazing once you take the time to fluff it up. In our upstairs hallways, I put a smaller \u201ckids\u201d tree where the kids get to be creative and decorate it whichever way they want to \ud83d\ude0a Don\u2019t have space for multiple or even one Christmas tree? Try a tabletop tree that you can place on an end table, dining table, countertop, wherever you have space! I\u2019ve been seeing some pretty spectacular tabletop tree options and they are so affordable!<\/p>\n
