The tree is up and the stockings are hung, but you’re craving just a little bit of Christmas magic to turn your home into a warm, welcoming space for family and friends. Whether you’re leaning toward modern or traditional holiday decorating, we have creative decor ideas that will bring a new level of merriment to your home.
Modern Christmas decorating is based on the principle of using simple elements to create a festive atmosphere. It emphasizes a clean, contemporary look with an emphasis on natural materials and neutral color palettes. This style is a great choice for high-traffic areas like the living room or entryway, as it’s easy to keep streamlined and functional.
Start with the big items: Large Christmas trees, wreaths, and garland serve as your anchor pieces and set the stage for your decorating scheme. Once these are in place, you can layer in smaller accents. For example, a modern take on the classic evergreen wreath can feature glass ornaments or fluffy pompoms in a variety of colors and sizes. Blogger Kara Whitten from A Beautiful Mess decked out her mantel with a forest of colorful bottle brush trees for a fun vibe.
Add some metallics: While traditionally red and green, you can also opt for a monochrome theme with black, white, and gold. This color palette is especially easy to implement if your home already features many neutral furniture and accessories, as seen in this dining table design by Layered Lounge.
