Christmas Home Decorating Ideas -

If red and green is too traditional, then feel free to consider any other non-traditional Christmas color palettes. Having in mind the color palette you want to incorporate into your Christmas home design will help with deciding the color of your Christmas tree, table runner, table toppers, and any other accessories. 

Layer, layer, layer! The more layers of accessories you have, the better. Tall candlesticks, small candles, picture frames in all sizes. Make sure to leave the bigger items towards the back, so the eye can easily move around. Do this on the mantel above the fireplace for example. 

Can't find a table runner that looks good in the dining room or on the kitchen island? No problem! Use a garland as your table runner. Make sure to keep the size of your garland in proportion with your dining table or kitchen island. Now you've got yourself an easy and festive table centerpiece. Your dining room and kitchen will be the most used areas of your home, so make sure every corner looks festive! 

Need more glam? Mix and match metals of your choice. Copper for example can make any accessory stand out. Search for minimalist copper Christmas accessories and place them in each room. 

 Incorporate nature! We can get so wound up on buying too many artificial Christmas decorations that we tend to forget that nature is by far more aesthetically pleasing than any man-made product. Liven up your space by stylizing with tree logs, pine cones, cinnamon sticks, birch tree branches, succulents, firewood, evergreen branches, poinsettias, star anise, magnolia leaves and others.
