December invites us to really get into the festive spirit. While the crispness in the air, bundled attire, and our favorite carols get us in the mood, it\u2019s the special decor that captures the essence of winter holidays. Need a little design guidance? We\u2019ve asked some of Decorilla<\/a>‘s top interior designers to share their favorite Christmas decorating ideas to help get your home ready for this season. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Festive Garland<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing simpler than using naturally inspired decor like a garland to add that splash of winter green in your home. Michigan designer, Rachel H. shares the versatility of this holiday decoration. \u201cY<\/span>ou can dress up any surface such as the railing on your staircase, your coffee table, the porch, or the fireplace to make them more festive! You can even dress up a garland more with ornaments and beads. I especially love the look of white lights used with it.\u201d Organic and classic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Christmas <\/b><\/span>Wreathes<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designer and blogger, Eleni P.\u2019s pick for holiday decorating is a historical one. <\/span>Said to have been born in Northern Europe, Italy and Spain in the early 19th century, the Christmas wreath is symbolic of life strength overcoming the forces of winter. \u201c<\/span>I think that a wreath is a simple and understated way to bring a holiday note in a design. There are tons of easy and budget friendly DIY ones like this one by Freckly and Wulff<\/a> you can try, not to mention the endless shopping picks out there.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah, the iconic Christmas tree – <\/span>a true must in holiday decorating. Whether a grandiose focal point of your room or a subtle accent like these LED trees<\/a>, an ornamented tree adds light and cheer to the overall design. Fragrance is also a powerful design element. Enjoying the ritual of bringing one home to decorate with her family, Decorilla Designer, Laura A. also loves the earthy pine scent of a fresh Christmas tree.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Holiday Sparkle<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With typically shortened winter days, having pieces that shine and sparkle is a beautiful way to add illumination to your home. Designer, Taron H. is no stranger to using bold, luxe decor, such as items with metallic finishes which not only add light but also a bit of glam to a design. This is why glimmering ornaments and accents are his favorite holiday decorating pick in making a home merry and bright.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas trees and wreaths are not the only way to use botanicals as holiday decor. For Designer, Jessica S., incorporating plants and beautiful planters into her design work is key. \u201cThey can be a great way to change up your usual design and add a seasonal flair to your space. In the winter, I would change out my tropicals for ivy and mini poinsettias or even cut evergreens and berries! The same idea can be repeated with any tabletop terrariums or even lantern style candle holders.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Marquee Decorations<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Joy. Merry. Hope. Calm. Bright. There\u2019s no denying that the holiday season conjures up all sorts of lovely words and messaging. Why not use them as Christmas decorations? From easy to use wall decals to brilliantly lit marquees, incorporating inspirational typography adds interest and meaning to your winter holiday decor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Festive Red Accents<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Decorilla Designer, Anna T., holiday decorating<\/a> comes in the form of color. \u201cI can hardly imagine Christmas without red color and I like the comfort and warmth it reflects\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>Red is certainly one of the traditional colors used throughout the holiday season. Vibrant and inviting, it makes for a wonderful main or accent part of a home design.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Mistletoe Decorations<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally used as a sign of love and friendship in Norse mythology (that\u2019s where the kissing custom came from), a branch of hanging mistletoe is also a favorite holiday decorating idea. \u201cI’m sorta smitten with this zinc mistletoe bunch<\/span><\/a>,\u201d says Seattle based designer, Emily W. \u201cIt’s an inexpensive way to add a charming, unexpected touch of Christmas to any entry or doorway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
