We may not yet be decking the halls with boughs of holly, but it’s never too early to start thinking about your Christmas decorations. Making our homes look merry— both inside and out—is one of the real joys of the season, and one that you can get the whole family involved in. This year, we can all use some extra cheer, so here’s a guide to Christmas decoration ideas.

Christmas Wreaths

A front door wreath is the simplest and quickest way to add a bit of Christmas charm to your home. This Crestwood Spruce Wreath is a pretty and practical way to get your house ready for the holidays. 

Non-Traditional Christmas Tree

For most of us, the focal point of our Christmas decorating will always be the tree. These days, there’s an incredible amount of options including real and artificial trees and pre-lit trees for those who don’t have the time for stringing up lights and baubles. This chic pre-lit black tree is ideal for revelers looking for a no-hassle Christmas tree this year.

Throw Pillows

Not only do these look fantastic on a table at Christmas time, but they smell pretty great too!

Personalized Ornaments

Personalized ornaments are a great way to feel special while putting up the tree, especially because you sometimes forget about them until Christmas time. Which makes them a great surprise each year!

Keep It Cohesive

When looking to decorate your home for the Christmas season, it’s a great idea to first work out what kind of theme you would like. Once you do that, there are plenty of resources out there to help you out with a bit of inspiration. 

Traditionally, Christmas decorating would only begin at the start of Advent. However, there’s no harm in getting started a little early so that we can enjoy our festive homes for longer. As with any electrical equipment, take care when using lighted ornaments, and always read the manufacturer’s instructions before use.
