Keep reading to learn about all the ways you can spread Christmas joy inside your home this holiday season.

Living Room

The living room is probably the most important room you will decorate for Christmas, as it’s where you and your family will spend time during this joyful holiday! You can decorate just about every nook and cranny in the living room. Pay special attention to the mantel and Christmas tree itself. These will be central points of focus in your living room during the holidays. A few ideas for decorating the living room for Christmas are:

• Go for a flocked Christmas tree this year
• Hang evergreen wreaths in your living room windows
• Display bottle brush trees on your shelves and console table
• Drape an evergreen garland on your mantel
• Hang stockings on the chimney
• Christmas throw pillows are a must!
• Add a cozy winter throw blanket to the sofa
• Design a pretty Christmas centerpiece for your coffee table

Kitchen

When it comes to Christmas kitchen decorating, don’t be afraid to go modern (above) or traditional (below) depending on your tastes! A simple string of lights around the kitchen window can go a long way in adding some festive cheer to your kitchen. Or opt for a traditional red plaid Christmas decor theme and go all out!

Of course, there are many more ways to decorate your kitchen for Christmas. Here are a few ideas to spark your imagination and creativity:

• Frame your window with string lights
• Hang a wreath in your window
• Swap out your old dish towel for a red Christmas one
• Make use of Christmas cake stands and cookie jars

Dining Room

Another important room in the house to decorate for Christmas is the dining room. If you are hosting a Christmas dinner, then be sure to decorate your dining room for the holiday. Here are the important decorations you must consider when decorating your dining room for Christmas!

• Be sure to put a Christmas tree in the corner
• Make it cozy with faux sheepskin throws

Bathroom

The bathroom isn’t the first place you think of when decorating your house for Christmas, but don’t underestimate this little room. I recommend adding small touches of Christmas cheer to your bathroom, especially if it’s a guest bathroom and you are hosting! The scent of a Christmas candle or a festive red towel are wonderful, simple ways to decorate for Christmas in the bathroom. Here are a few more solid Christmas bathroom decorating ideas:

• Add a Christmas scented candle

• Use a Christmas shower curtain
• Hang an ornament on the bathroom door knob
• Hang a stocking on one of the towel hooks

Entryway

The entryway is the first room your guests will see as they enter your home for Christmas. That’s why we had to include it in our Christmas home decor guide for you this year! Just because it’s a pass-through space doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve a little Christmas cheer. There are lots of ways to decorate your entryway for Christmas. Here are a few of our favorites!

• Hang a wreath on your front door
• Hang a red scarf on one of your coat hooks
• Add a mini Christmas tree
• Christmas throw pillows on the bench
