Deciding what decorations and themes to use? Create Christmas magic with décor that highlights your home’s natural features. Working with your home’s style creates a seamless look, making it easier to design memorable moments while showcasing your space. Follow these expert tips from Balsam Hill.
Traditional
Colonial, Tudor, and Victorian homes feature elegant lines and generous space, making them ideal for classic Christmas decorating.
Outdoor Displays
From front door wreaths, garlands, and outdoor-safe décor to Christmas trees in the entryway, welcome guests with an instant touch of Christmas cheer.
Mantel Décor
A fireplace mantel is the heart of a classic Christmas display. Layer garlands with lights, stockings, and candles to create a cosy, welcoming focal point.
Matching Ornaments
Create a statement display using coordinated ornament sets that complement your home’s colour palette. This approach gives your Christmas décor a polished, professionally styled look.
Farmhouse or Cottage
Create a welcoming, lived-in feel with rustic textures and timeless Christmas decorations that make your space feel warm and inviting.
Nature-Inspired Décor
Woodland creatures and natural motifs add a whimsical touch to rustic décor, while a gold palette brings an elegant, refined finish to the overall look.
Classic Red and Green
Traditional plaid or red-checkered home accents paired with evergreen foliage create a warm, homely feel that’s perfect for Christmas.
Rustic Accents
Enhance the warm and cosy vibe with classic holiday décor in wood, rattan, and other homespun textures.
Condo or Apartment
Go big on Christmas cheer, even in the smallest spaces, with intentional décor that makes every detail count.
Slim Christmas Trees
There’s no need to scrimp on style with slim or flatback trees designed to fit beautifully in smaller spaces.
Tabletop Accents
Vignettes on coffee tables, consoles, or shelves don’t take up much space but help create a warm, inviting Christmas atmosphere. Use light-up décor to add a soft, cosy glow.
Wall Décor
Make the most of vertical space by styling walls and shelving with wreaths, string lights, or swags to add visual interest and Christmas charm.
Modern or Minimalist Home
Let classic evergreens and thoughtfully chosen décor bring a refined sense of Christmas style to your modern space.
Neutral Tree Décor
Maintain a clean, modern look with minimal tree décor in a monochromatic palette. Silver, bronze, gold, or white tones create a polished, understated finish.
Wood and Metal Accents
Bring warmth into a minimalist home while complementing clean lines with metal lanterns and wooden décor.
Conversation Pieces
Put a modern spin on classic décor with standout pieces like a capiz wreath or ceramic nativity scenes. Look for interesting shapes and tactile textures to add a distinctive, contemporary twist.
Beach House
Celebrating Christmas somewhere warm and sunny? Bring a relaxed sense of Christmas charm into your home by incorporating natural elements inspired by the coast.
Frosted Trees
Frosted trees suit bright, airy coastal homes, especially when styled with a blue and silver colour palette.
Ocean-Themed Ornaments
Embrace a coastal chic look with glass and metal ornaments inspired by vibrant marine life, perfect for bringing a relaxed, seaside feel to your Christmas décor.
Natural Elements
Incorporate basket weave, burlap, or rope accents to reflect your home’s natural, coastal-inspired style.
