“Christmas is not a date. It is a state of mind.” Mary Ellen Chase
I can’t believe Christmas is just around the corner!
This is our fifth Christmas in our home and it’s fair to say that I have become the self-proclaimed Head of Decorations.
Over the years I’ve managed to gather quite an impressive selection of decorations for any occasion.
It’s always so much fun exploring and comparing tonnes of websites and then opening packages full of sparkly items. The cherry on the cake is seeing my family and friends’ reaction to all of the festive decor in our home.
Christmas is fast approaching, and the next thing you know, you’ve got New Year’s Eve knocking on your doorstep. If you want to have the best and most rocking festive home décor it’s time to start thinking about it for the big day.
For those of you who were asking for Christmas decor inspo, I hope this post will make you feel inspired to make your home festive just in time for this Christmas season!
I’ve rounded up some of my favourite online finds and tips for the decor that will make your home look all Christmassy, yet modern and cozy!
It’s all in the detail!
TELESCOPIC LEGS
Boast some fun and festive design with telescopic Christmas figures.
Perfect for adding some character to my Christmas décor.
3 Pieces Christmas Sitting Santa Claus Snowman Reindeer
Standing Reindeer with Telescopic Legs
BAUBLES
Christmas tree decoration became fashionable in the UK during Queen Victoria’s reign and we have not stopped since then!
For centuries, baubles have evolved in design, material and cost and these days any Christmas tree would look a little lost without a few cheerful baubles hanging from its branches.
My favourite place Summerhill Garden Centre (in pictures)
Impressionism Baubles, Box of 42, White
Impressionism Assorted Luxury Baubles, Box of 26, White
Impressionism Assorted Finial Baubles, Box of 5, White
Art Nouveau Assorted Large Baubles, Box of 9, Gold
Art of Japan Assorted Large Baubles, Box of 9, Red
Bloomsbury Pine Cone Tree Decorations, Pack of 12, Gold
OUTDOOR DECORATIONS
When you think of Christmas, one of the first images to spring to mind is probably a Christmas tree, covered in twinkly decorations, lights and tinsel. However, outdoor decorations are becoming more and more popular, from twinkling lights and charming reindeers, to beautiful pre-lit trees that you can show off to all your neighbours.
200 Twinkling LED Rattan Effect Lit Deer Figure
Polar Bear 60 LED Figure
Snowman 80 LED Figure
LED Christmas Gift Boxes
Inflatable Father Christmas Santa 8ft tall
Outdoor Lit Penguin
Snowflake Projector
50 Twinkling LED Rattan Effect Lit Fawn Figure
200 Twinkling LED Icicle Lights, Ice White, L14.1m
CHRISTMAS GARLANDS
Christmas time means garlands all over the place. When you see them hanging in shopping malls and your neighbours’ houses, you know the holiday season has arrived.
Since I was a little girl I dreamt about having staircases decorated with frosty garlands and finally my dream has come true.
Real Garland, Red, 2m
Frosted Christmas Spruce Garland decorated with Pine Cones and Berries (in pictures)
9ft/270cm Frosted Glacier Garland
Pre-Lit 6 Feet/72 Inch Christmas Garland with Pine Cone and Berry Ornaments
Pre-Lit Arch Garland Christmas Decoration
Don’t forget to buy a few Christmas Direct Garland Ties (here) to ensure your garland is securely attached to your staircases, balustrades and shelving.
CHRISTMAS WREATHS
Christmas wreaths are a beautiful decoration for your home that can really show off your true holiday cheer.
Sparkle Wreath
Bloomsbury Faux Pheasant Feather Wreath
Art Nouveau Gold Fern Wreath
Prelit Xmas Wreath with berries and cons
17.7inch/45cm Pre-Lit Frosted Large Christmas Wreath
Premier Decorations Wreath With Berries and Leaves
LIGHTS
Who doesn’t like the warm glow of traditional fairy lights!?
Did you know?
Christmas trees displayed publicly and illuminated with electric lights became popular as early as the 19th century.
The illuminated Christmas tree became established in the UK during Queen Victoria’s reign.
In 1881, the Savoy Theatre, London was the first building in the world to be lit entirely by electricity.
LED red and ice white Berry Lights (IN PICTURES)
Cluster Christmas Tree Lights – 2000 Bulbs
Christmas Lights 500 LED 12.5m/41ft
Christmas Lights 480, 720, 1000, 2000 LED 24m Multi Action 8 Functions with Timer
640 LED Vine Lights, Copper / Pure White, 12m
120 LED Icicle Lights, Ice White, L19m
ELEGANT CHRISTMAS TWIGS
Add a bit of a sparkle to any flower composition round the house.
Lit Wooden Twigs
Fir Branches
Willow Bundle 95cm tall with 20 battery operated LED lights & the vase
Indoor Wall Tree Vine Lights 144 LED
LED 5 branches 30 lights
CHRISTMAS CANDLES
I love scented candles at the best of times but Christmas-specific versions really help with the festive ambience.
Fir Tree Tealights – Set Of 12
Fireside Collection
Highland Escape Candle
Fir Tree Large Botanical Candle
Winter Botanical Large Candle
Winter Spice Inclusion 3 Wick Scented Candle, 1.17kg
Frosted Spruce Inclusion 3 Wick Scented Candle, 3kg
Juniper Jazz Candle
CHRISTMAS DIFFUSERS
I love the feeling of entering the house that smells like a forest. Diffusers are the perfect solution to recreate the scent of fresh pine cones. Think gingerbread, roast chestnuts, open fire, cinnamon and many more.
Frosted Spruce Reed Diffuser
Highland Escape Diffuser
Fir Tree Diffuser
Skog Forest Reed Diffuser
Winter Diffuser (my favourite with notes of cinnamon and a dash of fresh orange)
POT POURRI
Fragrant potpourri has been around for centuries, adding the lovely aromas of dried herbs, flowers and spices to the house’s ambience.
Winter Pot Pourri
Fir Tree Pot Pourri (in pictures)
Winter Spice Pot Pourri
In the days leading up to Christmas, it sometimes feels like the holiday can’t come soon enough. So while you’re counting down the days, curl up by the fire, have a cup of a ginger spiced latte, and get yourself lost in the world of festive candle scents, diffusers and pot pourris!

What lovely decorations! We have a couple of Christmas trees and a lot of Christmas candles and tinsel, and a few nativity scenes, but other than that it’s pretty minimal here sadly as my husband doesn’t like Christmas as much as I do, haha! It’s a big deal for our family and so I have decorations in every room but he would much prefer just one tree. It’s a balance each year between me buying all the decorations and trying not to overwhelm him, haha!
Hope that you are having a nice week 🙂

It doesn’t sound that minimal with two trees and a few nativity scenes!my husband also didn’t use to like it and never got involved in decorating the house but I have managed to change it over the last few years. Now he appreciates the ambience and just a change in the scenery xx
Everything looks incredible!! Im so inspired. Your table is decor goals for sure!
