Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{Cozy Knit Ugg Slippers}

Hello hello! It’s time for Saturday 6 – Christmas style. :) I couldn’t be more excited about the holidays this year! They are always so special but I’m feeling it even more this year knowing that I get my girls both home from college! Just can’t wait! I’m sharing Christmas decorating ideas today and breaking this post into 6 categories: GARLAND, TREES, BRANCHES, WREATHS, PILLOWS, DECOR/CANDLES. You’ll see long time Christmas decor favorites along with cute new things I’m seeing and loving this year. This post is full of ideas so grab some hot chocolate and settle in! It’s the most wonderful time of the year. :)

1 – GARLAND

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{faux cedar garland/eucalyptus garland/arched mirror/lit birch trees/flameless candles/linen pillow/similar stars/ribbon/jeweled snowflake ornament}

We have to kick this post off talking all things garland because is it even Christmas without garland hanging in every room!? At least not in this house. ;) Good faux garland looks so realistic and you all know my absolute favorite. It’s back! My favorite faux cedar garland is back in stock. AND this year they have it in a thicker version! YEA. I used so many strands on this mantel last year so I’m excited to see how thick the new version is! I ordered 2 strands and will share a pic of it soon!

To get the look above I combined my faux cedar garland with my long time favorite eucalyptus garland. You can see more pictures and details about this mantel in my holiday star mantel post.

For my kitchen garland last year I combined my faux cedar garland with this beautiful norfolk pine garland and I loved the look! Planning on pairing those two together again this year.

Good garland is usually the first thing to sell out (many by the end of October)! I rounded up my favorites from Amazon and other stores below!

2 – TREES

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{faux pine trees – coming soon!/down swept flocked trees/similar gold faux lit door garland/gold lanterns /flameless candles /fluted outdoor planters/similar poinsettias here/glitter gold star ornaments/concrete round bowl planter/red plaid rug/light up village wreath}

Trees! There are so many beautiful tree options if you are looking for a new tree this year! These little down swept flocked trees were a favorite purchase last year and this year I bought the 3 sizes in the green version for inside. The faux pine trees on this porch are coming in stock soon! You can see more pics of last year’s red and gold holiday porch here. I’ll probably decorate it pretty similar this year.

It was especially fun at night. :)

{flocked tree/similar wood bead garland/green ball ornaments/similar chairs/similar pom throw}

If you need a large, pretty flocked tree I love this tree! I will say that it’s a bit messy during assembly (like most flocked trees!) but once it’s up it’s just stunning. A favorite for my bedroom! You can see more of my Christmas master bedroom decor here.

{Puelo Pre-lit Aspen Fir Tree}

Last year I didn’t decorate my bedroom as much but I added this cute faux aspen in the corner and loved it! It’s beautiful and a great price. I didn’t even decorate it! It was so pretty just on its own. I’m excited to decorate it this year.. still debating where to put it!

similar stars/jeweled snowflake ornament/similar tree skirt/chunky wool jute rug}

This norway 9′ tree is absolutely stunning and I love it so much I have two! Aside from being absolutely beautiful, it’s FULL of sparkling lights and it’s so easy to assemble. It’s a higher price point but I know I’ll use it forever. Or at least close to forever. :)

{faux fur round chair/similar santa pillow/plaid pillow/similar tree/bead garland/clip-on candles/similar snowflakes/similar house ornaments}

Last year (per request!) I decorated Addison’s bedroom in tradition Christmas colors. She was so excited and I can’t wait to decorate my kids’ rooms this year! You can see more details in this post.

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

I used a cute skinny tree that I’ve had for years (it’s discontinued) so below are some similar options from Amazon and other places!

{Pre lit Wall Hanging Olive Leaf Tree/Fa la la Pillow}

I didn’t do a great job of capturing this tree at night (quick phone pic)..  it lights up so beautiful! I can’t wait to pull it out again this year. It would be cute on any blank wall or above a console table. Not your traditional tree but it’s definitely a favorite!

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{Balsam & Cedarwood Hand Soap/Faux Pre-lit Alpine Mini/Lit Faux Pine Trees/Hand Towel}

This little mini tree is another long time favorite and these lit faux pine trees are similar and come in lots of sizes!

Trees I’m loving..

3 – BRANCHES

{similar woven tray/real touch norfolk pine branch/rizzo textured ball ornaments/textured metallic glass ball ornaments}

Let’s talk branches! These real touch norfolk pine branches are beautiful!

I love laying them in a long tray with ornaments. Simple decorating and they always look beautiful!

You can set them on a timer and they click on in the evening and give such a nice glow. Love them!

{Zeyune Norfolk Pine Branches}

I moved the real touch branches to my vase last year so I bought these zeyune norfolk pine branches to replace them and they are also beautiful! A great price for a pack of 6!

I rounded up so many fun stems on Amazon! You can see them all here..

4 – WREATHS

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

Wreaths! A favorite for holiday decorating and last year I had so much fun with mini wreaths!

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{faux juniper wreath/ribbon}

LOVE them. I added ribbon to these faux juniper wreaths and they turned out so cute! (Looks like this year they come with ribbon already attached!) I just use a small dot of glue with a glue gun so the bows can easily be pulled off.

Then I attached clear command hooks to my counter stools.

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{woven counter stools}

Easy to hang and I loved the look! In past years I’ve attached them with ribbon but then they slide around. This worked better for me with these stools!

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

I also hung them down my hallway on the molding. Mini wreaths look good everywhere!

{similar wreaths}

A couple of years ago I hung these hoop wreaths on our mudroom lockers.. another fun way to use them!

Pillows! We love them! I’ll be sharing more favorite pillows soon but above and below are some favorites from PB. Their holiday pillows are always so cute!


6 – DECOR/CANDLES

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

This fun bottle brush display with lights was another favorite addition last year! I tried making my own too but it didn’t turn out quite as cute.. ha. I’m seeing lots of fun similar options popping up this year!

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{flickering candles/taper candles/candle holders}

I love using candles during the holidays and the two I linked above are my long time go-to favorites. I use remotes/timers for them and they light everything up so beautifully!

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

I always use them in my kitchen window too. :)

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{wooden tree board}

I shared this cute tree board that was so fun for entertaining and holiday movie nights with the kids!

{bronze sculpted reindeer}

Also these cute reindeer are fun decor that have been popular and sell out quickly!

Christmas Decorating Ideas (Sunny Side Up)

{pine tree towels}

Love my tree towels too. :)

You can see more fun decor I’m excited about in the link below and of course I’ll be sharing lots as I decorate! I could talk Christmas decor all day long but this post is already a book so time for a break. If you made it this far you might be just as crazy as I am when it comes to holiday decorating.. ha. I hope this post gave you some fun ideas! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Now back to our pumpkins. ;)

  1. I always look forward to all your beautiful ideas, but especially your holiday decor! Can you tell me where you purchased the other lit trees on your mantel? I have the lit birch trees from Pottery Barn but I would love to add the other trees you have with them. If that aren’t sold anymore do you know of any other ones that would be similar?

    1. Hi Katie! Thank you so much! Makes my day that you love my holiday decor! Those pretty trees were from Target! Stop by my blog Monday morning because I’m going to have a full post up with all of their new Christmas arrivals and I have a feeling that they will have something similar out! If not I’ll find something similar somewhere else to share! xx
