9 Christmas Decorations for Every Room in Your House
Why stop at just a tree in the living room?
Nov 18, 2024
When it's time to decorate for Christmas, one room usually gets most of our attention — the one where the tree is placed. We also tend to focus on where all the other decorations go, from the holiday village to the Christmas throw pillows to the spice-scented candles. However, we think it's time to up the holiday spirit and add Christmas decorations all over the house. Not only is spicing up each room with a small decorative element easy to do, but it'll impress guests (including Aunt Linda) and give your home — and your family — an even more festive feel.
These pieces don't have to be ornate or particularly expensive; adding a well-placed wreath, blanket, or centerpiece in often undecorated spots, such as the bathroom or porch, will do the trick without breaking the bank.
Here are nine of our favorite Christmas decorations for every room of your house. Go on, fully embrace the Christmas spirit.

Shop : Rustic Christmas Tree from Harry & David
If you have a screened-in patio or covered porch, or any kind of outdoor space (even a fire escape for you apartment dwellers), you can decorate it with its own little Christmas tree. It's the perfect way to let your neighborhood know you're in the holiday spirit, and to gather around and enjoy some hot apple cider outside. This holiday spruce has warm winter lights and comes pre-planted in a holiday planter; plus, you can even replant it once January hits.

Shop : Festive Throw Blanket with Sherpa Lining from Harry & David
Adding Christmas decorations to your bedroom is usually an afterthought (or missed altogether, as it's typically for hiding presents and you don't want to draw attention to it), but why not add a festive touch to the room where you sleep? This cozy throw blanket has a classic holiday print and a warm sherpa underside. It's perfect to curl up under as you snuggle in bed while winding down with Christmas movies or, more likely, some online shopping.

Shop : Christmas Name Personalized Crayons from Personalization Mall
These really aren't decorations, but they will keep your little one busy in their room while you decorate the rest of the house. Remember to give them paper. Otherwise, their walls will get "decorated" too.

Shop : Holiday Tea and Mugs Gift from Harry & David
I stayed at a friend's house one holiday season, and they set the guest room up like a little bed and breakfast. Not only did they leave treats, such as local chocolate bars and handmade soap on my pillow, but they also supplied me with a seasonal mug for my morning coffee. Little touches like that make friends and family feel extra special during the season.
This set, with two festive ceramic mugs, a decorative tin with 40 bags of tea, and some winter white honey, acts as both decor and a special way to welcome guests to your home. Remember to ask them to leave you a great review...

Shop : Holiday Rustic Evergreen Wreath from Harry & David
A wreath and front door go together like hot chocolate and marshmallows, and this rustic evergreen wreath adds a few extra touches that make it both gorgeous and unexpected. First, it's comprised of three different types of trees, which means your home will smell like a forest before guests even step inside. And the faux red berries and burlap bow add a chic look to a classic decoration.

Shop : Holiday Evergreen Garland from Harry & David
Nothing creates a warm and cozy holiday ambience like a garland draped over a fireplace mantel, and this Christmas decoration features natural pine cones, faux red berries, and noble fir. If you want to make it even more festive, add a strand of Christmas lights or some LED candles around it. But no matter how you decorate this garland, it will surely feel like the centerpiece of the room (and may even outshine the tree).

Shop : Holiday Lighted Glass Trees - Set of 3 from Harry & David
A dining room table isn't complete without a centerpiece that ties it all together — especially for a holiday meal. Candlesticks are beautiful, but the ones you've been using the past few years have probably burned down to unlightable stubs. Don't let that get you down. Add a holiday touch with this trio of LED Christmas trees. They're made of glass and each one comes in a different size; all emit a light that exudes a warm glow. They're a beautiful way to add more holiday spirit to your next get-together.

Shop : Holiday Mini Poinsettia Trio from Harry & David
My mother always puts a seasonal plant on her guest bathroom windowsill, and it's such an easy way to add a special touch to a space that isn't so easy to decorate. This small, bright red poinsettia plant is perfect for that or to add on the side of the sink next to some holiday-scented soap. Plus, it comes in a wooden crate that's engraved with a snowflake pattern. This is as festive as it comes.

Shop : Holiday Tree Cookie Jar with Cookies from Harry & David
Raspberry-filled tree-cutout shortbread cookies are always a welcomed gift, but it's the jar these cookies come in that will end up grabbing everyone's attention. This ceramic jar is perfect for the center of a kitchen island or kitchen table. There's just one rule: Whoever eats the last cookie has to refill it.
