A big part of the magic of Christmas lies in the experience of decorating itself, and carefully curated Christmas decorations can take your home’s design from good to great. Our team at Decorator’s Warehouse spends all year sourcing, layering, and designing the best looks for our store and for the website’s inspiring collection of images! We have so much fun and want to share some of the magic of our favorite staple pieces with you!
Crafting a Stunning Christmas Tree
Your Christmas tree is the focal point of your Christmas decorations, both interior and exterior, and you can use the tree to set the foundation for the theme and color scheme of your overall design. We are obsessed with all things big when it comes to Christmas trees and design — so you’re in the right place for Christmas decoration ideas for trees!
Size your Christmas tree for the spaceThe height and fullness of the tree should match the space. We recommend that you measure the space of your room, both height and width, before shopping for the tree to ensure it fits properly!
We offer both full-width and slim Christmas trees here at Decorator’s Warehouse. Slim trees are good for tight spaces or bedrooms, but go with a full-sized version if you have the space!
Take your time fluffing the tree
When decorating, always fluff the tree out before you string the lights or place the ribbon and ornaments. We pull branch elements up and out to help make the tree look fuller and more realistic. If you’re noticing some holes in your tree and aren’t ready for a new one, a pro tip is to purchase some Natural Greenery picks and add them to the tree before decorating!
Follow the 4-step decorating process
If you’re unfamiliar with our 4-step decorating process, you can review it to maximize your decorating knowledge.After fluffing the tree, add a topper. You can buy a star or angel, or make your own toppers from the Christmas tree picks that we offer here. Then, add ribbon, followed by florals, clusters, filler sprays, and ornaments. When placing ornaments, add the larger ornaments first, followed by specialty ornaments.
When decorating, choose ribbon, clusters, sprays, picks, florals, and Christmas ornaments that match the vibe of the rest of your theme and color.
If you’re not sure where to start with the arrangement,, just take a look through our themed Christmas tree bundles. These bundles come with all decor pieces you need, ready to assemble on your tree!
Mesmerizing Lighting Essentials
Carefully chosen Christmas lights can add just the right ambience to your Christmas decoration display.
Cluster lights are a great way to add light to a tree, but they can also be added to garlands and wreaths. In addition to adding them to Christmas greenery, you can also wind them around posts, columns and pillars - or get creative. If you see a blank space that needs some lights, you might be able to use clusters!
Orb lights are another creative specialty that can be used to enhance your Christmas decorations. Orb lights can also be strung along mantles, over eaves, around window frames, and elsewhere around your home, where they will add a magical glow.
Timeless Decorative Pieces
There are lots of other unique accents that can be used in your Christmas decorating to add color, charm, to round out the theme, or just to fill in spaces that need a little something.
Resin pieces and nutcrackers are great for this. We have themed resin accents and signs that are perfect for adding more color and life to your decorations. Try a nutcracker finial, an ornament stack, or a resin sign. If you have an open spot, fill it with one of these. They’re great in living areas, as well as in entryways, too.
Nutcrackers are especially useful here, too, and they can be placed on tabletops, by doorways, on mantles, in nooks/alcoves, on desks, or just used to flank the tree. They’ll shine in any design!
Dazzling Ornaments Collection
We sell a dizzying assortment of different Christmas ornaments, both shatterproof and glass, all of which can be used to complete the look of your theme.
Shatterproof ornaments are particularly effective for outdoor decorating and in commercial settings, wherein glass would be likely to break. They are safer, more convenient, easier to store, and offer a look that you can’t tell apart from glass. They’re also good for those with little kids and pets.
As lovely as our shatterproof ornaments are, our heirloom glass Christmas ornaments really are something special. Fragile, yes, but also timeless, and true treasures that can be handed down and cherished - and their beauty is unmatched.
Enchanting Floral Accents
Like ribbons, lights, and resin ornaments, enchanting floral accents can also be used to add color and depth to any Christmas decorations.
Individual Christmas flowers can be used to ornament your tree, alongside picks and sprays, but they can also be used to add texture and dimension to your holiday displays elsewhere - in garlands, wreaths, and other greenery, as well as in centerpieces, vases, and other points of interest.
Floral clusters are another great way to get creative with Christmas flowers. Clustered together, they can be added to tree toppers, greenery, and elsewhere in your Christmas decorating.
