5 Minimalist Christmas Decorating Ideas
Consider becoming a minimalist if adorning the halls for the holidays feels like an arduous task on top of hosting family and friends, wrapping gifts, and spreading festive happiness. Minimalism doesn’t imply having no decor at all; rather, it means having fewer, higher-quality decor.
If you want to pare down your Christmas decorations while still creating a lovely, festive setting, take inspiration from some tremendous minimalist decorating ideas you can replicate in an afternoon.
1. Add a bare Christmas tree
Focus on only the necessities while creating a minimalist Christmas environment. A modest white and yellow Christmas tree trio glams the living room and makes a minimal appearance. Without all of the additional trimming, the appearance is relaxing and welcoming, especially when unsightly tree supports are covered in beautiful gifts.
2. Create a natural centrepiece
If you want to create a festive atmosphere at your next dinner party or Christmas Eve party, consider creating a natural centrepiece for your dining table. A few simple steps can help you achieve this:
Create an appealing display of greenery or flowers. You can use dried leaves, sprigs of herb plants or greenery in a vase or basket. For added visual interest, add some festive decorations such as twigs or pine cones. Add candles that are lit at dusk or during a special time of the day like Christmas Eve. These will help set the mood for your guests as they enjoy their meals.
3. DIY an advent calendar
There are several methods to make an advent calendar at home, but this hanging option is one of the easiest and most adaptable we’ve seen. To make your own, hang miniature buckets to a ribbon or thread strung to a beautiful green garland. Fill with candy, gum, magnets, mini decorations, and anything else small and entertaining that comes to mind.
4. Rethink your wreath
At first glance, this wreath by Luville Collectables may not seem super minimalist. But consider what you usually see in a holiday wreath: glassy baubles, twisting, ribbon, a fake dusting of snow, plastic snowflakes and twinkling lights. Use your own wreath by using vintage cardboard buildings with bottlebrush trees, mini deer and skiers from a model shop, and drifts of cotton snow.
5. Bring the wreaths indoors
These wall-hanging wreaths are really simple to make and look fantastic in any environment. While you can use any sort of greenery to get this appearance, try dried flowers for a farmhouse vibe, or the classics holly, eucalyptus, or pine for a more festive look. While these wreaths may be utilised all year, they sparkle when coupled with other simple Christmas decor.
