Collection on Display
No room to display your holiday collection? No problem! Group and showcase similar seasonal objects together in a decorative tray. When multiple items are arranged within a tray, they'll appear more uniform.
Wintry Cabin Texture
Bring holiday flair to your bedroom through texture. This dark and dreamy bedroom was transformed into a cabin-inspired retreat with a mix of rich nubby evergreens, rough burlap and warm star-shaped garland made from twigs.

Elevated Serving
To keep this kitchen island functional during the holidays, a vintage sled is placed in the center for displaying snacks, while the rest of the countertop area is kept free for preparing meals and cocktails.
Mini Cutting Tree
Put tiny tabletop surfaces to use by snipping greenery from backyard trees and arranging the stems in a vase. Use the space below the cutting tree to arrange gifts as a tiny alternative to a traditional Christmas tree.
Snow Globe Scene
Add instant space for holiday decor by transforming a glass cake stand into a festive snow globe. Arrange various holiday figures with moss or faux snow to create the look of a winter scene.
Fun With Fabric
When space is at a premium, keep things simple with fabric-wrapped embroidery hoops. Choose a variety of fabrics cut to size, then stretch them around the embroidery hoops. Arrange the fabric hoops along your wall of choice to add a pop of holiday cheer.
Flat-Pack Elements
For holiday-loving homeowners short on storage space, flat-pack tabletop elements can be life changing. Look for tree, star, snowman and reindeer structures that fold into themselves and pack flat for easy storage and even easier setup.

Decorate the Unexpected
Use the front of your built-ins and bookcases to display holiday decor like wreaths, garland or tree cuttings. Here, a built-in display case with clear glass fronts creates the perfect backdrop to place a fresh magnolia wreath front and center.
Rope Lighting
Cozy up a tiny holiday tree with a crocheted tree skirt that looks amazing day or night.

Impromptu Stocking Spots
Take advantage of vertical space for stockings by simply draping them from door knobs of interior doors.
Wrapping Paper Tree
Put leftover wrapping paper to good use by cutting different patterns or colors to size forming a large triangle. Use double-sided tape to fasten the wrapping paper to the wall, then cut and add decorative ribbon around the edges for a clean, graphic look.
Ornament Sculpture
Put an upcycled spin on your holiday decor with a Christmas tree sculpture made from a reclaimed frame, twine and ornaments. Wrap twine around the edges of the frame, then stretch it across and secure with a knot. Create a web-like pattern to attach ornaments.
