December 16, 2020 by Elizabeth Wieck

Nothing gets us ready for the season quite like a house decked to the nines in holiday decor! Whether you’re a November 1st kind of decorator or more of a procrastinator, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite Christmas decorating ideas that will help you spread that festive cheer all season long.

Entryway

Warm welcomes for the most wonderful time of the year.

plaid porch christmas decorating ideas — We love decking out our front porch with lights and greenery, but we’re swooning over this extra-cozy look, which has us ready to have a seat and curl up with a cup of hot cocoa. Simply add a few festive blankets and throw pillows to your regular holiday setup, along with an outdoor rug (like our Regency Stripes Indoor/Outdoor rug in light gray, seen here) for a homey, outdoor living room vibe.

festive christmas entryway with stockings — This spirited entry welcomes guests with stockings on the fireplace and the credenza. Multiple trees and garlands add all the festive layers, and we’re loving the subtle pattern and coziness our Diamond Band Tassel rug adds to the space. Photo by @angelascozyhome.

holiday entryway with christmas trees — These Christmas decorating ideas are fit for the North Pole! Our Chunky Loop rug in off-white is a soft landing spot for all the holiday happiness happening here, including frosty trees, faux fur everything, and the prettiest stack of presents.

merry christmas entryway with plaid decor — Plaids can perk up the entryway all year long, but they feel especially festive for the holidays. Our Flatwoven Buffalo Plaid rug seen here is a fitting example, and makes for a charming matchy-matchy moment with the Christmas tree pillow on the bench. Photo by @thecozyfarmhouse.

Living Room

Cozy spaces fit for everything from family movie nights to Christmas morning.

Those beams! The fireplace! Our Tribal Moroccan Tassel rug! There are so many Christmas decorating ideas to love in this thoughtfully layered space, which gets an easy holiday update thanks to an evergreen mantle garland and a minimally lit (but very chic!) tree. Photo by Skies of Parchment.

Who else is picturing themselves in this straight-from-a-magazine living room? We’d like to host all our Christmas cocktail parties in this minimalist, warm space, which features our Diamond Chevron Bands Tasseled rug in beige for a hint of pattern and texture. A simple tree with glittering lights and a star topper is all it needs to shine for the season. Photo by @thesalthaus.

colorful christmas tree in living room — With a rainbow’s worth of colors and a frosty tree, this living room is filled with all the magic of the holiday season. We love the overflow of pretty presents sitting on the fireplace and the little bottlebrush trees filling in all the empty spaces (one of our go-to Christmas decorating ideas!). Photo by @gussiedupandglitzed.

two christmas trees in classic living room — Two trees, yes please! Twin trees flank the fireplace of this elegantly moody living room, which has that classic symmetry we always find so satisfying. A simple mantle with greenery and bronze candlesticks (along with our Iris Fading Oriental Medallion rug on the floors!) pulls it all together. Photo by @sincerelysarad.

living room christmas decorating ideas — Modern charm meets traditional warmth in this fresh-feeling space featuring our best-selling Tribal Moroccan Tassel rug in off-white. We especially love the tree, which is filled with a mix of ribbons, tassels, and ornaments for a playfully elevated DIY look. Add in greenery garlands on the bannister and mantel, and voila! It’s Christmastime. Photo by Lindsey Meek.

glamorous christmas tree in living room — So much glamour! This stunning display of Christmas spirit has all the holiday drama—without the actual drama. The creamy whites and metallics contrast beautifully with the bold greenery and red decor, and a mix of textures (like our Faux Cowhide rug in off-white) provide that warm, cozy feeling.

boho living room christmas decor — Cozying up in this beautifully boho living room (with that cute pup!) is our idea of the perfect lazy afternoon. We love its simple approach to Christmas decor—a slim tree with minimal ornaments and a natural wreath is all it takes to bring out the holiday spirit. Bonus points for adding extra blankets and an extra-plush rug like our Moroccan Diamond Drop Tassel rug in off-white. Photo by @madison.goodno.

Moroccan rug in living room with christmas tree — There’s nothing like a tree lit up at night time to get you into the holiday spirit. We love the mix of textures and soothing hues in this space—and the branch on the wall is such a clever way to add a “mantle” to a living room that lacks one. Our Moroccan Trellis Tassel Non-Slip Backing rug provides the perfect soft spot to open presents on Christmas morning. Photo by @burlapandbookpages.

white christmas decorating ideas for tree in living room — Here, it’s a white Christmas every day. Glittery ribbons and ornaments deck out a frosty tree, and fit right in with the warm, white-washed space and our Moroccan Trellis rug in gray. (And we just might have to steal that layered mirror look on the mantel for our own place.) Photo by @littlelattihouse.

Dining Room

Festive ways to serve up delicious meals and holiday cheer.

dining room with bottle brush christmas trees — Easy does it in this dining room, which features a forest of bottlebrush trees on the windowsill that feel right at home amongst all the other lush greenery. Faux sheepskin cozies up the bench and provides a softer spot to sit for dinner guests, while our Hand Knotted Shaded Chevrons rug adds some warmth from the floor. Photo by Wandering My Home.

modern neutral christmas dining room — We love the eclectic and collected look of this dining space, which is elegant enough to host a formal dinner but casual enough for pizza at home with the family. Simple dishware is elevated by single sprigs of greenery at each setting along with a crochet runner topped with an evergreen garland and modern black candlesticks (which we have to say, perfectly complement our Wavy Flatweave with Tassels rug). Photo by Jamie Lyn Carney.

plaid dining room christmas decorating ideas — Buffalo check plaid is a classic during the holidays, and we love the way it’s used as the centerpiece of this dining room. Snowy arrangements, wood coasters, mini wreaths at each setting, and our cozy Floral Ornament rug in ivory bring home some very chic cabin-in-the-woods vibes. Photo by @northcarolina_yogagirl.

white holiday dining room decor — This is what we call a white winter wonderland of a dining room—although it’s a look that will work perfectly from fall through the New Year. Eucalyptus and pine garlands feel fresh and festive as the centerpiece, and gold chargers, flatware, and napkin rings pop against all the bright whites. We love how our Jute Simple Border rug adds even more light to the space. Photo by @jseveryday.

Bedroom

Cozy, Christmas-y ideas for the sweetest of dreams.

moroccan minimalist christmas decorating ideas in bedroom — We say yes to Christmas trees in the bedroom—or any other room, for that matter! Here, a string of wood beads draped across the tree ties it into the beautiful natural materials in the rest of the space, including our Moroccan Lattice Tassel rug. Add a few little presents under the tree for guests, kids, your partner, or anyone else who stays in the room for an extra-special surprise. Photo by @nicolekientz.

simple bedroom with plaid christmas decor — A simple wreath above the bed is the easiest way to bring holiday cheer to the bedroom. We love the addition of the soft sheepskin on top of our Tribal Bands rug, which is perfect for sinking feet into on frosty mornings, along with a plaid pillow and blanket for extra warmth on cool nights. Photo by @sarahshireed.

christmas decorating ideas in bedroom — We’d love to wake up to this festive view every morning this holiday season. Creating this look is easier to pull off than you think: simply string up lights and a garland (real or faux, your choice) to your canopy or headboard, then add a throw and Christmas pillow for extra holiday cheer. Our Argyle Trellis rug in gray is pictured here. Photo by @lynetteyoder_.

Kids’ Rooms

Bring the magic of the season into their favorite spaces.

kids holiday playroom decor — Take note of this sweet space and add some holiday playfulness to the playroom with a few simple touches like a wreath, some red and green pillows, cheery streamers, and mini Christmas trees. Pssst: a jute rug (like our Chunky Loop rug in natural) is an extra-durable option for a space that will see lots of little feet during playtime. Photo by A Loving Nest.

christmas tree kids playroom — A mini tree for your mini’s favorite room! The playroom is the perfect place to bring in the kids and have them help you execute all sorts of Christmas decorating ideas. Make an afternoon of it and work on a few easy DIYs, like homemade ornaments and streamers in festive Christmas colors. Our Handwoven Jute Birdseye Diamond rug is pictured here. Photo by Taylor Krabill.

christmas decorating ideas in pink girls room — All it takes is a couple festive touches to create a magical wonderland in your child’s bedroom. Dress up mirrors with a bit of greenery, arrange a collection of colorful bottlebrush trees on the vanity. Silvery mini trees allow them to each have a tree of their own—and feel right at home on top of our Sunny Wildflower Medallion rug in pink. Photo by @hellotinylove.

christmas tree in pastel nursery — A full-length tree in a nursery? Why not! (Just make sure it has a weighted base so it doesn’t fall over.) Your little one won’t be able to take their eyes off a sparkling tree like this, and they’ll love the magical Christmas village at its base. Coordinate the ornaments with the rug in the space, as seen here with our Multi Wreath Medallion Tassel rug. Photo by @kelsimsavage.
