11+ Traditional Christmas Decor Ideas

Doesn’t matter how many different Christmas styles there are, traditional Christmas decor will always hold a special place in our hearts. Because sometimes, all you need is a big pop of bright red to give you some joy during the holidays.traditional christmas decor

With the holidays just around the corner, many of us have already started looking into what kind of decor we are wanting this year.

If you are anything like us, you probably have a soft spot for the traditional bright colors. (!! specifically red accents!)

We are bringing you THE coziest Christmas decor! It’s bright, yet so simple and relaxing. We already fell in love with all of it and know you will too!

This post is all about the best traditional Christmas decor!

 

The Coziest Traditional Christmas Decor

the Christmas tree

Let’s start with the most important piece during Christmas time! Choosing a tree is the most traditional you can get!

This is the time where you gather your family and go to the tree farm to pick the fattest, tallest one there is! (or maybe you prefer the smaller ones, that’s okay too!)

We love a good real tree with the most amazing pine smell!

But we don’t mind the artificial ones either, so we found the most amazing tree for you to get this season and it looks very similar to the one down below! (minus the acorns!)

We are linking two different ones depending on how much you are willing to spend on a tree this year!

Christmas Tree Accessories

After the tree is picked out, the only reasonable thing left to do is decorate it!

(Tip; listening to old Christmas music, while decorating the tree with your family is something we highly recommend!)

Take out all your favorite decor from the year before and add some new ones to the collection as well! You can choose to keep the tree colorful but simple OR you can go all out!

Christmas Tree Skirt

Don’t leave the tree bare on the bottom! Having a tree skirt (or basket) is a must! A tree skirt makes the entire tree look cozy and that’s just what we are going for!

There are many different styles to choose from but today we are going with a knitted white Christmas skirt!

The knit is giving us all the warm feelings! We found one that looks almost identical to the one under our tree below!

Cozy Basket With Throw

You have to have something in your living room to cozy up with!

We recommend having a basket with a soft throw or blanket! (you can not have too many throws so add one to the couch as well!)

During the holidays you can have the basket sitting next to the tree with a throw for more decor!

Don’t forget to give it some decor attention as well!

Add a couple of pillows to match all the holiday decor!  (Tip; buy pillow covers to switch out during the holidays!)

Fireplace Mantel

If you have a fireplace, you know you can’t leave it empty!

The fireplace is often where the tree stands next to. Having it match your overall decor is a must!
