Incorporate Your Artwork
Decorate your mantle with greenery, then add ribbons and ornaments for a pop of color. Match your garland accessories to wall art and decor throughout the space rather than using the classic Christmas colors for an understated yet festive look.

Use a Planter as a Stand
"More is more," says Matthew Bees, decorator behind this eclectic room. "The holidays are meant to be extravagant! Instead of a tree skirt, try a vintage fishbowl or planter. It heightens the tree and gives you more room for Santa's surprises," he adds.

Honor a Family Tradition
"My family celebrates both Christmas and Kwanzaa," designer Nikki Klugh tells us. "We choose a different theme every year, but you'll always see a thread of blue running throughout—my father always used to hang blue lights on our house because it was my mother's favorite color," she shares.

Collect Figurines
Instead of hanging stockings on the mantel, deck out your fireplace with mini Christmas figurines, like Emily Henderson did here. Keep collecting your miniatures so that one day, you'll eventually have an entire mini Christmas village to display.

Get Ready for Guest
In another Christmas decor masterpiece by Matthew Bees, vibrant reds dress up moody chocolate browns. One wreath above the bed and a bouquet of roses is all it takes to prep a bedroom for holiday guests.

Swap Out Planters
"The planter in our entryway changes with the seasons. In the winter, I incorporate moss, princess pine, and berries—I want my guests to feel like they've been transported elsewhere," Charlotte Moss says of this holiday entryway setup.

Make a Creative Advent Calendar
Turn a kitchen garland into a advent calendar. Attach a ribbon across it and then hang little tin containers labeled with the day of the month and fill them with treats. Now that's our kind of giving tree.

Layer, Layer, Layer
Decorate using objects of different heights. Start by hanging oversized snowflakes, and building up the table with tall candlesticks. For the mantel, hang a garland made with olive branches.

Color Play
Opt for non-traditional colors. Instead of the typical red-and-green palette, mix metals with retro elements, like the pair of little gold votive lamps.

Put Your Mugs On Display
If you collect holiday mugs, make sure they're on full display during the festive season.

Use a Ladder
Instead of opening a flimsy cardboard box, hang up a DIY Advent calendar on a ladder or the tree. Decorated muslin craft bags conceal treats, toys, and messages from Santa—and you can fill them again next year, too.

Swap Out Your Tablecloth
Drape a plaid blanket over a white table to add color and creativity with basically zero work involved.

Don't Forget the Nursery
Baby's first Christmas? Deck out their room without breaking away from the current color palette with a metallic Christmas garland. Emily Henderson hung one right above the crib here.

Decorate the Bar
If you're entertaining this holiday season, don't forget to the prep bar. Aside from stocking it with the necessary beverage ingredients, take note from Emily Henderson's styling here by adding some greenery and a festive candlestick holder.

Stock the Bar
Bar carts are the one design element that still need to be functional, so make sure all of your merry-making essentials fit. Accessorize with greenery and glassware.

Greens on Greens
Layer pine, spruce, and juniper for a fuller garland. Birch twigs, winterberry, and silvery pinecones add sparkle.

Keep It Neutral
You don't have to go bold to make a statement. This classic dining room with a simple garland on the mantle is insanely chic.

Decorate With Candles
Candles give a Christmas old-fashioned charm—but to avoid a serious fire hazard, use candle lights instead of the real deal.

Put Up a Playful Mailbox
Put up a "letters to Santa" mailbox so your kids can drop them directly in there to be sent to the North Pole. Consider swapping out your welcome mat, too.

Try Purple
Deep purple flowers still feel festive, but provide an alternative to red when you're just over it. Put them in a silver julep cup for extra glam.
