Go for a rustic look

Natural details—like wood, pine boughs and holly sprigs—are perfect for holiday decor. We love this cute little deer family made with twigs and wood scraps. And, since they're not overly seasonal, they can stay up all winter long! Speaking of winter, these are the top seasonal recipes from every state.

Overload on ornaments

Ornaments don't just belong on the tree. Pile them in bowls, vases and other vessels for an oh-so-easy centerpiece. Pick up shatterproof ornaments for this task, though—because no one wants to pry tiny shards of glass out of their carpeting. Check out these fun foodie ornaments, too!

Get pretty in pink

Sure, red and green are the classic Christmas colors. But feel free to branch out and design your decor around another hue. We're obsessed with this soft pink theme, but blue, maroon or purple can be equally stunning. Get 45 pretty pink recipes here.

Keep it cozy

Even if the weather outside isn't frightful, we still encourage you to make your home a chic, cozy space. After all, what's more relaxing than cuddling up next to the tree with a steamy mug of cocoa? Stock your space with festive throw blankets, twinkle lights, candles and anything else that can help set a hygge mood.

Dress up your kitchen

Between baking cookies and whipping up a ham dinner, we know you're going to spend a lot of time in the kitchen this holiday season. Cheer up your space with Christmas linens, mugs, dinnerware and even a strand of garland!

Bring the outdoors in

Even if you don't have a real tree, you can still enjoy the heavenly scent of fresh pine boughs. Add in some pinecones, cranberry branches and other rustic elements and you've got yourself some super-simple (and super-cheap!) decor. If you suffer from allergies, recreate this look with foliage items from your local craft store. Michael's has a great selection.

Consider minimal touches

Don't feel like your holiday decorations have to be over-the-top. Minimal touches—like a strand of lights, a simple greenery wreath ($15)and typography wall art—get the job done just as well.

Build an awesome advent calendar

A decoration and a kid-friendly activity? We're listening. Nix the chocolate advent calendars and create a homemade one with paper bags, rope and a long stick. Hang it on your wall to double as decor. Pick up an advent calendar for the adults in your home, too!
