4. Front Door To Santa’s Workshop

This festive front porch offers a fantastic welcome for your guests. The mat, the simple JOY sign, and pops of red from the tree ornaments set it all off. The “JOY” sign is a DIY. All you need is paint and a letter stencil. Flip it over and the other side is a “welcome” sign! On the door, the wreath is from Costco, and flocking was added for a festive touch. Fresh evergreen branches frame the entryway, entwined with white string lights for nighttime ambiance. (via @casagrella)

7. A Grand Staircase Christmas

Don’t forget to decorate around your stairwell. This simple decor features a tree set in an urn paired with ornaments under the bench and a Merry Merry ornament sign from Pier 1.

The large tree is from @lowes_canada. Decorating the fireplace (the stone is from @eldoradostone), the wreath and garland are wired bunches of natural greens. Notice how the garland only drapes on one side of the mantel, with the tree on the other side? Perfection! (via @prairiefarmhousedesign)

16. Around The Christmas Tree

Magical Christmas memories are made sitting around the tree listening to music, watching holiday movies, and unwrapping gifts. We love how the garland drapes down one side of the mantel, with a grouping of stockings on the other side. (via @ourpnw_home)

17. Transition Of Seasons

If you are not yet ready to take your fall decor down before Thanksgiving, why not transition between the seasons with Fall and Christmas decor. Create a beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape and add a Christmas tree for a magical ambiance. This way you slowly transition into the Christmas season and have the best of both, as this Instagrammer has done. The tree is a 9-foot Queen flocked tree from King of Christmas. On the coffee table is a mix of holiday decor finds from TJMaxx and Michael’s. (via @lifeonrusticdr)

Here is another idea for slowly transitioning from Fall to Winter using a Christmas tree mixed with pumpkins. The beautiful flocked tree is from King of Christmas. Decorations are from HomeGoods, Target, and Amazon. The sign on the wall is from HobbyLobby. (via @sharee.designs)

Bonus: Our Elegant Flocked Christmas Tree

In our guest bedroom nook, we decorated a 9′ King Flock Artificial Christmas Tree with 1100 Warm White LED Lights from King of Christmas. Its heavy, frosted branches are modeled after the Subalpine Fir of the snowy Rocky Mountains, and a remote lets you choose from eight lighting modes, a timer, and dimming. We started with a cream velvet ball garland, then layered in oversized navy ornaments, smaller navy and green ones, and pretty white bows, all from Kirkland’s. A fluffy white blanket makes a cozy base. See more photos of this tree in our elegant Christmas tree decorating ideas. (Photo: One Kindesign)

Bonus: Our Nostalgic Christmas Tree

Last year, we went for a nostalgic look, decorating an 8′ Tribeca Spruce Blue Artificial Christmas Tree with 650 Warm White LED Lights from King of Christmas with ornaments that had been tucked away in a storage box for years. It was simple to put together and shape, and it came with gloves for fluffing the branches and a spacious, durable storage bag. Pulling out old family ornaments is a sweet way to fill your tree with memories without buying anything new. (Photo: One Kindesign)
