No tree? No problem! Attach string lights, tinsel, ribbon, or rope to a wall in a zigzag pattern reminiscent of an evergreen tree, then hang ornaments from it. We also love displaying ornaments in a cloche, as seen on the console table above. Photo by Jason Hamilton.
If you’ve got ’em—chic ornaments, that is—flaunt ’em. One way to do so: Dangle them from your light fixtures.
Even easier than hanging ornaments from your tree, your chandelier, or your banister is simply placing them in a bowl to add some Christmas spirit to a tabletop tableau.
Speaking of garlands, more is more during the holidays. Use them to frame a mirror, a doorway, windows, or artwork. Drape them over kitchen cabinets while you’re at it, or wind them around the posters of your bed. Photo by Tony Vu.
Wreaths aren’t just for doors and walls. Crown a figurine with greenery or hang a wreath as a necklace over a sculpture.
This idea works for just about any festive occasion; Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays… Use ribbon to tie a bow around chair backs, table legs, doorknobs, or anything else you fancy. (And how fun are those oversize ornaments dressing up the dishes?)
