A White Christmas: A Decor Dream Come True

There’s nothing more dreamy and magical than a white Christmas. You might live in a climate where this is the norm for you.

Easy Tips for Using White Christmas Decorations

Here are a few suggestions for creating your white Christmas dreams.

1| Varying Shades of White

You don’t need to use pure white for every piece. That will cause your home to look one dimensional and even a little bland.

You can mix in all different shades of white – pure white, warm whites, linen, cooler white.

2| Thoughtfully Add in Other Colors

You do not need everything to be pure white for a white Christmas theme.

Metallics work well with whites – silver for more cool tones that blend and gold for more warm tones that contrast. Metallics complement white beautifully. 

You can also subtly add in other colors.

Greens provide contrast and keep things crisp, organic, and fresh. It helps keep your decor from being lifeless and flat.

Light blues softly blend with white, while providing a subtle contrast.

Neutral colors such as beige or gray or black can add some texture and depth to your white color palette.

Red is a bold color that will provide a strong contrast – experiment with that color and see how it impacts the result you’re going for. Too much could detract from the white Christmas theme you’re going for.

(The exception would be berries, in my opinion. That could really add to the woodsy, white winter feel!)

3| Layer in texture

It’s great to use a variety of different materials to create depth.

You can use metals, natural elements (such as whitewashed wreaths, stems, flocked trees, or pine cones), and different fabrics (white fur, cozy knit blankets, fuzzy pillow).

You can (and should!) use a mix of these materials in your vignettes, whether they are on a mantel, open shelving, dining table – anywhere and everywhere!

4| Use Generic Home Decor in White or Shades of White

While you’ll probably have actual white Christmas decor, such as candles, stockings, ornaments, take a look to find what household decor that you have that is white!

Non-holiday white candles, white baskets, white trivets, white trays, white lanterns… the list is endless.

Don’t be afraid to upcycle what you have and/or paint it, rather than purchasing all brand new!

It’s also a bonus if you have white as part of your home decor color scheme – white walls, furniture, curtains, etc.!

5| Look for Winter Decor

Think beyond merely Christmas decor; winter decor is perfect to use at Christmas too!

Think about snowflake motifs, frosty pines, icicles – not expressly Christmas but a gorgeous wintery accent to Christmas decor.

OK – let’s get to these gorgeous ideas!
