The holiday season is arguably the best and happiest time of the year. There is so much to look forward to. I love spending time with friends and family, holiday traditions, gift giving, the food and more. Another great part of the holiday season is holiday decorations. Holiday home decor can really get you in the spirit and help you get excited for the upcoming holidays. Nothing is better than a festive and well decorated home. The following home decor items are sure to make it feel like the holidays.
Wreaths are a classic Christmas decoration. They are the perfect addition to your front door. I love the look of a traditional pine tree wreath. If you don’t have your own place, you can still incorporate this decoration in other ways. Wreaths can be placed on top of mantles, book shelves or even hung up on walls. You can find mini wreaths as well, so you can really make this home decor piece work no matter what the size of your home is. The wreath linked below is a great classic 24″ wreath option from Pottery Barn.

Having a Christmas tree is an essential part of the Christmas season. However, real Christmas trees can be expensive, messy and hard to handle. Thankfully, artificial trees have come a long way and look very realistic. They are also often affordable and will save you money in the long run. They are usually relatively easy to put together and include separate parts that you simply attach in order to create the tree. You can also find different colored artificial trees in order to put a fun twist on the classic tree. You can also find trees that are pre-lit and already decorated, which allows for a super simple set up. Target offers a variety of affordable options. The one linked below is $60, which is cheaper than most real trees.

Pumpkins have become a symbol of the Fall season. Going to a pumpkin patch and picking out your favorites can be a ton of fun. But, they unfortunately rot and get messy. So a great alternative is buying pumpkin decor that will last you for many seasons to come. They look adorable as both an indoor and outdoor decoration. You can use them in a traditional way to decorate your porch. Or, you can buy smaller versions and put them on tables or shelves to decorate inside your home. You can find very realistic versions of pumpkins. There are also artificial pumpkins that have cute Fall sayings or ones that come in fun colors as well. Once again, Target has tons of options at reasonable prices.

Holiday candles are probably my favorite of these home decor options. They keep your home smelling great and festive. What more could you want? My favorite one stop shop for holiday candles is definitely Bath & Body Works. They have a large variety of festive candles that include all your favorite holiday scents. Some of my favorites include Flannel, Fresh Balsam, Marshmallow Fireside and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin. These warm and cozy scents will give you the perfect Fall or Winter scent for your place. Bath & Body Works also sells super cute candle holders and accessories that are specifically meant for the holidays. Not only will you have a great smelling candle, but it will act as the perfect decoration as well.
Stockings are another great traditional Christmas home decor choice. If you have a fireplace with a mantle, then stockings are a must. They also double as another gift on Christmas. It can be so much fun to fill stockings with personalized gifts for your loved ones. It can be a chance to express your creativity, while giving a special and thoughtful gift to someone you care about. I love the idea of having personalized stockings with each family member’s name on their own stocking. Pottery Barn offers these personalized stockings at an affordable price. You also get your money’s worth because these stockings will likely stay within the family for many Christmas’s to come. Pottery Barn also offers these stockings in five various sizes, ranging from mini to extra large. This is great because you can choose the perfect size stocking that will best fit your home. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, you can opt out of the personalized names and find stockings at nearly any store that sells home decor.

Poinsettias have become a symbol of Christmas. These flowers represent the holiday season. I love the idea of opting for an artificial version of the traditional flower. Poinsettias commonly do not last long and often get dry and withered and are no longer usable. These artificial flowers look very realistic and are guaranteed to last throughout the whole holiday season. You won’t have to worry about watering or any upkeep for these. You also will never have to replace them. Pottery Barn has a small and large size available for these fake potted Poinsettia’s. The prices range from $19.50-$39.50, depending on which size you decide to purchase.
