A gorgeous Christmas mantle decorated with a faux white pine garland lit with clear lights and dressed up with deep green glass ornament balls. A large collection of ornament Christmas trees sits atop the mantle, spanning from side to side. The lighting on the garland bathes the trees in a beautiful warm golden glow that also lights the wall around it. Stunning, and very inviting.

When decorating your yard for the holiday season or looking for outdoor Christmas decor ideas, work with what you have. Look around your yard and the exterior of your home for existing elements that you can work into your Christmas decor displays.

If you have a good view of your back yard through the windows of your home, its lovely to carry your holiday season decorations into the back yard as well – creates a nice visual focal point for you and your holiday season guests to enjoy.

Here, a bird bath that is normally a feature of the summer landscape is transformed into a beautiful Christmas display in winter by first creating a bed of evergreen branches in the basin, and then nestling shiny colored glass Christmas ball ornaments into the nest of evergreen branches.  Note that ball ornaments of varying sizes are used to create an additional element of visual interest, but of course, if all you have is ball ornaments of only one size, that works too. A super-large ornament ball completes the look like a topper on a cake.

A really beautiful and festive Christmas display to decorate either your front or back yard.

Modern Christmas Decor Ideas – Dining Room with White Christmas Tree

A gorgeous setting is created in this modern dining room,  decorated for Christmas. Situated near the dining room table, a white Christmas tree, illuminated by clear lights, nestles into the corner, decorated with blue and gold decorations which coordinate perfectly with the large piece of blue and artwork handing on the wall behind it.

The white and gold theme carries through to the the dining table decorations. All set for Christmas dinner, the table is ready with white china at each place setting, a grouping of seven modern geometric crystal candle holders of assorted heights, holding white taper candles. And a scattering of tinted gold glass votive holders with white votive candles aglow inside.

A stunning example of clean, simple Modern Christmas Decor Ideas.

Christmas Decor Ideas – An Entry Table decorated for Christmas with snowman ornaments in three different sizes, a pine branch, a miniature (very miniature!) table-top tree in a silver urn, decorative acorns, flocked pine cones, and ball ornaments. Winding its way through this festive display, a sting of clear mini lights causes the glitter on the ornaments to sparkle and shimmer, and brings the little scene to life.

On the right hand side of the table, a slate colored urn  holds real spruce braches, silver sparkle twigs, and pre-lit branches with clear lights.

Cozy Christmas decor ideas like this one on an entry table offer a wonderful welcome for guests at the entry to your home during the Holiday Season.

Colorful Christmas Tree Decor packs a powerful visual punch, especially when you combine purple, pink and blue (with gold accents). What a striking color combination, and it looks fabulous on a Christmas Tree.

The gold accents are really essential. They add that necessary bit of glam that really makes this look pop. We love the way the toss pillows on the sofa coordinate with the Christmas tree decorations so perfectly.

The candle arrangement on the cocktail table is so pretty and such a perfect match for the tree. A silver and gray feather weather encircles three candles –  two ivory pillar candles of differing heights and a shorter gold pear shaped candle. A few pine cones are lightly sprayed gold and added around the wreath for festive embellishment, along with some elongated decorative glittered gold leaves.

Then pink and purple glass balls are positioned around the wreath for that powerful punch of color.

And for the perfect Christmas Tree topper – purple, blue and gold feathers spraying up from the top of the tree.

This color combination has definite feel good factor. Makes you want to steal this Christmas tree decor idea for your tree, doesn’t it?

Pretty Christmas Table decorations are created using red Christmas balls in three different ways. The result is cohesive, clean and visually stunning.

Red Christmas ball ornaments are piled on a cake platter with some Christmas greens nestled in among them. Glue the balls together with hot glue to prevent them from tumbling all over the table during dinner.

On either side of the pedestal cake stand are beautiful silver candle stick holders, and sitting on top of each, a red Christmas ball.

Notice the candlestick holders don’t have to match but should compliment eachother is appearance to avoid appearing ecclectic.

Also note the varying heights of the candle stick holders – this adds visual interest.

To tie the whole look together a red linen table cloth is used (with a white runner up the center) while green linen napkins are placed on each place setting.

Red votive candle holders are placed just in front of each place setting and a few more red ball ornaments are scattered here and there at the center of the table as the perfect finishing touch for Christmas Table Decorations.
