I have a friend who finishes her Christmas gift shopping in July. She also has her house fully decorated about 4 weeks before Christmas. I’m the opposite of that.
Anyone else only have their tree up and we’re about 10 days from the big day? Well, that’s something right? That’s what I thought too!
If you’re looking for some quick decorating ideas to get your home ready for Christmas, we got 3 tips for you that will go a long way.
You’ll need some christmas ball ornaments, glass or clear plastic jars, a wreath for each of your windows, some wide, luxurious looking ribbon, some Command hooks, some flameless candles and lots of greenery.
Fill up some glass jars and vases with Christmas ball ornaments.

Christmas ornaments are a cheap and easy way to add holiday decor to every surface in your home. I love filling up glass jars with ornaments but you could use ornaments in any type of bowl or tray or even inside a decorative lantern.
Layer different shapes and use the rule of threes to add depth to your christmas decor vignettes.
Wanna make them fancier? Add a string of fairy lights and pine cones.
Hang a wreath from every window using a wide ribbon.

This is a super easy decor idea. You can use any type of wreath. Choose a luxurious looking wide ribbon and hang it from the top of the window to about eye level. Those 3M hanging hooks that can be easily removed are perfect for this!
You can use this idea to decorate your staircase as well. Just hang a wreath with a decorative ribbon every couple of feet up your staircase.
If your wreath is more on the plain side, add a bow to the bottom or add some ornaments to make it more festive. More is always more during the holidays, right?
Use greenery as your multi-purpose secret weapon for holiday decor.

If you’re a last minute decorator like me, my advice to you is buy lots and lots of greenery. Garlands are a great! There are so many ways to use it in different places around the home to create a cohesive holiday look throughout.
I love using real greenery vs. the faux, and I choose to keep my candles on the faux side. That way I don’t have to worry about anything catching on fire.
You can combine greenery and candles on your mantle top and add some beautiful stockings to complete the look.
Use greenery and candles to create a beautiful centerpiece for your Christmas table.
You can add a touch of glitter or layer in some ornaments to the greenery and candle mix to add depth to your decorations.
Easy peasy. You got this. Merry Christmas and Happiest of Holidays.
