Hot Chocolate Station

Form meets function with this kitchen island centerpiece that has every hot chocolate fixin' to keep you warm and cozy throughout the entire holiday season.

Stockings Hung on the Staircase with Care

If you don't have a mantel, try a staircase railing (ensconced in garland, of course) for hanging up your stockings.

Cavalcade of Candles

What's more festive than a spread of flickering holiday candles? Pull out all the candles and candle holders you own and parade them down the center of your table or mantel. More is more!

Pinecone Centerpiece

Gather up some pine cones (or pick them up at Target) and voilà! Cluster them on top of a runner and you'll have an instant beautiful Christmas tablescape. You can use them au natural, or you can spray paint them gold or silver for a shimmery effect that dances in the candlelight.

Updated Holiday Wreath

Who says a Christmas wreath has to be made of pine? It's certainly not the only greenery in town. Try an updated wreath made of eucalyptus for a contemporary twist on this classic Christmas decoration.

Rustic-Chic Strands of Wooden Beads

For your holiday tree this year, swap the perishable popcorn-and-cranberry garland for strands of timeless wooden beads—unfinished or dyed by dipping them into RIT dye. You can also buy them ready-made at Crate & Barrel.

Wreaths in the Window

Wreaths aren't just for the front door. Try hanging them around on large windows.

Make Your Own Eucalyptus Ornaments

Buy clear ball ornaments like these and house a fresh sprig of eucalyptus or pine inside each. Attach an ornament hook or twine and you're good to go.
