(Using Bows, Wrapped Photos, Kitchen Pendants & More!)
Holiday decorating doesn’t always require a full remodel, a giant tree, or a Pinterest-level budget. Sometimes, the most charming and eye-catching touches come from simple, creative details — especially when bows, ribbon, and a little imagination come into play.
Here are some easy, beautiful Christmas décor ideas you can try this season to make your home feel festive without the stress.
🎁 1. Wrap Your Wall Art Like Christmas Presents
If you have framed art, mirrors, or even pantry doors, this trick instantly adds holiday cheer.
How to do it:
-
Choose wrapping paper that matches your décor (classic plaid, metallic gold, minimalist kraft paper, etc.).
-
Wrap the front like you're wrapping a gift — no need to remove the frame!
-
Add a ribbon across the center and finish with a bow.
-
For a cleaner look, attach the ribbon on the back with painter’s tape.
Why it works:
It turns everyday décor into part of your holiday theme and adds color + texture to any room.
Pro tip:
Do a whole gallery wall for a dramatic “gift wall” effect.
🎀 2. Add Bows to Pantry Doors, Cabinets & Closets
This has gone viral for a reason — it’s adorable, simple, and instantly festive.
Try this in your home:
-
Tie oversized velvet or satin bows to your pantry handle.
-
Add matching bows to your upper kitchen cabinets.
-
Put mini bows on knobs for a subtle but cohesive look.
-
Choose one color (like red, forest green, champagne, or burgundy) to keep it elegant.
Pro tip:
Use command hooks on the inside of the door to hold larger ribbon perfectly in place.
🍽️ 3. Turn Your Pendant Lights Into “Mistletoe”
One of the cutest hacks for kitchens!
How to do it:
-
Take a pendant light and tie a thick ribbon around the top.
-
Add a bow, some faux greenery, or a cluster of small ornaments.
-
Let the ribbon hang down slightly so it mimics mistletoe.
It’s flirty, fun, and makes your kitchen instantly photo-worthy.
Bonus:
Do this with every pendant so they look like a row of floating Christmas presents.
✨ 4. Garland Touches in Unexpected Places
Think beyond the staircase and fireplace.
Try adding garland to:
-
The top of picture frames
-
The sides of your TV
-
Around mirrors
-
On entryway tables
-
Around kitchen windows
Add fairy lights or small bows for an extra cozy effect.
