The holidays are in full swing and we could not be more excited. And to us, nothing rings in this special time of the year then decorating your home, both on the inside and on the outside. Filling your home with Christmas decorations is a great way to get your family or roommates in the holiday spirit.

How can I decorate my house for Christmas? 

Deciding on what direction or theme you want to take for your Christmas decor can be overwhelming! There’s white christmas, colorful lights, famous holiday characters (hey Rudolph), and so much more. For easy and quick ways to add a little bit of holiday cheer to your space, think of adding some garland and string lights to your space. Another fun and easy idea is to light some pine and birch candles to make your home always smell like a Christmas tree 🎄

How can I make my room look Christmas-y? 

Decorating your home for Christmas is one thing, figuring out how to re-configure your room for the holidays is another. It can be difficult to add new festive elements to your room without making it feel a bit cluttered. However, there are a few simple elements you can add to your room that will instantly give it that Christmas-y feel. 

One easy way is to add a minimal wreath to above your bed, or on any exposed wall in your bedroom. With a minimal wreath, your room won’t feel too cluttered. Another decor idea, if you have the space, is to add a miniature tree to your room! That way, you can enjoy the wonder of a Christmas tree from the comfort of your bed. We also always recommend a birch or pine candle because, if your room doesn’t look like Christmas, it will definitely smell like it.

INTERIOR DECOR

Christmas decorations inside your home are a great way to mark the start of the Christmas season. However, there’s a big challenge that comes with interior Christmas decor, and that is finding decor and pieces that blend well with the ambiance you’ve created with your year-round decor and furniture. Do you go with the classic multi-colored Christmas lights even though they might clash with your decor? Do you do a white Christmas theme even if it might not look as fun or festive? There is definitely a lot to consider. Thankfully, that’s what we’re here for. We’ve put together different decor ideas for all the important rooms in your home. The kitchen, the living room, the dining room, each room comes with its own decorative elements. 

Each BUENA decor list contains festive photos for ideas and inspiration, as well as ready-to-go lists of everything you need to bring your winter wonderland to life.

DECOR FOR OUTSIDE

Just like decorating the inside of your home, there are plenty of directions you can take when it comes to accessorizing your front yard. 

How can I decorate my yard for christmas? 

A few of our favorite ways to Christmas-ify our front yard are: 

• Lining the house with string lights
• Writing out a holiday message with string lights so you can send well-wishes to anyone who passes by your home. 
• Adding blow up figures of iconic Christmas characters, like Santa and his reindeer or Olaf from Frozen! 
• If you have a balcony, add some dangling snowflake lights.

View all of these ideas and more in our lists! We also have a list for apartment decoration. The front door of your apartment, or your apartment balcony also presents a great opportunity to show off your holiday spirit to your neighbors.

HOLIDAY RECIPES

Decorations help bring the holiday spirit into your home, but nothing adds ambiance and a feeling of joy like cooking and baking your favorite winter recipes. 

What are traditional Christmas dishes? 

We all have our family recipes that we bring out during the holidays, however, sometimes you want to try something new and different. A few of our meals to cook in this festive month that are traditional, but still delicious are: 

• Ham with a brown sugar glaze….yum 
• A delicious salmon for a leaner main course option 
• Baked Mac ‘n’ Cheese is too good to resist
• Brown sugar glazed carrots for a comforting twist on this classic veggie 

When it comes to recipes, we share recipes and their grocery list, every time — so you know exactly what ingredients you need to order for delivery or pickup. Cheers to a happy holiday season!
