Here are some of our favorite winter display ideas to help you create a winter wonderland in your home.
Freshen Up with Winter Flowers & Plants
One of our favorite winter decoration ideas is freshening up your home with winter plants and flowers. While you may associate flowers and foliage with spring and summer, there are plenty of plants that signify winter, including everything from poinsettias, potted holly, Japanese cherry blossoms, blue perennials, and lilies. While winter flowers are great for centerpieces and vases, winter plants can have more longevity to last through the entire winter season. Now sure where to place your winter flowers and plants? Start with the entryway. By displaying winter flower arrangements and hearty plants in the entryway, you’ll make sure they’re the first things your guest sees when entering the house. From there, think of the places where you and your winter guests will spend the most time. Then choose a different flower arrangement or type of plant for each individual room. Not only will they look great in shared spaces like living rooms, family rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens, but they can also create a homey feel if you’re looking to upgrade your guest room for the holidays.
Cozy Up with Winter Blankets & Bedding
For many, winter means colder weather, warm beverages, and evenings spent huddled around the fireplace with their family, which is why anything that makes your living room and bedroom more cozy is on the top of our list of favorite winter decorating ideas. To get started, find ways to display your favorite fuzzy winter blankets and plaid throws all around your family room. Not only can they add to the cozy feel of the room, but they will also come in handy when someone wants to snuggle up on the couch with a good book or their favorite movie.
Looking for winter bedroom ideas? Try switching out your bedding with something warm and festive.

Swap-In Your Winter Throw Pillows
Swapping in winter throw pillows is one of the best inexpensive winter decorating ideas for your home. In fact, swapping throw pillows can work great for every season, and can keep your home looking fresh, stylish, and timely all year round. Not sure how to get started? Try looking for throw pillows in the traditional winter colors of blues, grays, silvers, and golds. If you’re looking for something a bit more holiday-centric, reds and greens look great throughout the winter months, even once Christmas is over. While winter colors are a great place to start, you should also think about patterns and designs that speak to the winter months. Throw pillows with reindeer, snowflakes, and other winter favorites can make your home look incredibly festive, which is especially good if you have small children or grandchildren. There are also a wide range of winter patterns and materials to use, including plaid, flannel, microfiber, and other plush fabrics that take coziness to the next level. The most important thing when choosing a throw pillow is to take your couch color into account, as not every throw pillow will coordinate perfectly with every couch color. While neutral-colored couches are the easiest to coordinate, even if you have a bright or bold colored couch, you’ll still have plenty of throw pillow options to choose from.
Get Creative with Winter Tablescapes
While Christmas tablescapes get most of the attention, winter tablescapes are one of our favorite January decorating ideas. Rather than focusing on channeling your Christmas spirit, winter tablescapes are more focused on the beauty of the season itself. To get started, think about the types of winter decorations that aren’t holiday specific. From pine wreaths and garland to snowflakes and pinecones, there are plenty of winter decorations that don’t need to come down with the Christmas tree. Looking for something a little more timeless? Try creating a beautiful centerpiece of winter plants and flowers. While there are plenty of flower arrangements perfect for winter, you can also try storing them in a festive winter vase or planter for added beauty.
Don’t Forget to Decorate the Mantel
Wondering how to decorate the mantel after Christmas is over? Swap out the hanging stockings for decorative snowflakes, winter plants, candle displays, gold wreaths, winter wall art, pinecones, and other festive winter decorations. Looking for something a bit more subtle? Decorating a fireplace mantel is the perfect opportunity to showcase those winter colors with home décor that shines in whites, blues, golds, grays, and silvers. Remember, just because Christmas is over, doesn’t mean you have to get rid of all of your holiday-themed decorations. While you might want to take down anything Santa-related, wreaths, nativity scenes, mistletoe, and garland can stay up through the winter months.
Go Crazy for Candles
Winter decorations don’t have to be expensive. In fact, decorating with candles is one of our favorite inexpensive winter decorating ideas. To get started, try placing some tea lights anywhere you want to highlight, whether it be the mantel, your bookshelves, or the dinner table. The beautiful white lights will only accentuate your other decorations. You can also try combining candles of various heights, sizes, and colors by putting them into a beautiful display on countertops, shelves, and coffee tables. But don’t forget that candles aren’t just winter décor, they can also make your home smell like the holidays. Choose from holiday scents like cinnamon, pine needles, fresh baked Christmas cookies, egg nog, and other scented candles that will transport you right back to your childhood Christmas parties.
Get Festive with Winter Door Decorations
Whether it’s your front door or a door or your closet door, there are plenty of ways to create fun winter door decorations that will make your home look festive throughout the winter months. While the most obvious door decoration is a wreath, there are plenty of ways to take your wreath to the next level. You can try adding bows, bells, or ribbons to a pine wreath or creating a new take on the wreath by going gold or creating your own winter decorations that culminate in the round wreath shape we’ve come to associate with the holidays. Want to honor the people you love in your life and create your own DIY winter decor? Try creating a gallery wall on an inside door where you can hang all of the holiday cards your family and friends have sent over the years.
