Decorating with Christmas Trees Throughout the Home

Amazing Christmas Ideas

Think outside the box and discover the joy of decorating each room with it’s own unique Christmas tree.

We’re use to having our Christmas Tree in our largest room of the house, which is usually the family room. Adding Christmas trees to other rooms as well will continue the celebration and joy throughout the home.

Consider decorating a tree for each child’s room. Most bedrooms are small so a small Christmas tree could be placed on the chest or dresser. Decorate the tree with ornaments that reflect the child’s interests and use ribbons to carry out the color scheme. You can also purchase ornaments with your child’s name printed on them such as this personalized Santa ornament. That gives the tree a very special personal touch. And I especially like these Lil’ Angel Girl and Lil’ Angel Boy Personalized Ornaments. Those are so adorable!

Very small trees placed on kitchen counter tops, the refrigerator, or cabinets dress up the kitchen, especially when placed in groups of three using different sizes. They can be dressed up with berries or small fruit picks or just sprayed with a little snow. You can also use one or more these collectible tabletop Christmas trees. They don’t require any extra decorating. Just place them anywhere and they instantly light up a room with Christmas. I myself have several of these.

The dining room is the perfect place to add an additional tree; especially if Christmas is the only time it is used. This room should look especially beautiful and festive. A slender Christmas tree in the corner, a small tabletop tree placed on top of a hutch, sideboard or small table you have added for this purpose will add decorative excitement to your celebration. Make your dining room special. The entire room should sparkle with joy and excitement. A Christmas tree placed in the appropriate spot will add enchantment that is unique to this time of the year.

The entrance hall is the perfect place for a Christmas tree. It will immediately shout “Merry Christmas” to everyone who enters the front door, whether it’s you and your family or guests with whom you want to share the holidays. It should of course look very special since this is the first room your visitors see as they enter your home. And ideal tree for the entrance hall is The Tree with Father Christmas.

If you’re decorating on a budget, the use of ribbons and bows will go a long way in adding elegance and charm without breaking the bank. Buy the ribbon when it’s on sale and make your own bows. It’s simple to do and simply elegant. A little Christmas tree will wish you a Merry Christmas in every room. Happy Holidays and may the Lord bring happiness and peace to your home.

This will be my kids 1st X-mas of having their own trees in their room, and they are looking forward to it. My husband loves the smell of fresh pine so we’re having that in our formal living room. Since I decorate my tree with Santas, and they’re quite heavy, I have my “fake” tree in the family room. I’m kind of stumped with what to do with my guest bathroom. Any suggestions are welcome. I’ve looked for Santa towels, they are not appealing to me at all.

My family started years ago decorating the entire house. We put greenery over the kitchen door, lights on the mantle in the family room and never skip on the outside docors in the back of the house since that is the part of the house where we come in and out of the house. Small Christmas scenes set up in the bathrooms add to the decor and Christmas ambiance for anyone who enters those rooms. Never skip on Christmas!

A Christmas tree in the bathroom would be adorable decorated with little fancy soaps. Doesn’t have to be the red and green type, but decorate it with the colors of your bathroom. As an alternative why not tiny bathroom items from dollhouses tied with pretty ribbons and hung on the tree?? In other rooms, if your child is a computer wiz, why not use CD’s, old mice, and even the old “ribbon” from inside a computer to decorate, add lights and the shiny CDs will sparkle. My son had a collection of keychains he bought as souveniers everywhere we went - they are adorable as ornaments, plus you can smile as you remember all the fun times you had at each place visited. I tuck several in my own tree now (he is gone and on his own now - a grown man) But we have had several trees in the house when they were younger - each with a “personality” that reflected the decorator or the room. Have fun and BE CREATIVE!!

this is one of my favorite things to do is to decorate Christmas trees! My main tree is decorated with Birds, Bells, Angels, Christmas balls instruments, frosted riendeer, and berries. I try to stick to 2 or 3 main colors, red and white with gold. Then I have the dept. 56 Dickens Village under the tree with trains running around. For my second tree I have a miniature Hallmark tree with a very mini Christmas village all setup and a very small train set going around this tree. I’ve been collecting these mini ornaments for over 10 years so I have quite alot of them. My Kitchen tree is with of coarse baking ornaments, hallmark, and I have a nature tree with a village and last a Hallmark Fairy tree. have a very Merry and Blessed Holiday Season, Bernadette Lasorsa

I have decorated my home from top to bottom for the past forty four years and my children , grandchildren and now, our great grandchildren can’t waite to see what Grandmas done each year. They love it. I have snow scenes throughout my home and each one is different The children go from room to room to see each village. I have a tree in each room and one is decorated with all the things our children made while in school , they enjoy looking at them and remembering fun they had making them. I also used the small dolls and trucks they had as children along with pieces of their crib mobiles that once adorned their cribs. Of all the trees , this one is the one they all enjoy being around.For the last couple of years my grandchildren have been bringing me small items of theirs to place 0n the tree , It has become a real center piece not just for them but for visitors as well.
Merry Christmas everyone May God richly bless you this beautiful season.

For a personalized touch, try adding small photographs to your tree. I used some small frames that were designed for scrapbooking. I also added Christmas photographs of when my children were younger to the outside of small boxes that I use each year to wrap in. Be sure to make color copies so you don’t lose your originals.

I, too, put a tree in almost every room. I have a tree with nothing but snowmen on it in my dining room. My kitchen tree is decorated with red & white check ribbon as garland and small kitchen utensils as ornaments. For a tree topper, I use a Santa hat and have a red tree skirt. Very festive! One year we collected a lot of sand dollars from the beach, bleached them white, put them all over the tree tied with red ribbons and for a tree topper, we used a star fish. It was a lot of memories from vacations at the beach. My main tree is a hodge-podge of old and new ornaments, those made by my children and lots and lots of white lights. Christmas is wonderful!!!

I love Christmas! I have a Christmas tree in almost every room. The main tree is 9ft tall and decorated with hundreds of ornaments collected over 30 years. The family room has a corner tree which my boys get to decorate with their ornaments from school and ones that have been bought for them. In the dining room is a “star trek” themed tree, with blue lights and all star trek hallmark ornaments. In the sitting room is an irish tree, all green and a shamrock tree topper. In each bedroom (4) is a ceramic tree. My boys love having a tree in their bedroom, we leave them lit even during the day, to make it festive. The guest bathroom even has a tree which was stitched by a friend and I have framed it. The kitchen has a feather tree. I also have glass trees thoughout the house on tables and shelves. It makes it very festive!!

I’m so glad to meet someone that loves Christmas as much as I do. I have had a tree in everyroom of my house for about 20yrs. My house just glows and looks like a story book home. I have had as many as 23 different trees at one time scattered all over the house from 2ft.trees on top of chests to 7ft.trees in each room with garlands and swags to match the trees. My friends are amazed to see the bathrooms decorated for christmas. Can’t wait to start this year, this is how I found your site. Thanks for the ideas, I’m running out.

We have a tree in every room. Living room - our “family” tree. It has all the ornaments from when our kids were younger (kids are now 25, 22, 16) and when we were first married (been married 28 yrs), 2 in the nook (blue & white) and a fiber optic spinning one, 2 in our bedroom (white Victorian, and a small one on my cedar chest (w/very small packages), 2 in the family room (12 ft high one) w/burgandy and gold large ornaments and a “woodland tree” that we found on the side of the road in a ditch! (all woodland ornaments - bears, ducks, pheasants, various birds, cranberries, pinecones, etc.), 1 in the dining room (red and silver), one in my daughters room (decorated in candy ornaments and she has her m&m’s from past years that are with their Christmas clothes on. I also have 4 manger scenes up, greenery all over the kitchen cabinets, Santas, angels, snowmen and a lot more. Someone I know said “it always looks like Christmas threw up in your house”. We love it and hate to see it down. One of my kids had a great suggestion - put timers on all the tree so we don’t have to always plug them in and take them out.

My mom does this, every year. She has a huge tree that goes in her family room, then another that goes in the foyeur, being the first thing you see as soon as you come into her home. I love coming home for Christmas because the feeling of mom’s home for the holidays just puts my soul at ease. I’m really really looking forward to Christmas 08! God Bless!

My husband is a soldier and is currently training before leaving for afghanistan. He will be home for two days around Thanksgiving. My son who is 4 and I, are trying to get the whole house decorated for him, for an early Christmas. My theme for my tree is all red white, and blue, from ribbon and beads to the ribbon draped around it. However I am on a very tight budget, but would really like to suprise him with a beautifully decorated americana themed house. If anyone has any ideas of decorating on a budget, or has any ideas for homemade decorations please let me know. We have 22 days and counting until he gets home. God Bless Everyone and Have a wonderful Christmas holdiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year was the first time I decorated my own flat and decided way too late that I wanted a fake white Christmas tree. As a result I had a very cute, silver candle tree. This will go into the bedroom this year as I bought by white tree nice and early. I have a 1 bedroom flat so that’s already the two main rooms done.
For the bathroom I have snowman towels which my mum gave me as a present last year, but the easiest way to decorate a bathroom is use window stickers or gel gems around your bathroom mirror and maybe a christmassy candle by the bath which is enough to transform a bathroom. Find a cinnamon soap too. Even better if your mirror decorations are of Christmas trees as then you are keeping a tree in every room!
Because I had the luxury of starting entirely from scratch I’ve chosen a colour theme for my decorations that blends in nicely with my existing decor. That way even un-christmassy soft furnishings look equally part of the decorations.

reply to jen (no.4)

for a guest room, if it is being used over christmas then a small table top tree would be a lovely touch. decorate with small silver or coloured baubles.

i would not go for santa towels, insted a gold or red star may be easier to find and thier is a wider range.

lol maxie im only 14 aswell =D

merry christmas and god bless y’all
