Winter Wonderland Decor Ideas

Let’s face it, it can be hard to keep up with changing out your home decor to match the season, or occasion, or however you operate in your house. Personally, I love getting out the winter wonderland decor (yes, I’m that person that decorates before Thanksgiving) – and who knows, maybe you are too! Either way, I’ve put together my favorite winter wonderland decor ideas so you can enjoy a white Christmas from the comfort of your own living room.

How do you decorate a room like winter wonderland?

I mean first, you need a vision. What does a winter wonderland theme look like in your mind?

Personally, I would start with the small touches – really anything that remind you of the holiday season. You can easy DIY your own paper snowflakes, attach small string lights/twinkle lights to your candle holders on your tablescape, or even add trinkets – such as little snowmen or winter pinecones.

Additionally, I always love to add a touch of warmth to my decor. Remember, you’re going to be looking at this stuff all season long – it’s not just for a winter wonderland party – so make sure the decorations give off cozy vibes. I like adding in faux fur blankets to my living room decor – it brings the mood up.

How do I make my yard look like winter wonderland?

Ooooo, so you want to bring the Christmas decor OUTSIDE – nice! Let’s talk some trending ideas you can incorporate. First – what’s the occasion? Do you just want to amp up or curb appeal or are you hosting a winter wedding in your backyard? Maybe you’re throwing a raging winter wonderland gathering – so you need all the party decor out there.

Whatever the reason may be – you can start with hanging holiday decor throughout the yard. I like stringing garland along fences and overhangs – and a feet or two apart supplementing with Christmas wreaths on the fence posts. Afterwards, I’ll hang Christmas lights on the fence.

If you really need some good party ideas – head to Home Depot and get some inflatable Santas to amp up that entryway. Or – if you have a large natural tree outside, you can string some lights and do some legit Christmas tree decorating – maybe if it’s cold out you’ll get some actual icicles!

If you don’t live in a place where it snows – you can always blow fake snow! When I lived in California, I would always do this before hosting a holiday party – guests really love the all-out winter wonderland Christmas decor. It reminds people of something straight out of a fairytale!
