There is nothing like getting out your Christmas decor each year.  Suddenly your home that felt “just fine” as it was, looks little more full and a little more cheerful! Plus when you add in the smells of evergreen trees and cookies from the oven, it’s like ‘Merry Christmas’ in an instant!

Today I am sharing a few glimpses into my Eclectic Holiday Decor during this wonderful winter season.  This year I was really into bringing in a few shades of blue, it was fun to mix it up a little bit.

Eclectic Holiday Decor

Eclectic holiday decor embraces a playful mix of styles, colors and textures. Think colorful ornaments alongside modern sculptures, handmade crafts nestled among farmhouse pieces and bold patterns with thrifted charm.

It’s a celebration of being unique – where memories and decor come together to create a feeling that reflects your personal holiday taste!

Scrapbook paper JOY Banner

I love making for the holidays and using up bits of scrapbook paper in clever and creative ways is such fun to me.

I used a paper straw, some scrapbook paper, a glittery red paperclip and some chalkboard paint to make this small “JOY” banner that is set out on display in a bright blue vase.

Rustic Reindeer holiday decor

This little reindeer is one of my favorites from Cost Plus World Market.  With a felted body, I love his little lace ribbon saddle and twig antlers and legs!  It’s always a fun surprise to pull him out from my decor boxes come the holidays.

He would look so darling with a mini wreath tied around his neck, also.

Holiday printable decor

Using free printable art that speaks to you and being able to display it in your decor is always an inexpensive way to add personality!  I printed this one out for Thanksgiving, but then decided it was a great message for the Christmas season, as well.

I used modern polka dot washi tape to secure it to the wall.

Farmhouse craft birdhouses

This winter bird house was a fun and quick makeover I did last year. I bought it from a local craft supply store and it was raw wood. I painted the house and stand white. Then added gold paint to a few special spots, glued on a gold button and added lace trim and a fun red and white ribbon detail.

I love this little piece because it feels very winter to me, so I can keep it out much more of the year than simply at Christmas time!

Modern Bird decor

This white rocking bird was a home decor piece from West Elm years ago. I loved it’s simple look, so for the holidays I cut out a green holly leaf from scrapbook paper and a red pom pom ribbon.

Adding small embellishments to your existing decor is a fun way to add some holiday cheer without even buying new!

Sparkly Silver Holiday decor

Nothing says holidays like silver, glitter and shimmery decor! I love this mirrored, shimmery silver tree and think although it’s fun for year round – it really “shines” (get the pun?!) during Christmas time.

I put this shimmery tree up on a small white pedestal to give it a bit more presence.

Speaking of shimmer, this silver glittered snowflake is SO beautiful! I have it hanging on our front door and it makes me smile every time I see it!

Classic Blue Glittery Truck

I found this little glue truck ornament at Target a while ago and now I use it as a lovely little addition to some evergreen trees sitting on our table. A quick snip of the twine and it’s perfect as decor now.

Do you have your Christmas decorations up already?  

When is the earliest you’ll put yours out?
