Colourful Christmas Decor Ideas

December 10, 2019~ Christmas, House Tour

Normally I’m in no less than 3 Christmas house tours, but this year is our first with JB, so we’re keeping things kind of simple. I’m sharing my colourful Christmas decor ideas with y’all, and I hope you enjoy them!

If you’re joining me from Our Fifth House, welcome! Don’t forget to head over to Efforless Style once you’re done here! All the other participants are linked at the bottom, so maybe sure you check them all out.

Colourful Christmas Decor Ideas

Our Christmas decor touches a variety of elements this year: wood, florals, metallics, and yarn. Each of the scenes I present has one of those elements, or a combination thereof.

Nutcracker display

Do you remember the MCM Console table we built this summer? For the holiday season, it’s home to my collection of nutcrackers. One for each year we’ve been together! I’ve acquired them from stores, markets, and family members – they’re truly a collected gang of memories

Colourful Christmas decor ideas come from a variety of different textures and materials. In our home, they make for a cozy and playful home this year.

I added a simple green garland, and some small wood ornaments as extra flair, in keeping with the idea of wood.

Poinsettia Kitchen Decor

I love the bold blue cabinets in our retro glam kitchen, so I was looking for a contrasting colour to set things off: red!  Poinsettias are in season, lush, and in this case, red!

Set in my collection of large ginger jars, they really create quite the scene in the kitchen.

All of this as prep for my ladies Christmas Brunch, which was a hoot.

Simple Christmas Ornament Bathroom

In our pink glam powder room, I kept it really simple and added two large ornaments under the sink, and a red deer on the top of the sink.

Because the space is so small, and already has a lot going on, I kept things clean and on palette to avoid distraction.

Mid Century Dining Room

I always gone big and bold in the dining room, with grand tablescapes and elaborate sideboard displays, but this year I’ve got a few items on display.

Atomic Glam Nursery

Did you catch the My Home Style tree hop two weeks ago? I shared my Tinsel and pastel tree that’s set-up in the nursery.

I kept her nursery decor whimsical, with a cascade of toys wrapped in big bows. You don’t need much more in a kids room.

Pom Pom Bedroom Decor

I brought Christmas into the bedroom for the first time – don’t ask Dan what he thinks.

I’ve kept things tactile with ornaments and pom poms, and only a few things on the sideboard. If this goes well, maybe I can sneak in a tree next year.

Bruce is perpetually confounded by JB. You can tell he doesn’t quite know where/how to position himself around her.

I made some felt hand puppets for June, and they’re totes adorbs, and a great way to include more skin tones in your child’s play. Head to the blog to see how I made ours ❤️

I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️
