Choose a white Christmas tree and decorate it with white and silver ornaments.
Pair it with a white mantel and stockings, and you’ve got a cozy, neutral Christmas look.
There’s something about a white Christmas tree that feels so magical and wintery.
A white tree can go with any decor style and can be dressed up or down. I love how it looks with these simple ornaments and the white mantel.

White and gold is a classic color combination that looks especially elegant during the holidays.
This dining room uses the colors to create a glamorous look with gold-trimmed plates, gold flatware, and a gold centerpiece.
The neutral white color palette keeps the space from feeling too over-the-top while still creating a festive atmosphere.
3. Mix and match different textures
A neutral color palette is the perfect backdrop for bringing in a variety of different textures.
In this room, you can see how the homeowner used a mix of wood, metal, greenery, and even some cozy knit stockings to add visual interest.
Textures are a great way to add depth to your decor, and the more the better!
Don’t be afraid to bring in lots of different textures, even in a neutral color palette.
4. Add some sparkle to your mantel
When it comes to decorating for Christmas, your mantel is the perfect place to start.
It’s the focal point of the room and you can really go all out with your decor.
If you prefer a more neutral look, use a variety of greenery, white candlesticks, and a few gold and silver ornaments to create a classic Christmas mantel.
I also love to add a string of lights to my mantel to give it a warm, cozy glow in the evenings.
5. Create a simple but beautiful centerpiece
I love to create a beautiful centerpiece for my dining room table and my kitchen island.
For this one, I used a mix of fresh eucalyjson the table and added a few simple Christmas trees and some candle sticks.
6. Add some color with fresh fruit
If you want to add a pop of color to your neutral decor, fresh fruit is a great way to do it! I love the look of green apples, oranges, or pomegranates.
You can also add a bowl of fresh fruit to your kitchen or dining room table for a simple, colorful centerpiece.
7. Use a lot of candles
There’s something so magical about Christmas lights,
but if you want to keep things a little more neutral, you can use candles to create that same warm, cozy glow.
Here, I used a combination of flameless candles and taper candles to create a pretty centerpiece on my dining table.
I also added a few candles in the windows and on the mantel to create a cohesive look throughout the room.
8. Create a magical look with fairy lights
Fairy lights are a great way to add some sparkle to your home.
You can use them on your Christmas tree, around your fireplace, or even on your walls.
Fairy lights come in a variety of different styles, so you can choose the ones that best fit your decor.
You can also find them in a variety of colors, so you can use them to add a pop of color to your neutral decor if you want.
9. Add some rustic charm
If you love the idea of a cozy Christmas, then a little bit of rustic charm will go a long way.
You can get the look by adding a few burlap or plaid bows to your tree and hanging a burlap wreath.
A few wooden signs and a beautiful wooden nativity scene are the perfect finishing touches to this look.
10. Create a winter wonderland in your home
If you love the look of snow-covered trees and frosty windows, you can recreate that winter wonderland look in your home.
Start with a flocked Christmas tree, and add plenty of white and cream accents.
Faux fur pillows and throws, white stockings, and mercury glass ornaments will give you the perfect frosty color palette.
11. Create a simple and elegant look
You don’t have to go over-the-top to create a simple and elegant look in your home. Just focus on the basics like the tree, mantel, and dining table.
Keep the decor neutral and use lots of greenery to create a cohesive look. And don’t forget to add a few candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
12. Use a lot of metallic accents
I love using metallics in my decor year-round, but especially at Christmas. They just feel so festive!
I usually stick to one or two metallics and sprinkle them throughout my decor.
This year, I used a lot of gold and brass, and I love how it turned out. I used brass candlesticks, gold ornaments, and gold ribbon on my tree.
I also used a gold starburst mirror as the focal point of my mantel.
13. Add some greenery to your decor
A simple way to add some holiday cheer to your neutral Christmas decor is to add some greenery.
Fresh or faux garlands, wreaths, and sprigs of greenery can be added to your decor in so many different ways.
You can hang a eucalyptus wreath over your bed, drape a faux pine garland on your mantel, or tuck in some sprigs of greenery in your kitchen shelves.
The possibilities are endless!
14. Use a lot of glass
Glass ornaments, vases, and candle holders are a great way to add some sparkle to your neutral Christmas decor.
The glass reflects the light in the room and the sparkle of the Christmas lights, and it can be used to create a variety of looks, from classic to modern.
You can even add a little bit of color to your neutral Christmas decor by using pastel or jewel-toned glass ornaments.
15. Create a cozy look
