24 Natural Christmas Decor Ideas
Natural Christmas decor is a beautiful way to simplify the holidays and bring a bit of the outdoors into your home.
There are so many stunning, natural elements to work with when it comes to Christmas decorating, so I love to use them as much as possible.
Today I’m sharing 24 beautiful, natural Christmas decor ideas to help inspire you to bring the outdoors in this holiday season!
There are so many beautiful and simple ideas here that I can’t wait to try in my own home!
1. DIY a Christmas Wreath
You can’t get more classic than a fresh Christmas wreath made with evergreen branches.
Use a pre-made wire wreath form and floral wire to attach the branches to the form.
Then, add in any other natural elements you like, such as pinecones, berries, or eucalyptus.
We love the look of this simple evergreen wreath, but you could also add on a bow or even some fairy lights to dress it up even more.
2. Hang Sprigs of Greenery
One of the easiest ways to bring Christmas cheer into any room is to simply hang a few sprigs of greenery.
Wreaths and garland are great for this, but you can also hang individual sprigs from curtain rods and shelves.
This is a great way to add a touch of Christmas to a space without going overboard.
I love adding a sprig of greenery to the top of a picture frame or mirror, or hanging them from the hardware on my cabinets.
3. Decorate With Pinecones
Pinecones are a classic natural Christmas decor item.
You can sprinkle them throughout your home or use them in a more unique way like these pinecone fire starters.
To make these fire starters, simply drill a hole through the center of each pinecone and then thread a piece of twine through the hole.
Tie the twine in a knot to secure it and then dip the pinecones in melted wax. Let them dry, and then they are ready to use!
4. Add Some Festive Fruit
Fruit is a simple way to add a pop of color to your decor.
You can use lemons and limes for a more traditional green and yellow color scheme, or you can use red apples for a classic Christmas look.
You can also add a bowl of fruit to your coffee table or dining table centerpiece.
It’s a great way to add a festive touch without having to spend a lot of time or money.
5. String Popcorn Garland
Stringing popcorn is a classic holiday pastime, and it’s a great way to add a little bit of nostalgia to your tree.
Opt for a simple popcorn string, or add in cranberries for a pop of red.
To make a popcorn garland, thread a needle with a piece of string and then push the needle through the center of each piece of popcorn.
Once you’ve reached your desired length, tie off the ends and hang it on your tree.
6. Create a Natural Centerpiece
If you don’t want to go all out with natural Christmas decorations, a simple centerpiece is a great way to add a little festive decor to your home.
This one uses a variety of pine branches and eucalyptus leaves for a simple and elegant look.
The best part about using natural elements is that they’re often free or very inexpensive.
You can use clippings from your own yard or ask your local tree farm if they have any extra branches.
7. Put Together a Christmas Tree Made of Branches
If you’re not a fan of the traditional Christmas tree, or you’re looking to add a second tree to your home, consider making a tree out of branches.
This tree may not be as big as the one you usually put up, but it can be a great way to add a festive touch to a small space.
You can also use this idea to add a tree to another room in your home.
We love the idea of putting a small tree in the kitchen or the bathroom to make the whole house feel festive.
8. Make a Statement With a Birch Tree
If you’re looking to make a statement with your Christmas decor, a birch tree is the way to go.
You can find these trees at the craft store, or even make your own using birch tree branches.
Then, you can decorate your birch tree like you would a traditional Christmas tree, or you can leave it bare for a minimalist look.
9. Add a Eucalyptus Garland
If you haven’t noticed, eucalyptus is a hot holiday decor trend. This fresh greenery is not only beautiful, but it also smells amazing.
Use it to create a simple garland for your mantel or staircase.
To make this eucalyptus garland, cut a piece of twine to your desired length. Then, tie small bunches of eucalyptus to the twine using floral wire.
Hang the garland by tying the ends of the twine to nails or hooks.
10. Decorate With Candles
Candles are a classic way to add warmth and ambiance to your Christmas decor.
You can use them in a variety of ways, from traditional candlesticks to potted candles and everything in between.
Candles are especially beautiful when used in a centerpiece.
You can use a variety of candles and candle holders, like the ones used here, to create a stunning centerpiece for your Christmas tablescape.
