7 Minimalist Holiday Decor Ideas To Enhance Your Home Aesthetic
If you're ready to scale back on your holiday decor (while still creating a gorgeous, festive space), you've come to the right place. Minimalism doesn't mean having no decor at all; it means having less, more quality decor. Decorations don’t need to be excessive to be showstopping. Approach design with a theme that sings holiday cheer but doesn’t crowd your space. Here are 7 minimalist holiday decor ideas for anyone looking to enhance their already minimalist home aesthetic.
Go Bare
When creating a minimalist Christmas setting, focus on only the essentials. This stripped-down Christmas tree trio features simple white lights and a few golden balls. The look is calming and inviting without all the extra trimming, especially when eyesore tree stands are hidden in woven baskets.
Ensure Easy Flow
Construct a flow with open walkways and spaces. Use your creativity to highlight different sections or elements throughout your home, and forgo decorating every inch. Christmas adornments should spark the holiday spirit, and being strategic about your placement will make for a cozy home atmosphere.
Opt for Neutral Colors and Tones
Using neutral colors and natural tones is the essence of minimalist looks. Neutral colors give off soft waves of comfort. Bring in the natural colors of Christmas with metallic accents, or you could replace any bright and bold articles with softer shades of the same colors.
Remember: Less is More!
Keep it simple! Remember that sometimes less is more. Selecting one or two statement pieces can make your home stand out more than a home cluttered with holiday objects. A minimalist approach can offer elegance with a hint of whimsy if you nail the look.
Make Use of Soft Textures
Soft minimalism uses soft textures to create a warm and cozy feel. Bring in fuzzy blankets and other warm materials to create a comfy space. Soft textures should feel soft-to-the-touch, but also easy on the eyes. It can be as simple as throwing a sheepskin over a chair, as seen in this winter wonderland.
Use Statement Pieces In Place of Busy Displays
Statement pieces are eye-catching and can tie a room together. Choose objects that grab your attention, in place of multiple strands of garland or a tree full of ornaments. Pick out ornaments that announce the holidays rather than fade into the background.
Replace Don't Add
Instead of adding more and more decor items to your home, swap what you've already got. In this space, whiskey glasses have been traded for copper Moscow mule mugs to match the shiny copper trees, and holiday-plaid took the place of standard drink napkins.
