CHRISTMAS DECORATE WITH ME 2025 || CHRISTMAS TREE AND MAIN LIVING ROOM DECORATING

Hey everyone! Welcome or welcome back to my channel, it's Gardeliza here. Today's video I'm going to be continuing with my Christmas decorating series but today's video I'm going to be focusing in my living space. So we are going to be doing my Christmas mental decorating, shelf styling, putting up and decorating our Christmas tree. So hopefully there will be a lot of Christmas and holiday inspiration and ideas for your home decor so I hope that you enjoy this video, thank you so much for watching and let's get into this Christmas decorating. Today we are starting by putting up our Christmas tree, I actually did this right after finishing the entryway and console table decor. As I mentioned before I brought back my favorite natural seagrass tricolor, I just love the organic texture it adds. This is the Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Twinkling Christmas Tree and putting it up is honestly so easy, it needs little to almost no fluffing at all, I bought it last year and I'm still so happy with it, specially because it has that dimmable lights and you can switch between warm white and multicolor setting, I definitely don't regret buying this tree. But for my Christmas living room decor, I like to begin by decorating the mantel, to secure the garlands I'm using this command core clips that I got from Amazon and they are great to keep the garlands together and in place. This year I used the popular cedar garlands from Walmart and I really like them because they are super flexible, soft and very easy to work with. I decided to go with an asymmetrical garland design on my mantel again just like I've done for the past two years. I used three garlands in total to cover the entire mantel and creating a long tail cascading down one side. I saved all the small branch pieces from the mimosa stems I bought at Hobby Lobby last year and I'm tucking them into the garlands to fill in that corner where the tail cascades just to make it look fuller of red accents and creating that wild woodsy look. I also added three of the burgundy floral stems I ordered from Etsy to give it that sweet and romantic look. And I added some pinecombs branch pieces from the pine and pinecombs stems from Hobby Lobby. I found these berry peaks at Target and I took the branches off the peak so I could tuck them in individually and using my fingers I bent the end of the wire to make a type of hook to hook it in the garland and then I just added layers and layers of each one of them to create a fuller red look. And then I'm adding the remaining berry branches and the mimosa pieces all the way along the garland to give it more color and texture. To hide any exposed wire from the garland I'm using some pieces of these cedar stems that I got from Walmart and are exactly the same cedar leaves of the garland and I'm just placing over the wire to make it disappear and make it look more natural, fuller and lush. And next I added the traditional twinkling lights all the way along the garland. I found these twinkling wire lights in Amazon and I love that the wire is green which helps to make it more seamless. And next to hang the stockings I used these metal clips I got at Target and now they will be more convenient since the command cords are right on that area and I need something thinner to fit in that space. I'm hanging first the red ruffled stocking by my Texas house I got at Walmart this year and I added a thin bow using the dark brown for these red stockings. And next I'm hanging these brown stockings I got from Amazon and I also added a bow with the opposite color. And the last one will be these beige stockings that are also one of the stockings I got from Amazon and I added a burgundy bow. And next in the other corner I'm also adding one of the metal clips to hang the bells. I made this cluster of bells using the small tibetan bells I had from the last two years using a medium sized one at the bottom just to add that subtle visual variation in size. And next it's time to decorate our Christmas tree and I'm starting by adding all the dark red flocked ornaments I got from Walmart this year but I also will be using some of the burgundy flocked ornaments that I got last year they are smaller but I would like them to add that variation in size. Next I'm continuing adding these beige tan flocked ornaments they will add that soft earthy tone that I was envisioning to combine with the dark red and they are also from Walmart this year. I also hung these fluted gold glass Christmas ornaments I ordered from Amazon they look very high-end and I love the antique inspired cap on them. I found these gold glass beaded ornaments at Target and I love them to add that pretty gold glowy touch to the tree these metal ornaments will reflect the Christmas lights beautifully and I also got the silver glass ornaments from Walmart and for the first time I'm adding a silver detail in my Christmas tree decor. I'm also adding these brown ornaments I used the last year and these are smaller and that will add that variation in size. I also ordered this medium-sized burgundy bows from Amazon specially to add them to my Christmas tree and I also used some of the thinner burgundy bows I used last year I love the festive touch a bow always adds to the Christmas decor and to the Christmas tree. Next I also wanted to add my favorite mimosas stems to my Christmas tree I love to do this every year and I've been doing this every year to add that soft and fuzzy burgundy touch. To finish it off I'm topping the tree with this metal bowl I got last year and I actually DIY it by spray painting it gold and I loved how it turned out I still love it and still looks perfect so I decided to use it again and this is the result of our Christmas tree decor. Now I'm going to add these small swags from the hearth and hen collection I thought they would be perfect to add a subtle touch of greenery that frame the pictures I'm just placing one swag on top of each picture line and I love how it instantly adds that soft festive touch without overwhelming the wall it's such a simple detail but it makes the whole gallery look more intentional and festive for Christmas. And now it's time to style our shelves and I'm starting by the left side and first I would like to add some greenery in that corner so I wanted to use this beautiful caramel vase and I brought back these zero stems I got from Etsy last year and I truly love these stems are one of my favorites because are super realistic and I love the movement that they have. And next I'm bringing this little woven basket and I'm bringing back this beautiful ornament candle I got this ornament candles from world market in two sizes and this is the smallest one I wanted to replace the youth rope to tie a satin ribbon making a long tail bow for a maximalist festive look. For the next decor I found this beautiful dark wood tone beaded picture frame at home goods and I just love the handmade and rustic look in this frame I wanted to put in this adorable vintage inspired Santa with a reindeer printed picture I got from Etsy. I also found this gorgeous velvet reindeer at home goods in a gorgeous burgundy red color and this is the large version of the same velvet reindeer I added in my console table decor and I'm placing it behind the picture almost as if the reindeer is just peeking out from the artwork adding that unexpected little touch of charm. To add a soft source of light I'm adding this black metal candle holders I got at Hobby Lobby and I found this beautiful and charming flameless candles with a very unique engraved floral design all over it and they include a remote which makes super easy to turn on and off. And for the middle shelf decor I'm using these white ceramic houses from my Texas house Christmas collection at Walmart to make things easier and more practical I ordered some tea lights that come with a remote so I can control them all at once. Now I actually prefer Christmas houses without the built-in lights because this way I can add my own tea lights and control them with the remote it would be so much more convenient to me. And now I'm bringing this beautiful vintage inspired the metal hanging bells with stand that I ordered from Luke's Pico and I ordered very early during the fall season and I'm using them to create this charming little Christmas village but instead of adding the faux pine trees like I did last year I'm mixing in the bells to give it that nostalgic old town village look. And of course I'm using that remote to turn on the tea lights. For the next decor in that shelf I wanted to create a soft nostalgic Christmas moment so I wanted to start with that linen like picture frame I found at Homewoods I wanted to use this printed photo in this frame I got this Christmas vintage inspired printable picture from Etsy and I love the nostalgic scene and the pops of red in this picture To complement the Christmas scene moment I brought this textured mini face I got from Magnolia and I filled it with my favorite red mimosa stems from Hobby Lobby I love how the deep olive tones of the face bring warmth and the berries add that perfect pop of festive color For a grouping decor I just popped one of the colder resin figs I got from Amazon For the highest shelf I wanted to keep it simple and earthy I added this woven box on one side to bring in a bit of natural texture and on the other side I placed this wooden bowl filled with pine cones and berry accents and just popped a subtle piece of cedar leaf I added a simple bow on top of the woven box to evoke the Christmas scents On the right side of the fireplace I added these sculptural black reindeers and I placed two of them on top of a coffee table book Next, I'm bringing this adorable picture of Santa in his sleigh ascending into the sky with his reindeers, the soft twinkling lights being reflected on the glass add that magical Christmas touch I'm adding some books to add enough height to place these charming metal casitas or Christmas houses for my Texas house and I love that I can add my own two lights I can control easily with the remote I come with For the middle shelf I'm adding this woven slate made of twigs and branches which brings in such a beautiful natural and rustic texture I actually got it last year from at home, a few days before Christmas so I badly used that and I wanted to finally use it this year because it's so beautiful To complement this shelf styling I ordered these natural wooden frames from Zara Home I picked them up in both the small and medium size so I could layer them together In the small one I'm adding this printed picture I found on Etsy and these picture frames come with a beautiful linen backing and I really wanted that to be shown So instead of covering it completely I trimmed the picture down a bit but to add some charming visual interest I'm using this paper edger scissor set I found at Walmart It comes in a pack of two and I'm using the majestic edge I love the effect it gives because once it's in the picture it almost looks like a parchment paper For the medium size frame I'm doing the exact same thing but this time with a nostalgic old world Christmas scene I found on Etsy This way you can still see the linen backdrop but with a more interesting artistic shape around the image and I feel like it adds so much character to the shelf And next to the frames I'm just placing this gold metal nutcracker new from the Studio Magui Christmas collection at Target At the other corner I'm just adding this face with a single cedar branch I got from Walmart just to fill that gap but it actually being covered with the Christmas tree On the highest shelf I'm keeping simple and I added this paper mache ball and then next to it I placed my small vintage books laying down one of them to just pop some pine cones for that nature rustic touch Next, moving on to our coffee table I wanted to bring this beautiful round ceramic vase I found at Home Goods I'm filling with these red berry stems I got from the Hearth and Hand Christmas collection last year They are so beautiful and they add that wild but still delicate touch of festive and seasonal red berries On this book I'm placing one of the Christmas candles from the Hearth and Hand Christmas collection and this is the balsam and berry scent And next on this book I'm placing this marble bowl I'm filling with natural elements like a bunch of pine cones gloves from a ball filler bag some gold figs for that glowy festive touch and a metal cowbells cluster I put together using a burgundy ribbon and a bow and I just laid on top And next I wanted to add this beautiful candle snuffer I got from Home Decor website's shop and I believe it's the same from Amber Interiors and then the matches in a glass gloss And next for the textiles I went to Marshall's and I found this gorgeous dark burgundy knit throw blanket I fell in love with the deep and elegant color and next I got this burgundy throw pillow with a cream floral pattern from Etsy and a beautiful linen fabric On the other side of the sofa I'm adding this embroidered Christmas tree throw pillow from Studio Maggie and then this dark red lumber pillow I also found in Marshall's On the condo sofa I wanted to add this super cozy and soft throw blanket I got from the Studio Maggie collection at Target and then when shopping at Marshall's I also found this beautiful and unique throw pillow I fell in love with the beautiful winter scene and the combination with greens and light brown colors perfect to fit in with my decor On the other side I wanted to add this burgundy throw pillow and this lumber throw pillow in light brown that I had on hand from last year For our side table I'm just keeping simple adding a book and topping with this pine tree glass jar candle I found at Walmart and that's it for this space And next our Christmas tree I wanted to bring back this woven cigarette sleigh just for a little accent but this time I'm adding in this large Tibetan inspired metal bells from Amazon I'm bringing back my favorite ornaments to finish up our living room setting and fill that space And this is the result of our living room Christmas decor I'm so happy with how it turned out The combination of textures, the soft glow from the tree and candles and all the natural elements just make the space feel so warm and welcoming From the cedar garlands draping on the mantel filled with berries and mimosa branches to the cozy textiles layered around the room Every detail was chosen to bring in that subtle warmth The candle light helps create that calming ambience in the evenings and I love how the flameless candles blend perfectly with the decor while keeping everything safe and easy to control Bringing in natural materials like the rattan sleigh, woven baskets, and even the brass bells added that rustic organic charm I love so much for Christmas I really hope this video gave you ideas and inspired you to create a space that feels special for the holidays For me decorating is such a joyful part of the season It's where the memories start and it's where home begins to feel like Christmas Thank you so much for spending this decorating time with me Have wonderful holidays, enjoy this season and see you in my next video Bye!
