Winter Decor Ideas, After Christmas Decorating, Winter Decorating ideas 2026.

Hey guys, it's Kim here. Welcome back to my channel. Today we're going to be decorating the living room for winter. If you're like me and you tend to get a little bit of the decor blues, I call it, after Christmas, after taking down all of that beautiful decor, then I highly encourage you to try doing a winter decor and kind of romanticizing the season. That's what we're going to do today. I absolutely love it. It feels so warm and cozy and even as magical as it was during Christmas in here. That's how much I love it. Here's a quick shot of our Christmas view, which the furniture was a little different. You can see the couch was on the left. That's so we could fit the Christmas tree and here it is now. So let's get started. You saw how much decor was up for Christmas and how bright and just how full everything was. So we're going to go for a little bit more of a toned down, very calm look. So this is how everything is right now. Most of the stuff we'll be using is here in this little breakfast nook. I will quickly go over some of the stuff I'm using. Most of it's just from, you know, my Christmas collection from years past. I did pick up a couple things. I picked up these gorgeous deer from the at-home store. I got them half off because I did pick them up just after Christmas, just about a week ago. And then these are just some mercury glass trees. I love decorating with mercury glass for every season. So I've had all of those. Those are all from Hobby Lobby. These are Christmas tree skirts and you guys will see we'll be using all of the Christmas tree skirts, but in different ways. And then those are some old books I thrifted. This was actually a little bowl that I had set up at Christmas, but we're going to keep it for winter. It's perfect. And then just a bunch of vases. Almost every vase on this table is from Hobby Lobby. This is just some of my regular decor, some decorative books. I did pick up this ribbon. This is the ribbon, if you guys remember from just a second ago, that was tied around the silver deer from the at-home store. And then these are some prints I just printed off on my computer for the shelves. And these two arrangements I had for Christmas already. I just added in some of the silver glittery picks. And these are covers from Amazon. I will link these for you guys. They had a bunch of different colors and I just thought they were really, really pretty. I chose the dark gray with the gold since I do have a dark gray couch, but they were really pretty. And then those little candles were also from the at-home store. They were only $4.99 since they were marked Christmas, but they were white and gold, so I thought that would be perfect for winter decor. These are the same prints I had up during Christmas. The only one I changed out was the top right, the snowman. That was actually a Santa Claus walking in the snow. Okay, so we're going to get started on the mantle. I used the same garland that I had for Christmas. However, I want to make it a little more wintry, so that's where these picks are going to come in. I got these at Target for, it said $5, but I know I got them on sale. I got them, I think, for around $4. But look how large they are. They're so stunning. They have so many different types of greenery in and I love that. So what we're going to do is we're going to weave these in here on the right side. We're going to go down this way and then on the left side we're going to go down this way. So I'm just going to start weaving them in. I just leave the whole stem and kind of nestle it in there and then I'm going to use some of this really inexpensive bendable branches here to kind of hold it in place. So that's what I'm going to do right now. Okay, one thing about flocked items are they're very messy, but look how stunning.

And again, just doing these little things really helps us YouTubers out and I would greatly appreciate it. When I'm going around a curve like this, I always make sure to bend the stem. If you don't bend the stem, it would just stick straight out and it would basically hit into the shelf. So you definitely need to bend the stem in the direction that you want your pick to fall in. As you guys can see, I used up all the picks that I have for in here. I did buy some for the dining room too, but this was all I had for in here. So I was a little bit short, so I'm going to show you how I'm going to fix that. I got some of these icy picks from Hobby Lobby. They're so pretty. So we're going to add... I actually got these 90% off too after Christmas. So we're going to add this one down here and see if we can make this kind of blend with also some of the other picks too. So let's try this out. Let me see if I can attach this. And then we've got some of these from Amazon as well, these little picks. So we'll stick... We're going to fill in a little bit with these as well. They are really messy though. They're really messy. Okay, they came in bags like this from Amazon, and I'll link these for you guys because with just... Even with just these, you can transform your greenery into a winter wonderland. We will definitely be vacuuming. Okay, let's see here. And I think that's... Yeah, I think that'll work, especially once we add in some of those stems in through here as well. And we've got a few more picks that we're going to be adding too. So let's see. Okay, so I think it looks pretty good. Let me know what you guys think. It looks like it all flows together. So now we're going to add... We're going to add... You got it. You kind of have to shake them off because they're, like I said, really messy. We're going to add some of these all throughout, and that's also going to make that look even better, blend better. When you're going down this way, give it a little bend so it will follow the direction of the garland. Now we're going to add in some of these pine cone stems from Hobby Lobby, and I think that's going to be it. I was going to add in some brown, but I'm actually really loving the soothing tones of this, and just a little bit of that dark green popping through, I think it looks really good. Let me know what you think. I added in all the pine cones, and I think we did a pretty good job at concealing the bottom where I ran out of the original picks. Here's an up-close view with all of the different stems. Can you believe this was just a plain green garland? And we just added in just a few picks, and now look how lush and full it is. Next, I'm adding this vase from Hobby Lobby. I know they still have this. I've had it for a couple years now, and it's still one of my favorite pieces to decorate with. I'm adding in a few stems that I picked up at Costco. Again, these were from a few years ago. I think they have something similar on Amazon, and these do light up. They're really pretty at night and perfect for winter decor. Next is this basket from Target. I like adding in the brown just for a little bit of warmth. I'm stuffing in a pillow just to kind of fill up the bottom of the basket, and I did try this green blanket. Actually, when I'm watching it back on camera editing this, I do actually really like the green, but I did change my mind and I put white just because we're going for that really calm and soothing look. So, I think that helps. The white helps with that. Here's how the fireplace is looking so far, and now we are going to get started decorating the shelves. So, this was that bowl that I picked up from Hobby Lobby. I think I got this in the fall, and I know they still have this as well, and I just added some pine cones, greenery, and a little ornament. These boxes are from Target. I love these vases. I use these almost every season. These were from Hobby Lobby. Here's the frames that we'll be changing out. I had Santa boots for Christmas, and we're going to change them out to some pine cones here. Sorry about that ring light, and some wintry trees on this one, and I was trying to decide which one to put where, but I decided to put the trees on the left side since I already had the pine cones in the bowl and that would be too matchy-matchy, so I brought the pine cones over to the right side. I love decorating with old books. I think it adds a lot of character and texture to your displays. I pick these up at all different places. Garage sells, antique stores, thrift stores, anywhere I find them. I'll pick up any color all throughout the year, and I store them in my decor closet, and I put them by color, and I just pull them out whenever I need them. I'm going with a lot of greens and browns for my winter look, so those are the colors that I pulled from the closet. These are from Target from so long ago. I have two of them. I got them on clearance a while back. When I'm decorating the shelves, I like them to be sisters, not twins, so a lot of very similar items and, of course, very similar colors on both sides so that when you step back, it looks very organized and not cluttery. The black and white boxes are from Ross. Those were such a good find. I absolutely love those. I use them for my Halloween decor, fall decor, and now for my winter decor, and then I added in those vases next to them from Hobby Lobby, and then now I'll be adding some of my books to this shelf. I decided to add this brown bowl from HomeGoods to the right side since I had the pine cones in the brown color on the left side, and I felt that it really balanced the shelves, and here's how they turned out. I think they look really calm and soothing and very cohesive, perfect for winter. Now we're going to try to spruce up this area. So first off, we're going to try to straighten out these covers. These covers are, yeah, they're not perfect, but they work so well to protect your furniture, or if you have just old chairs that you're just really sick of, these covers are perfect. They will give your room or your chairs, your furniture, a whole new look. Now I'll be draping these cream blankets, which are pretty much the same color as the chairs. It's just to add a little texture and warmth. One way to bring a winter vibe to your home is to add in a lot of really cozy textures, and so that's why I'm bringing in these big fluffy pillows and draping those blankets all throughout the couch and the chairs. Now we're going to get started on my really big coffee table. I got this rug, it's actually a rug from Amazon, and it is perfect to talk about bringing in all those really cozy textures. This is absolutely perfect for that. I just started throwing a couple little things into this gold tray I had, just mimicking what was in the bowls around the room, some pine cones. I just kind of shoved in a little piece of that greenery, a couple little pieces that I used on the mantle as well, and a few ornaments that I had, some of the rustic ornaments, and that was it. So simple. I wove some of those lights through there that you can see are kind of tangled up. I need to fix that a little, but those lights, I love those lights, but I hate working with those lights. I just got that new Call It Home book with the brown cover. I thought it was so pretty. It's gonna look gorgeous in the fall as well. I'll probably use it all year round, but it was perfect for my winter decor. It really went well with the pine cones, and then I just added in that Hobby Lobby vase. I've used that, I think you guys have seen that in every single decorating video so far since I started my channel almost a year ago. I love that vase, and then some stems from Hobby Lobby and some marble coasters, and that's it. I just kept it really simple. Now we're going to start working on this area over here. I brought over one of those arrangements. This was just one from Christmas, and I added in those silver flowers. I don't know, I think they're magnolias. They look like magnolias. I'm not sure, but they're really pretty, and then I also added in a couple stems that we used on the mantle as well just to tie it all together, and I started kind of messing around with some of the mercury glass trees, and I really did like how this look looked, but I remembered that I wanted to use those trees in another area that you'll see in just a little bit, so I was trying to decide what to put up here, and actually how this clip ends, it does change again. You'll see that in the final shots. Now we're going to start working on this console, and we're going to use another tree skirt. This is a brown fur skirt. I picked this up on clearance, the after Christmas clearance last year for 90% off. You guys have got to check out that Hobby Lobby clearance. You can find some really cool stuff, and again, you don't have to use a tree skirt just as a tree skirt. You can drape it out of a basket, over a couch. You can use it how I'm using it, as a little runner, and then as you can see, here are the trees that I was wanting to use over in that other spot, but I just thought that they would look so good right here, kind of framing out this deer. You want to know the funny thing about these, the larger trees that I'm putting down right now? I did not know that they lit up. I was like, oh my goodness, I've had them, I think I've had them for three or four years, and I had no idea. So I did add some batteries to those, and I was checking if the smaller ones did as well, but they do not. I decided to bring in another birch tree just to add some sparkle over here, and I will cover the bottom, and I add a little deer in just a little bit. You guys are going to see the final shots right now. By the time I was done decorating the two of these rooms, it was already starting to get dark, but I thought it looked really pretty, so I wanted to show you guys a different view. I'm going to show you in the morning how it looks during the day, and then at night. Do you guys see how cozy it is? I love having all the birch trees. I don't feel like this winter decor would be the same without those trees. They add just that perfect amount of sparkle. And here is the birch tree all finished off with yet another Christmas tree skirt and that other silver deer. And here it is during the day. This was the next morning, and the sun was just flooding in, and it looked so pretty. Now for the fun part. I'm going to put some music on and let you take a look around and check out all of our winter decor for 2025. Well, that's going to be it for today's video. Thank you so much for watching.
