Best Neutral Christmas Decor Ideas For A Cozy Home
Find the best neutral Christmas decor now before everything sells out. And since it’s all neutral – you can use it for years to come!
Ok- so I know it’s early to be talking about Christmas decorations, but I’m talking about it now for a reason. Last year, by the time I finally shared all my Christmas decor, most everything I used was already sold out.
So this year I’m getting ahead of the holiday season game. And if you’re on the hunt for a new tree collar or some new ornaments to add to your collection, I have a ton of neutral Christmas decor I’m sure you’ll love.
You know I love neutral colors. So of course, most of the time when it comes to decorating for the Christmas season, I use simple neutrals. If you’re ready to deck the halls with a bright color scheme, go for it!
But most of my neutral Christmas decor ideas are still great for a starting foundation. 🙂

So let’s start with the main Christmas decor item…the tree!
Neutral Christmas Tree
As long as I can remember we have always had natural looking faux Christmas tree in our family room. We did get a real tree one year, but I hated all the messy needles that come with fresh greenery, so that was a one-year experience! 🙂
But we also used a flocked Christmas tree as well and I have to say – I’m a fan. A couple of years ago, I placed one right by our front door and I loved the look!
Flocked trees have come along way from looking cheap and being messy. So if you haven’t tried one yet – I highly encourage you to give it a go this year!

Tree Toppers
There are so many different options when it comes to tree toppers. I’ve done ones that light up, ones that don’t and even just a large bow. And some years, I’ve just skipped the topper all together.
But I think if you can find a really nice neutral tree topper that you love, it can go with any themed Christmas decor that you might want to try. I’ve found some great ones!

Tree Collars
The first time I tried using a tree collar was last year. In years past, I always used tree skirts. But then every year, without fail, the skirt would get messed up. It drove me absolutely nuts! So once I tried a tree collar, I was hooked.
Tree collars make setting up a tree so easy. And guess what? They stay in place! I’ve found a ton of neutral styles for you…

There are so many pretty Christmas garlands! This picture below is actually is from last years Christmas home tour. To get this look I actually layered a few garlands together. So having a large selection of neutral garlands is great for a ton of different decor options year after year!

Ornaments is where you can get really festive! Or if you’re like me – you still stay neutral! 🙂
The year I found these black and white styled ornaments, I’m pretty sure my heart jumped for joy. Sadly, they are discontinued but I did happen to find some gorgeous neutral ornaments that would make any Christmas tree beautiful.

Neutral Decor
When it come to Christmas decor, I try to keep it all real simple. I don’t particularly want my home to scream ‘Merry Christmas!’.
My goal is more subtle hints of the Christmas spirit throughout the house. So everyone who enters my home feels the magic of Christmas without even realizing it. 🙂
I featured a ton of neutral Christmas decor that you can use in December and even into January if you like!
Like my tabletop trees on the dining table – they are one of my favorite decor items to display at Christmas time and even into the first of the year. The mini Christmas lights add a soft, warm glow during those cold, dark winter months.
