Nowadays, lots of people use their creativity to find new alternatives to classic Christmas home decorations.

Potted Plants

Decorate a large potted plant, like a ficus or a Norfolk Island pine, with lights and ornaments. It's a festive and living alternative.

Wall Decals or Stickers

String Lights on a Wall

Hang string lights on a wall in the shape of a Christmas tree. You can add small hooks to outline the tree and then string the lights along the hooks.

Branches in a Vase

Collect branches from your backyard or a park and arrange them in a tall vase. Hang ornaments and lights on the branches for a rustic and natural look.

Wooden Ladder Tree

Lean a wooden ladder against a wall and hang lights, ornaments, and garlands on the steps. It creates a ladder-shaped Christmas tree.

Hanging Ornaments from Ceiling

Suspend a variety of ornaments from the ceiling at different lengths to create a hanging Christmas tree effect.

Book Tree

Stack your favorite holiday-themed books in a tree shape. It's a unique way to showcase your reading spirit during the festive season.

Driftwood Tree

Collect pieces of driftwood and arrange them in a tree shape. Decorate the driftwood with lights, ornaments, and ribbons.

Chalkboard or Whiteboard Tree

Draw or paint a Christmas tree shape on a chalkboard or whiteboard. Decorate it with chalk or markers, and you can change the design whenever you like.

Window Clings

Use removable window clings to create a Christmas tree shape on a large window. It's a fun and easy way to bring holiday spirit into your home.
