If you find traditional Christmas colours a little bit ‘tacky’ for your interior, you might just find your sweet spot with tasteful neutral decor.
Whether you have a Scandinavian inspired interior or just find bright red a tacky colour to style with, these 19 neutral Christmas decor ideas are the perfect inspiration for creating a tasteful and timeless holiday look in your interior this Christmas.
19 Neutral Christmas Decor Ideas For A Timeless Holiday Look
1.Earthy Inspired Stair Garland
Take inspiration from this stunning stair garland below. Neutral Christmas decor doesn’t mean moving away from those earthy greens in their entirety.
Instead, layer with neutral colours for a tasteful feel. Honeycomb paper decorations bring a modern feel and look cosy and warm in these soft beiges and browns against the green foliage.
2. Cozy White Throws & Decor
There’s something about neutral decor that just feels so cosy. There’s nothing bland about this scheme for Christmas, it’s all in the layering!
Combining differing materials, textures and depths of whites and creams creates a sumptuous, cosy feel. Take note from the below, we are obsessed with those neutral wooden side tables too.
3. White Ceramic Village
Last year those white ceramic houses were everywhere, and there’s no signs of them disappearing this year.
Tasteful, demure and it looks amazing on a little console table in an entryway.
4. Charming Christmas Stockings
Yes, tasteful, stylish stockings do exist!
How beautiful does this trio of stockings look hung up? Do mix up pattern for interest in your scheme, grain sack striped fabric and neutral floral print like this brings such a relaxed, stylish feel to your Christmas decorations. I mean, we’re obsessed with this whole look in the image below.
5. Stars & Lights
Step away from the tinsel and the gaudy baubles. It’s time to give your tree a makeover with a gorgeous, neutral scheme.
Instead of heavily decorating the tree, add plenty of LED twinkly lights for a magical feel and dress with a starry garland, so simple, yet it looks amazing.
6. Pampas Grass Christmas Tree
Be committed to your neutral interior and swap out a traditional Christmas tree, for something a little less conventional, but beautiful.
Enjoy those boho inspired pampas grass stems all year round with a pampas grass Christmas tree. If you have a neutral interior, this is one piece of Christmas decor not to miss.
7. Simple, Wooden Decorations
Neutral decor doesn’t just mean creams, whites and 50 shades of beige.
Wooden decor is simple, beautiful and can create a cosy and naturally warm decor scheme. Add wooden Christmas trees and nutcrackers like the below for tasteful touches of Christmas throughout your interior.
8. Neutral Console Table Styling
A console table is the perfect place to switch up the styling for the holidays. Take inspiration from the below and add some neutral Christmas tree ornaments. Play with scale – use differing heights to add interest to your display.
9. Vintage Inspired Decor
For rustic, vintage or farmhouse inspired schemes, this neutral inspired decor will bring warmth and a rustic twist to your Christmas decor.
Use vintage accessories, and lean into brassy gold accents on cow bells and beyond. Finish the look with a set of white candles for a rustic, magical feel.
10. Whites, Golds and Silver Colour Scheme
Stick to a cohesive colour scheme when decorating your tree, it will make it feel intentional and minimalist.
Combine whites, silver and gold for a luxurious and neutral decor scheme.
11. Mini Christmas Tree Village
A little bit more console table styling inspiration for you. Note the different scale of items for height and interest on the table.
Instead of filling a lantern with candles, why not add some light up Christmas trees for further interest.
12. White Christmas Tree
O’ Christmas tree. How beautifully dressed is this tree in the image below?
Stick to dressing it with only white and silver accessories for a truly white Christmas that feels cosy and perfectly stylish.
13. White, Wooden Decor
Wooden, beaded garlands are one of those decor pieces that can be used throughout the year. Pair with a star wooden garland and other tasteful touches for a Scandi inspired display.
14. White Frosted Tree
If you don’t like traditional green Christmas trees, get one that looks white frosted. It completely changes the dimension of a tree in your space and can be topped with neutral decor accessories for a look that works in your interior.
15. Wooden Garland
Another wooden garland that felt too good not to share. This sweet reindeer wooden garland looks gorgeous strung on a wall, across shelving or on a mantelpiece.
16. Sweet Chair Wreaths
How about adding a touch of festive cheer to the back of your dining chairs?
These sweet wreaths are finished off with white berries for the most white company feel. They look gorgeous against those wooden and white tones in the kitchen.
17. Neutral Mantle Display
Your fireplace is a focal feature of any room, so dress it up for the holidays ahead. Layer your display with prints, neutral accessories and a tasteful, rustic garland to finish the look.
18. Add The Luxe Factor With Gold
Gold or brassy accents are one of my favourite accent colours to introduce to Christmas decor. It sets off neutral decor and stops the space from feeling lacklustre and ‘beige’.
Use gold tree lights and position a few well placed gold Christmas accessories throughout to pull the look together.
19. Dried Fruit Garlands
Introducing natural accessories into your decor scheme is a great way to lean into the natural, rustic side of decorating. Dried fruit garlands are always a good idea!
Simply slice some oranges and cook them in the oven until they’ve dried out. Then simply string them together with some rustic twine or string, and hang up on a cabinet, shelf, or even across a tree.
Happy holidays! Are you a neutral decorator when it comes to Christmas?
