1. Figurines
Figurines make for a cute Christmas addition to any shelf and can range from chic to cute and everything in between. We love this white option because they’ll work with any color scheme but will still bring the charm.
2. Photos
We love incorporating some personality to Christmas shelf decor! A simple garland makes the perfect way to hang pictures of you and your friends. It’s an easy, cool way to decorate in a laidback way.
3. Beads and candles
If you like farmhouse chic, wooden beads and candles are a winning combination. Strands of beads are an easy way to add movement and an extra layer to your decor. Candles add a cozy glow, perfect with evergreen fronds of your choice.
4. Christmas trees
Christmas trees of all shapes and sizes are classic elements of Christmas shelf decor and they can make for a fun marriage of traditional and chic. Try opting for a variety of materials and sizes when designing your shelf to achieve an eclectic, personalized look.
5. Neutrals
Neutral Christmas shelf decor can sometimes be a challenge. We like this example because the mixture of textures and finishes keeps things interesting without being too overbearing.
6. Evergreens
Evergreens are a wonderful choice of seasonal decor because they are great for Christmas, but they can be used throughout winter as well. Here, there’s a variety of evergreens and they’re balanced well over different shelves along with more overt Christmas elements like Christmas trees and a reindeer.
7. White and green
Red and green aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. If you favor a more neutral palette, white and green is a nice palette to work with. White candles, porcelain, and figurines play nicely with dark green Christmas trees in a chic, understated way.
8. Soft candles
Candles make a great choice when designing your Christmas shelf decor. They add a comforting glow to any setup and candlesticks are the perfect way to display your aesthetic and personality. Add some scented ones in for additional Christmas cheer!
9. Brass accents
Metal focal points don’t get enough credit in Christmas shelf decor, particularly brass. It’s bright, warm, and livens up any shelf. Bells, lanterns, boxes, and ornaments make great options if you’re looking to incorporate metal into your shelf this year.
10. Collections
Displaying your collections is a fun way to showcase your tastes and personality. They can also make for great Christmas decor, particularly if they are metal, glass, or wood. The addition of evergreen fronds helps transition this into Christmas and winter.
11. Festive lights
A string of lights brings your typical Christmas shelf decor to life. A simple, understated design takes on a whimsical air with the addition of lights. They make for a fun, simple way to add some flash to your shelves this Christmas.
