I think there is something so  romantic about decorating every room for Christmas, don’t you? Sigh. I love seeing a bit of holiday decor in bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways and the kitchen as well as the expected places like the living room and dining room.

Now don’t panic, decorating each room doesn’t mean you have to go crazy with excessive effort and expense. You know me, I like things that are SIMPLE and DOABLE. That is my thing.

I’m talking about a TOUCH of Christmas in every room, dear people, it doesn’t have to be a tinsel or craft explosion everywhere you look. You just do what works for you.

Even on a budget of pretty much nothing, there are ways to keep our holidays beautiful by using what we already have or can find on a budget. I love all of these ideas:

• Sprigs of greenery from the yard tucked in vases or jars
• Simple wreaths & ornaments hanging from beds, mirrors and windows
• Wrapped boxes piled on nightstands and end tables
• Christmas stockings on mantles and doors (make your own stocking instructions here)
• Shiny ornaments in bowls and trays set in unexpected places
• Ribbons tied around stacks of towels
• Garland strung over bookshelves and bed frames
• Mini trees in hallways and bedrooms

I always enjoy the photo inspiration from the beautiful magazine, Country Living. I shared these images in a variation of this post a couple of years back too and it is one of my favorites — so I wanted to enjoy it again! The idea of a touch of Christmas in every room gets my wheels spinning and puts me in the Christmas spirit.

WOW, can you believe how fast Christmas is coming? I am chomping at the bit to do a little Christmas decorating — but so far, nothing. {I just need to finish painting first, right?!}

Do you decorate every room for Christmas?
