Minimalist Christmas Home Tour

After using the same holiday decor since 2015, I was desperate for a change.

I’m constantly trying to build an intentional and sustainable home; so I decided to switch from a traditional red-and-green theme to a neutral minimalist Christmas theme.

Although the decor looks more subtle, the house still feels warm, cozy, and inviting.

I chose white, gold, green, and wood tones because these colours are classic, and that means I can re-use my Christmas decor year after year.

Now, let’s take a look at my minimalist Christmas home tour!

Minimalist Christmas Tree

Our minimalist Christmas tree is THE showstopper in our home.

I used the same artificial tree we’ve had since 2018 but changed its placement this year.

I wanted to make a grand statement with the tree; so I shifted it from a corner in the dining room to the top of our built-in nook.

It looks AMAZING – I don’t know why it took me so long to do this! The tree is now the first thing I see when I enter our apartment.

Honestly, I didn’t have a game plan when it came to decorating the Christmas tree.

Instead of going with a theme, I referenced my colour palette and bought ornaments with different textures, shapes, and materials.

I love a traditional tree but I wanted something whimsical and organic this year.

The result is a mish-mash of ornaments that still looks cohesive because of the neutral colour palette!

I also paired the tree with a black woven skirt to add contrast. It’s the first time I’ve used a tree skirt, and it really was the BEST. DECISION. EVER.

Since we don’t have a mantel, I stuck a simple hook rack next to the tree and hung two chunky knit stockings. How cute!

Minimalist Christmas Living Room

With the tree being the main focus of the living room, I kept the other areas minimal.

I added new floral, plaid, and textured cushion covers on the couch.

As for the coffee table, I laid a wooden tray that held a basket of gold baubles, a wooden tree ornament, and two taupe pillar candles.

Despite using simple objects, the contrasting heights and textures made this minimal setup visually interesting.

I also made minor adjustments to our daily TV console decor.

I swapped the artificial fern for a mini tree and decorated it with white ceramic baubles on one side.

On the other, I added a maroon honeycomb paper tree for a pop of colour.

The final (and cutest!) touch was the Christmas village placed at the centre of the console.

Minimalist Christmas Dining Room

Chris Loves Julia’s tree artwork instantly inspired me the minute I saw it. They are the perfect addition to our dining room!

I wanted to paint the frames black but since I didn’t have enough time, I draped an artificial garland over the top.

Here’s my version of a holiday tablescape.

This is the most challenging yet creative part for me because I have to make things I already own look fresh.

The key to dressing up the dining table for the holiday season is to incorporate a lot of greenery and baubles!

I draped fresh greenery across the table runner and weaved in a couple of gold baubles.

At the very last minute, I threw in some dried babies breath across the table as well.

Lastly, I placed my festive pieces like a wooden mini Scandi Christmas tree (which doubles up as a candle holder), a white ceramic Christmas tree, and a gold tin house on the table.

Minimalist Christmas Kitchen

This spot was my second favorite space to decorate after the tree. I was already thinking of the fun I was going to have styling my kitchen shelves!

For the upper shelf, I came up with a Christmas village theme.

So, I laid some faux tinsel before placing a group of ceramic houses, a wooden house, a bicycle, and a pair of bottle-brush trees. It’s all about the details here!

For the next shelf, I kept it fairly functional. Our plates and mugs remained.

I added some amber bottles and a ceramic pestle and mortar for visual interest.

But, the REAL highlights here are the wooden houses and a beautifully-handcrafted brass watering can.

Finally, I kept the kitchen counter bare with just a Christmas sign, a faux mini tree, and a wooden pedestal holding a sole ceramic house.

Then, I made a few tiny tweaks to our everyday essentials like the soap dispensers and tea towel to match the overall theme.

Minimalist Christmas Bedroom

I wasn’t planning on decorating our bedroom until I received these gorgeous sage green sheets from Sunday Bedding (check out the feature they did of me here!)

The sheets just screamed HOLIDAY, so I immediately replaced our existing sheets in time for the festive season.

I wanted the rest of the decor to compliment the sheets, so I layered an artificial garland across our bedframe.

I also added a couple of fun ornaments like velvet hearts, gold stars, and a mini tree on the garland.

Since the garland isn’t pre-lit, I strung some lights over the garland.

What’s a Christmas bedroom without twinkle lights, right?

Next, I placed a mini tree on one of our nightstands and laid a gold tray on the bed.

The final touches were two pre-lit ceramic houses and two gold bottle brush trees on top of the tray. Bring on the lights!
