3 Unique Christmas Decorating Ideas

I love traditional Christmas decorating, but after 23 years or so of decorating my own house for Christmas, I am really inspired to to find some new fresh ideas to mix things up a bit this year. I want to do something a bit different and a bit unexpected.

To be honest, the thought of dragging out 25 boxes of dusty old stuff makes me a little tired, is that a sign of old age? Don’t answer that. Seriously.
I do love traditions and the memories involved with some of our things, but I am finding it fun to stretch myself and modernize my look a bit.
So, here are three ways to mix things up this Christmas and come up with something more unique!

1. Put a tree or other holiday decor in a new room.

This is an easy one, why not try some of your traditional items in a new room? Putting a tree in the bedroom seems very romantic to me (top photo). I’ve often thought about it but I don’t think I have ever actually had a tree in my master bedroom. Even some branches with lights would be very pretty in the bedroom, wouldn’t it? Hmmm…I think I really need to do this.

Two years ago I hung a wreath from my bed to try something a little different. The wreath is traditional but you’d expect to see it on a door or window. It was really pretty until it started getting crunchy and dropped leaves every time we rolled over at night.
