We’re officially in the thick of the holiday season, and we’re sure some of you might still be thinking about how to style your holiday décor. It’s always easy to take the traditional route: garlands along your mantle, wreaths hung above your fireplace and on your front door, or a lovely little Santa Claus perched against the Christmas tree. However, we think it’d be fun to switch it up from your normal decor with a few fun twists. We’ve come up with 5 unexpected places to add holiday décor to your home, so that you can play around with a fresh holiday aesthetic…

On Your Walls: Gallery Wreaths

Adding a little festive treatment to your gallery wall is a great way to add an inspired idea to an otherwise untouched holiday décor area. Whether it’s swapping out a few prints with wreaths or simply adding a couple here and there along your wall, gallery wreaths are such a fun take on exploring new ways to decorate your home!

On Your Walls: Add Garlands to Your Print Frames

Another unexpected way to switch up your garland décor? Placing them along the frames of your prints! While styling garlands along your window frames and fireplace is a tried-and-true practice, why not live a little and show some festive twists to your prints? Decorating them with garlands can also bring more focus to the print, so adding them to a few of your favorites around your home will definitely shine a light on them.

On Your Walls and Tables: Festive Prints

Replacing your normal, everyday prints with a few festive photos around Christmastime can really indulge your holiday-obsessed desires—especially when placed in less-decorated spaces, like your bar cart or kitchen. Some of Gray’s holiday prints like Poolside Holiday and Vintage Holiday are perfect to use in place of your everyday art, so you can really feel the Christmas spirit all around you. Better yet, with Free Express Shipping on the site now, order these just in time for all your holiday parties and the big day!

On Your Coffee Table: Holiday Coasters

If you want to add an unexpected festive flair to your décor without too much effort, try including holiday coasters on your coffee tables and at your upcoming soirées. It’s the one décor item people tend to skip over around the holidays in favor of bigger and grander decorations, but we think it’s a creative touch that your family and friends will definitely appreciate while sipping libations by the fire.

In Your Bedroom: Holiday Headboard Décor

A holiday headboard? Unexpected indeed. Most of the time, we tend to focus our sites on decorating our living and dining areas, however, adding a little holiday cheer to your bed’s headboard might be the unexpected twist you never knew you needed! Whether it’s adding garland or tinsel, string lights, or dare we say, mistletoe, this is such a fresh and fun take on traditional decorations that you’ll want to replicate it every year.
