The 22 Ways to Decorate with Blue for Christmas

Decorate with more than red and green this holiday season. Get inspired with our favorite ideas for blue Christmas decorations.

Blue Christmas Tabletop Decorations

This petite blue Christmas tree display exudes elegance. Place a small blue spruce into a blue-and-white chinoiserie cachepot. Carry the blue Christmas decorations through the tree with miniature ginger pot ornaments, blue ribbons, and bejeweled orbs. Finish the look with a velvet ribbon and gold tassels.

Blue and White Christmas Tree

Draw from your home's existing color palette for Christmas decorations that are an elegant addition to the space. Here blue and white Christmas ornaments tie into blue ceramics and white woodwork through the home. Feathery branches and silvery poinsettia blooms bring in a touch of glamour. A wide sage velvet ribbon throughout the blue and white Christmas tree adds a layer of comfort that welcomes guests to Christmas.

Blue and Silver Christmas Decorations

Embrace the blue decor in your home, and add silver Christmas accessories that will complement, not compete, with your home's design. Here glitzy silver Christmas trees, furry white stockings, and flocked garland imbue the space with Christmas charm without pulling attention away from the entry's signature blue and white wallpaper. Blue and white Christmas-themed throw pillows tie it all together.

Brightly Colored Christmas Decor

A flocked Christmas tree allows the brightly colored Merry Christmas pendant garland to stand out. Bright colors feel jolly and festive. Blue Christmas ornaments sit happily alongside pink, yellow, and orange ones. Use colors that spark the spirit within you.

Colorful Christmas Decor

Put a funky fresh spin on Christmas with colorful decorations you can make yourself. String together your own garland using yarn poms, painted wooden beads, and gold bells. Paint ceramic houses in shades of cerulean blue. Paint bottle brush trees and wooden cones to create a colorful forest atop the mantle. Bright paper lanterns create big visual impact.

Mad for Plaid Christmas Decor

Playing off the mix of plaid patterns in the home, these twin trees are dressed in green, gold, and navy blue Christmas ornaments. Blue and green plaid ribbon runs through the trees adding to the cozy feel of this living room. Plaid gift wrap topped with wide blue Christmas bows finish the look.

Blue and Green Christmas Mantel

Bows are the perfect finishing touch, whether you use them to wrap presents or decorate your tree. Place gifts with blue bows under your tree or tie the bows directly onto your tree's branches. Try satin ribbon or velvet bows to add different textures to your blue Christmas decor.

Blue Christmas Stockings

Bold Blue Garland

You don't need to invest in a bunch of blue Christmas decorations to make a big statement. Drape a classic evergreen garland along a railing or mantel. Accent the display with blue, velvet ribbon tied in large classic bows.

Blue Christmas Presents

Blue Christmas decor can be as simple as placing wrapped gifts on your shelves or bookcases. Tie the packages with simple bows to keep the attention on the blue papers. Accent the gifts with sprigs of fresh greenery and pinecones.

Mini Blue Christmas Tree

Bring the holiday magic into the bedroom with a miniature blue and white Christmas tree. Oversized "LET IT SNOW" garland spells out big fun on this small Christmas tree in a child's bedroom. Blue and white ornaments, pale blue ribbon, and a plush faux fur tree skirt dress it up.
