Classic Christmas Decorations For Your Hutch, Table & Tree

I love decorating simply in my home. I go by the less is more concept, if you will, instead of setting up elaborate scenes, like glitzy Christmas table decorations or over-the-top outdoor displays.

So today, we're going to be hitting up a few of the key elements I use each year. To do this, I'm going to decorate my hutch, create a simple tablescape, and decorate a Christmas tree for you to enjoy.

1. Christmas hutch decor

I have a ton of really pretty vintage and thrifted home decor that I love putting in my hutch, so plenty of great pieces are going in there this holiday season. This is kind of my specialty area where I like to put some of my favorite pieces in to serve as Christmas decorations in the dining room.

First, I have this brass horn that I found at a vintage market over the fall, and I’m stacking it here with some thrifted bowls. For the most part, I’m including items that I discovered second-hand.

I do have a couple of new things in here as well, like these trees from Target and books that I purchased a while back.

What I like to do when it comes to decorating my hutch is to layer things and have like items scattered throughout, so it all looks cohesive and well put together.

Along with the brass horn that I found at the vintage market, my next favorite thing in this hutch are these pipes. I actually bought these from my mother-in-law. She was selling them, and I just knew that they would be perfect for Christmas decor. So I bought those from her last year for around $5 for the set of three.

I think my hutch turned out beautiful this year. It has simple pops of green and berries with accents of brass that I'm doing throughout my home this year, and I think it all just came together really well.

On the side of the hutch, I always like to add something a little extra to make it look a little more complete, so again, I have a thrifted sled here that was gifted to me.

I'm also going to be adding some garland to it as well. This is a garland that I had left over from last year. It came from Walmart.

I bought these brass bells at a vintage market this past weekend too. By tying the bells to the garland and hanging the garland on the sled, I think it is the perfect touch of Christmas.

2. Christmas table decor

My theme when it comes to tablescaping for Christmas is to keep it very simple for everyday practical use. To accomplish this, I am layering a few different table runners.

I have my jute table runner, which is an oversized table runner that I purchased from the Hearth & Hand line.

On top of that, I'm layering a green-striped runner since I really like a layered look.

As far as Christmas centerpieces go, I usually start with a simple base. This year, I’m taking a round charcuterie board and placing an arrangement on top of it.

I'm using a thrifted crock that I found for $12 a couple of years ago. Next, I’m adding a greenery bundle from Hobby Lobby. I bought that when it was 60% off, and I believe I purchased it for around $8. Then, for a pop of red, I stuck in some berries. They make sweet and simple Christmas table decor.

To finish off the look, I'm placing a $5 candle from Target in the center.

3. Christmas tree decor

Next up, we are going to be decorating the tree. This is actually our older tree that we've had for several years now, and it fills in the corner nicely.

I am adding some twinkle lights because I don't have an outlet over here.

On the wall behind it, I hung a swag and tied some red velvet ribbon.

I'm really loving the accent of the basket with a blanket hanging out in the dining room as well. I think it kind of completes the look I’m going for.

As far as the other side of the dining room, I have my thrifted chair along with another blanket and a pillow.
