Whether your winter decorating style is cozy, cute or sparkly, you are sure to find something you love in this list of 30 DIY winter decorations for your home.
I don’t know about you, but once the holidays are over I can start to feel a bit down. The time between Halloween and New Year can feel like a whirlwind of celebrations, family time and good food. Putting all of the decorations back in storage just seems like a let down. That is why I have started putting up winter decorations in January. Seeing cute little snowmen, glittery snowflakes and cozy sweater pillows lets me keep a bit of that holiday feeling going during the cold months.
Winter Décor Styles
Some people like to keep a theme going for their winter decorations:
- Cute winter decorations – snowmen, puffy pom pom snowballs, and wintery gnomes.
- Cozy winter decorations – chunky knit blankets, furry pillows, candles and wood elements.
- Sparkly winter decorations – shiny snowflakes, touches of silver or gold, natural elements like pinecones and trees tipped with glitter.
Or, if you are like me, you like a bit of everything! And, of course, I like to make most of my winter decorations myself. I needed a bit of inspiration, so I came up with this list of 30 DIY winter decorations that are sure to lift your spirits once the holiday season is over. Go ahead, scroll down and see if you get inspired to decorate for winter too!
