Although there are still several weeks left until Christmas, decorating enthusiasts can always start infusing their humble spaces with holiday cheer. While you may not have your tree up yet or any gifts wrapped, taking baby steps toward seasonal décor is the way to go. From accent pillows to cheery florals, look no further than these ideas for creating a beautiful, festive abode.

Hanging ornaments and patterned cushions: Try refreshing a grey living room with hanging wall art and metallic ornaments that can instantly bring your home to life. Hang a luscious green wreath on the wall as well, and then accessorize with a cozy knit throw blankets and a red gingham or plaid cushion.

Snow white décor: Along with the greens and reds of the season, snowy white can transform any room into a winter wonderland. Plush white stockings, silver candlesticks and trinkets and neutral tones help to create a holiday-ready space.

Pretty poinsettias: It’s time to swap your favourite autumnal wreaths for ruby red poinsettias, as the ubiquitous Christmas flower prepares to enjoy its moment in the spotlight. Decorate your windowsills with fake red cranberries, poinsettia arrangements and branches of holly to truly capture the holiday spirit, ahead of schedule.
