Firstly, why should you choose white Christmas decor? Your answer is because white is neutral and the base color, and never goes out of style. If you are surrounded by snow, it’s even better.
It effortlessly merges into a variety of interior design aesthetics and perfectly fits your various decor requirements, such as minimalistic Christmas decor, luxe decor, modern farmhouse style, or Scandinavian decor, too.
Best White Christmas Decor Ideas
Are you looking for dreamy, elegant, and classy Christmas decor this year? Your search ends here, because I have curated the best white Christmas decor ideas based on my research just for you, my friends.
And yeah, I forgot to mention that you don’t need a huge villa or a grand budget to achieve this look.
White Christmas decorations work magically in small apartments, rental homes, or studio apartments where permanent changes or major installations are not allowed or possible.
Let’s explore tried-and-tested, affordable, 27 dreamy white Christmas decor ideas for this holiday season.
Outdoor white Christmas decorations
1. White Icicle Lights
I would say that without lights, Christmas is incomplete, so why not start with outdoor/outside lights?
Hang white icicle lights on your roofline and highlight your winter wonderland in snow. What about wrapping some lights around front porch pillars?
It’s okay if we go a little bit overboard during Christmas; there is no harm.
Make sure you select waterproof LED lights that match your roofline. It’s available in different sizes: 32ft, 33ft, 66ft, 91ft/100, 200, 250 LED lights.
2. White Front Door Wreaths
We always say “first impression is last impression,” so choose your white wreaths wisely and leave a good impression on your holiday guests.
If your door has a bright color, it becomes a focal point on your front door or porch.
Another option is that you have a neutral white door, you can add pop-up color and white pinecones for texture that creates visual interest, balance, and symmetry in space.
3. White Tree Lights
How can we forget the outdoor trees, shrubs, and bare winter branches to add more charm?
Wrap the white string lights around the trees and branches; these are white Christmas decorating ideas.
Also, wrap the same light that we discussed earlier, white icicle lights, for the roofline.
4. Christmas Front Porch Planters
Porch planters set the holiday vibes from the front.
You can select large or a group of various sizes of planters and fill them with seasonal plants.
Do a small DIY for your white Christmas decor ideas, such as painting your existing planters.
This makes your holiday decor budget-friendly and helps you save some money for other decor items. Come on, who doesn’t like to save money?!
5. Outdoor Porch Lanterns
Honestly, without lights, there is no feeling of a festival or Christmas, right?
I am a big fan of lanterns! Choose white outdoor porch lanterns in different sizes. Place them on the front porch stairs.
I suggest choosing sets of 2/3 with various height variations to balance out the look.
Pair them with porch planters, nutcracker man, and garlands!
6. Window Snowflakes and Winter Scene
If we are decorating the whole house for Christmas, how can we forget the window?
Decorate the window with Christmas stickers!
From inside, you can place small decorative trees with ceramic homes and other funky Christmas decorations on the windowsill.
7. White Hanging Lanterns
Why not make our outdoor trees like a Christmas tree?
Hang lanterns on the tree to add charm and fill them with real or flickering candles. Make sure to choose white for white Christmas decor.
Flickering candles look the same as real candles; they are better operated, so there are fewer chances for any burns.
I must say a perfect accessory for not only Christmas but also general outdoor decor.
8. Snowflake Welcome Door Mat
Oh, how to welcome guests during the holiday!
Choose this perfect, simple snowflake welcome door mat to give a warm and welcoming feeling at the entryway.
To create a more Christmasy look, layer your rug with a hint of red or green as a base.
White Christmas Decorations for the Living Room & Small Spaces
9. White Christmas Tree
I truly believe Christmas decorations/celebrations are incomplete without this. What?
“Christmas Tree,” especially a white Christmas tree, is decorated with white/neutral Christmas decorations.
Decorate a fully white Christmas tree with some pop-up color ornaments or go with a monochromatic look.
Choose a white Christmas tree with gold decorations, pinecones, and hang neutral decorations, wrap around warm gold glow string lights.
10. White Christmas Garland/ White Mantel Garland
I guess when we think about Christmas, we think about Garland.
It immediately jazzes up the living room and fills it up, too, with festivity.
If your living room’s mantel is white, I suggest decorating with green garland to add a hint of green. Add some white Christmas decorations.
Don’t forget to hang the bow at the intersection of the garland to create a visual.
If it’s made of stone or other colors, choose white garland for your mantel to match with white Christmas decorating ideas.
11. White Snowflake From Paper
Your home is covered with snow, and how can you forget Snowflakes from paper?
You can hang them on your window, dining area, and the wall, but you have a question: “How to make snowflakes out of paper“?
It’s actually quite easy; it’s not necessary to choose white paper, you can opt for colored paper or silver, gold, or shiny papers, too.
Let’s do some DIYs and save some money!
12. White Candle Holder
I can’t keep calm while talking about Candles and candle holders!
One of my favourite things to do is to shop for holiday candles and candle holders.
This candle holder is perfect because it is white + has a carved Christmas theme that reflects on the wall/ceiling.
This Bath & Body Works Candle Holder is Compatible with White Barn 3-Wick candles and perfect for a centerpiece.
Look for candle holder sets for a more cohesive look and pair them with pinecones, Christmas villages, and mini Christmas trees.
13. White Christmas Centerpiece
To create a fantastic centerpiece, keep in mind that you need to create visual balance. Not too big, nor too small!
If a wooden tray is lying on a platform or at home, take that tray and pair it with some pinecones, dried citrus ornaments, and a few candles of various heights to make it a fantastic centerpiece.
14. White Christmas Throws and Pillows
Another budget-friendly hack that I love is Christmas Throws and Pillows!
It still shows the festive season beautifully without any DIYs or Drilling. Choose pillow covers in white with a wool texture, which adds some texture to the decor.
I recommend choosing pillows that have some hint of red or green/gold, as it will break the monotony of white.
It will add some pop-up color, but it doesn’t scream on your face. Come on, it’s the festive season, we need some color.
Dining Room & Kitchen
15. White Table Runner
I always prefer to go with a white table runner when setting up the Christmas dinner table.
It works like a clean slate; you can put anything on top – it will highlight. So, you can be more creative and decorate according to your style and preferences.
Place a hint of red/green plate cloth, place plates, some candles, a centrepiece, and accessories.
Don’t forget to put the festive dinner set!
16. White Christmas Dinnerware
After the white table runner, a dinnerware set is a must – I am in the era of shopping for dinnerware that makes me happier than buying clothes or makeup.
I would suggest going all in for festive dinnerware!
Invest in better-quality china/materials that will last longer, so we won’t need to think about dinnerware every Christmas.
You are all sorted for the Christmas table decor! Less worry during Christmas!
For a trendy design, consider using disposable cutlery and dinnerware.
17. Christmas Centerpiece Bowls
To make a wonderful Christmas bowl, take a large glass bowl that is lying in the cabinet.
Add some fake snow, a pinecone, a white – silver Christmas decoration, a small Santa, trees, and wrap some fairy lights.
For the living room coffee table, I prefer to switch to a wooden bowl with some seasonal flowers!
18. Hanging White 3D Paper Stars
Want to add more charm to a snowy white wonderland?
Hanging white 3D paper stars is perfect on the dining table, the living area, and one of the corners to grab attention.
Hang some paper cut Christmas trees, Reindeer, and birds with these stars to make it more attractive.
This is a stunning idea for decorating with white for Christmas!
19. Frosted Glass Candle Holders/ Frosted Glass Votives
Christian’s decor can’t be complete without glass candle holders!
Opt for a frosted glass holder, which passes indirect light and gives a soft glow.
To decorate as a centerpiece or other space, put it in a cluster to balance out the finishing touches.
20. Christmas Sign
I think a Christmas sign is a must-have in Christmas decor!
Make your personal Christmas sign with DIY!
Take a sign and paint it white or muted gold, attach it to a wooden base with some hooks.
On the hooks, hang white stockings. Pair it with a wreath, candle set, and garlands.
Bedroom & Personal Spaces
21. White Christmas Bedding/ Christmas Bedding sets
While we are thinking about holiday decor, and “how can we forget about the bedroom?”.
Especially the main element of the bedroom, bedding!
I love a complete matching set, including a quilt and matching pillow covers, because it instantly creates cozy, cohesive vibes.
22. Mini White Tree for Bedroom/Office
A mini Christmas tree is perfect for giving festive/holiday vibes in the bedroom or office.
Place the tree in the corner with the armchair!
Decorate the tree with green/red decorations. Place a Christmasy throw and pillow on the armchair to make it a cozy nook.
Add the floor lamp for a warm glow and additional festive vibe.
23. White Christmas Stockings
Go for large white white Christmas stockings!
It will grab attention and become a focal point and highlight of your holiday season.
Also, tie a colorful bow and small bells to add a little bit of color to the decor.
Make sure to choose stockings which has a macramy kind of texture.
24. Christmas Village Sets for White Christmas Decorations
can’t keep calm while talking about the Christmas village set!
Place this village set as the centerpiece, or pair it with various heights of Christmas tree.
Create this whole village setup near the Christmas tree.
Blow tealight candles inside it, because it provides warmth during cold days.

Choose sparkly or perly white ornaments. There is no harm in going a little overboard!

White Fur Tree Skirt! Yes, select a white fur skirt to not expose the bottom of the tree and hide the light’s cables/wires.
Also, add some texture! Differentiate from the floor and highlight decor.
