23 Blue Christmas Decor Ideas
Introduction
So, you’re thinking of going with blue Christmas decor this year? Bold move, my friend. And I mean that in the best way. While everyone else is drowning their living rooms in red and green, you’re ready to step into a winter wonderland that feels chic, calming, and a little bit magical. Honestly, blue doesn’t just work for Christmas—it totally transforms it.
When I first tried adding blue into my holiday decorating, I thought, “Okay, this might look like a Frozen-themed party gone wrong.” Spoiler: it didn’t. In fact, it looked like I hired an interior designer (I didn’t). Blue has this classy, icy sparkle that instantly makes a space feel festive without screaming Santa Claus.
So grab your cocoa (or wine, no judgment) and let’s chat about 23 blue Christmas decor ideas that will make your home look stylish, cozy, and just the right amount of extra.
1. Blue and Silver Ornament Mix
Blue and silver? Absolute holiday power couple. The cool tones balance each other perfectly, and together they look straight out of a luxury department store window.
- Use shiny metallic ornaments to catch the lights.
- Add frosted glass balls for texture.
- Mix light and dark blues for depth.
Ever wondered why blue and silver look so good together? It’s because silver acts like a mirror—it reflects all the twinkle lights and makes blue look even richer.
2. Navy Blue Velvet Stockings
Regular stockings? Cute. Navy velvet stockings? Chic. Hang them on your mantle and watch the compliments roll in.
Velvet adds luxury, and navy blue feels like winter wrapped up in fabric. Bonus: you won’t have the same red-and-green stockings as everyone else.
3. Blue Ribbon on the Tree
Here’s a cheap hack: just add blue ribbon cascading down your tree. Wide velvet ribbon looks luxe, but satin works too. IMO, this is one of the easiest ways to give your tree a major style upgrade.
4. Blue and White Dinnerware
If you’re hosting Christmas dinner, ditch the paper plates and pull out blue and white patterned dishes. Think classic porcelain or modern blue stoneware. Add gold flatware if you want to really impress your mother-in-law. 🙂
5. Frosted Blue Pinecones
DIY lovers, this one’s for you. Spray paint pinecones in light blue, dust them with a little glitter (or faux snow), and toss them in a glass bowl. Boom—instant centerpiece.
6. Blue Christmas Wreath
Why settle for a basic green wreath when you can have a blue-themed beauty? Go for:
- Blue ornaments tucked in greenery
- Navy ribbon bows
- Frosted eucalyptus with icy accents
Trust me, your front door will thank you.
7. Blue Glass Candle Holders
Swap out your plain candle holders for blue glass ones. They add a warm glow with a cool-toned twist. Mix different shades for a layered look.
8. Blue Nutcracker Figurines
Classic nutcrackers are everywhere, but the blue-painted ones? Next level. They feel festive but modern—like traditional decor got a glow-up.
9. Blue Throw Blankets
Drape a cozy blue knit blanket over your sofa. It’s simple, but it ties the whole winter vibe together. Plus, it’s perfect for movie marathons (Elf, Home Alone…you know the drill).
10. Blue Fairy Lights
Okay, hear me out: blue string lights are underrated. They look dreamy when mixed with white lights on a tree or even strung along a mantle. Just don’t go overboard unless you want your house to look like a neon aquarium.
11. Coastal Blue Christmas Tree
If you live near the beach (or just wish you did), go for a coastal blue Christmas tree. Think turquoise ornaments, driftwood accents, and maybe even a starfish tree topper. Festive, but chill.
12. Blue and Gold Color Combo
Silver may be blue’s BFF, but blue and gold? Pure glam. Rich navy with metallic gold ornaments looks regal, like your living room just got invited to a royal holiday ball.
13. Blue Plaid Table Runner
Want cozy cottage vibes? Add a blue plaid runner to your holiday table. It makes everything feel festive but not fussy.
14. Blue Gift Wrap
Forget the red Santa paper. Wrap your presents in blue paper with silver bows. The gifts double as decor when you set them under the tree. Plus, they’ll look amazing in photos.
15. Blue Glass Ornaments
Handblown blue glass ornaments catch the light beautifully. If you want something timeless, go for a set of navy or cobalt ornaments that you can reuse every year.
16. Blue Accent Pillows
Switch out your throw pillows for blue velvet or embroidered ones. It’s such an easy swap, and suddenly your living room screams holiday cheer without a single piece of tinsel.
17. Icy Blue Garland
Run blue frosted garland along your stair banister or mantle. Add fairy lights for an extra glow. It’s basically the holiday version of mood lighting.
18. Blue Bauble Chandelier
Ever seen those Pinterest-worthy chandeliers decorated for Christmas? Wrap yours with blue ornaments and ribbon. It turns an everyday fixture into a holiday centerpiece.
19. Blue Advent Calendar
Instead of the usual green-and-red countdown, go for a blue-themed advent calendar. Whether it’s fabric, wood, or paper, it’ll feel like a unique part of your decor.
20. Blue and White Snowflake Accents
Scatter blue and white snowflakes around your house—on the table, the windows, or hanging from the ceiling. They add a playful winter touch without going overboard.
21. Blue Holiday Village Houses
You know those tiny ceramic Christmas villages? Paint or buy them in shades of blue. They’ll look whimsical but still polished on your mantle.
22. Blue Tree Skirt
A velvet navy tree skirt instantly elevates your tree. Plus, it hides the ugly tree stand—so it’s basically a win-win.
23. Blue Door Bow
If you want to really go big, tie a giant blue bow on your front door. It’s dramatic, it’s fun, and it tells the whole neighborhood you’re ready for Christmas in style.
Wrapping It Up
So there you have it: 23 blue Christmas decor ideas to take your holiday styling from “meh” to “wow, do you hire a decorator?” Whether you go all in with a blue-and-silver tree or just sprinkle in a few accents here and there, blue adds a refreshing twist to the season.
Personally, I think blue decor makes Christmas feel more elegant and less chaotic (sorry, Rudolph). But the best part? It’s versatile. You can do frosty, coastal, glam, or cozy—all with the same color.
So go grab those navy stockings, wrap those gifts in icy blue paper, and let your home sparkle. After all, Christmas only comes once a year, so you might as well make it look amazing.
