Blue and white is one of the prettiest ways to decorate for Christmas. It feels calm, fresh and a little coastal, and it works with the white walls and natural textures you already have. Here are 20 easy blue and white Christmas decor ideas for the tree, the front door, the table and every cozy corner, most of them budget-friendly.
A Blue and White Christmas Tree
1. Trim the tree in shades of blue. Mix navy, sky blue and silver ornaments on a green tree. Sticking to one color family makes even inexpensive ornaments look pulled together.
2. Add blue and white patterned ornaments. Ornaments with a china-style pattern feel classic and a little coastal. A handful tucked near the lights is enough to set the theme.
3. Try white branches with blue baubles. A white tree or a vase of white branches with blue baubles and fairy lights looks fresh, airy and perfect for small spaces.
4. Layer painted glass ornaments. Hand-painted blue and white glass ornaments catch the light beautifully. Hang the special ones at eye level where guests will see them.
Wreaths, Doors and Windows
5. Hang a coastal wreath with a blue bow. A white or natural wreath with a navy ribbon, a few shells or a tiny sailboat welcomes guests with a seaside holiday feel.
6. Pair a blue door with simple wreaths. If your door is navy or blue, matching wreaths with soft florals and greenery make the entry look festive without extra color.
7. Put small wreaths in the windows. Mini wreaths hung on ribbon inside the windows look charming from the street and inside the room. Keep them small and simple.
The Holiday Table
8. Set the table with blue and white plates. Classic blue and white dishes instantly feel festive. Mix patterns you already own, then add white napkins and a sprig of greenery.
9. Light candles in sea-glass colors. Green or aqua glass candlesticks with white candles and white roses add a soft glow and a breezy coastal touch.
10. Serve cocoa in blue mugs. A few blue mugs and a tiny tree on the table make cozy holiday mornings feel special, and they cost very little.
11. Fill a ginger jar with greenery. A blue and white ginger jar with pine, eucalyptus or holly makes an easy, elegant centerpiece that you can leave out all winter.
Cozy Living Room Touches
12. Swap in blue throw pillows. Navy and denim blue pillows on a gray or white sofa make the whole room feel ready for the season. Keep one or two in a soft texture.
13. Choose white and checked stockings. Cream knit and checked stockings look calm and modern, and they suit a blue and white palette better than bright red.
14. Dress the banister in greenery. Wrap a simple garland along the staircase and add a small wreath or bow. It brings Christmas to the entry without taking up floor space.
15. Display white amaryllis or flowers. A single white amaryllis or a bunch of white blooms in a plain vase feels fresh and lets your blue decor stand out.
Little Blue and White Details
16. Wrap gifts in blue and white. Blue paper, white ribbon and a small ornament on top make gifts under the tree part of the decor.
17. Let warm white lights glow. Warm white lights on the tree and around the room keep blue tones from feeling cold. Turn off the overhead lights in the evening.
18. Line a windowsill with blue glass. A row of blue bottles or glass pieces on a sunny sill glows like sea glass and costs almost nothing if you reuse old bottles.
19. Hang paper snowflakes. White paper snowflakes on clear thread look magical in a window, and making them is a fun, free family project.
20. Add blue and white to the kitchen. Candles, a plate of cookies and blue tiles or blue dish towels make the kitchen feel part of the holidays.
Final Tips
Pick two or three shades of blue, add plenty of white and warm lights, and repeat the colors in every room so the house feels connected. Start with the tree and the table, then add small details as you go. Save this post on Pinterest so you have these ideas ready when you decorate.
