Cozy Minimal Christmas Inspiration
This post may contain affiliate links, please review my disclosure policy.
It’s that time (my FAVORITE) time of year. Every holiday season, I struggle with wanting to fill the house to the brim with christmas decor vs. keeping things uncluttered and simple. I know keeping things minimal is what brings our family the most peace. That being said, I like to add a lot of bang for my buck. Each item is intentional, so that our house can be filled with Christmas cheer without getting overwhelming.
Before decorating, I took some time looking for inspiration for minimalist Christmas decor ideas. Today I’m sharing a few favorite photos that inspired me this year!
I don’t know about you, but I always wish that Christmas decor could hang around longer than is socially acceptable. Why can’t I just live happily with my Christmas decor until, I don’t know, April.
For this reason, I start decorating our home pretty early. Our house is usually decorated before Thanksgiving, and I do this for two reasons. 1) So we can enjoy the coziness for as long as possible. 2) So I can slowly add to our decor, fully enjoy it, and not feel hurried.
As a minimal decor lover, I like to look back on what I’ve done in years past and figure out how to use what we already own. But also add a little something new to keep things fresh and inspiring.
So let’s get into the cozy and minimal Christmas decor that’s inspiring me this year.
I love the simplistic coziness of this room by Amber Interiors. The offset garland, natural materials and natural elements, and the simple candlesticks stand out to me most. This is a great way to add a perfect amount of Christmas without things getting too busy. Especially in a small space.

I am a sucker for a traditional, cozy Christmas dining room. The use of garland for the table and old brass candlesticks are a perfect focal point for the Christmas season. A classic look for a Christmas dining table that will never go out of style.

The use of natural elements and dried oranges is always a win for me, year after year.

There’s something so charming about a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, isn’t there? I have been loving the look of a sparse tree (a perfect minimalist Christmas tree) this year. I find myself so inspired by this one from Maggie Vollrath. While I love a real tree, we keep artificial trees in our house so that we can decorate earlier and create less mess.
