Winter Decorating Ideas to Make Your Home Feel Extra Cozy After Christmas

Christmas may be "the most wonderful time of the year," but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate all that the winter season brings in the months to follow. Tap into the season's sweeping feeling of cozy and calm by dressing your home with these winter decorating ideas. These gorgeous decorations — some easy winter crafts, some ready-made — highlight everything that makes the post-Christmas months merry and bright: the enchanting aroma of citrus and pine, warm nights cuddled up by the fire, frost-covered front lawns, and so much more.

Although most of the ideas stay away from traditional Christmas colors and embellishments, many can be arranged well before December 25 and stay up until we usher in the spring season. You can go big or small with these winter decorations — string fresh garland across your fireplace mantel, craft together a custom centerpiece to make family dinners feel extra-special, hang a winter wreath on your front door, make your living room feel as magical as a Hallmark Christmas movie with decorations galore, or all of the above. The more, the merrier ... right?
