Does anyone decorate every room/hallway etc?

[HintOfVintagePink]

Inspired by another thread.
Usually I only tend to put decorations up in our sitting room and in the kitchen/family room where the big tree will be. I do a door wreath and some outside lights and may string some lights on the stairs.

I would love some tips and ideas please for how people decorate the rest of their houses. Does anyone do the entrance hall, landings and bedrooms? I’m even thinking about the bathrooms too!

Wreaths up the stairs is always a lovely look.
We used to decorate the hall and kitchen when I was little- early 80's.
Sainsburys do christmas toilet roll and bog cleaner.

Not every room.
Christmas tree and lights in the lounge.
Fairy lights in the conservatory.
Fairy lights in the hallway wound around the bannisters.
Wreath on front door.

While I love seeing decorations, it's a massive effort to put them all up and take them down. So I only do the living room.

I put fairy lights and a couple of decorations up in the kitchen. Decorate the playroom/dining room properly with a tree, stars hanging on walls etc. Obviously do the lounge. Garland up banister and some signs and things on walls and windowsills. Wreath and some big silver bells on the front door. Want to add some lights this year too. Kids both going to have little trees in their rooms and Christmas throws on the bed.
I take down quite a few pictures and ornaments so it doesn't look cluttered.

I do the sitting room, the front hall and stairs so it looks welcoming for visitors, and the dining table on Xmas day.

The bit I like best, I wind greenery between the bannisters and tie it with cream & gold ribbon. It makes the hall smell of pine.

This year, since we won't be having the neighbours over (cv19), I'm going to string some baubles over the front gate and hang icicle lights along the eaves plus a wreath on the front door.

We do everywhere bar bathroom, but only because we are a crafting family and now have a stupid number of decorations! We put wreaths over bedroom doors, hang baubles on ribbons up the banisters etc. It is more a case of 'where can we put this'!

Luckily because it is nearly all homemade wool craft things tend to match. One child likes shiny things but they get put in their bedroom!

Tree in the hallway and garlands with lights on the stair handrail and banister on the landing. Sitting and dining rooms both have trees and garlands over the fireplaces. Open plan family room/kitchen has another tree, garlands over the fireplaces (2) and the dresser. Centerpieces on the table and kitchen island instead of the fruit bowls that normally sit there. Lights, lots and lots of lights. Bedrooms get a tree and the bathrooms have some sort of Christmas ornament in them for an example a ceramic Christmas tree sat on the window sill

Living rooms yes, bedrooms and bathrooms no. Although I did get Christmassy smelling soap from TKMaxx a few years ago that goes in our downstairs loo. We have a good sized hallway so like decorating it. We do have lots of decorations made by the kids, e.g. paperchains in the hallway, paper snowflakes in the dining room, playroom full of various Christmas crafts. Sitting room is all twinkly lights though.

Our lounge and dining room have been knocked through so that's where the bulk of the decorations go, but I have a garland up the stairs and then fairy lights and things on sideboards and window sills throughout the house.

I was tempted to get mini trees for the DC's bedrooms, but they're absolute hovels so I'm not wasting my money! We have an open fireplace in our room so I pop decorations in that.

The bathrooms are fun to decorate . Christmas candles, seasonal hand towels and lights over the shower rail. I always do white flowers in good crystal vases in the bathrooms and that, with the candles lit, really feels seasonal.

Most rooms downstairs - trees in the kitchen (small one on the counter), lounge, hall and dining room. Wreaths in various places, mistletoe hung up, Christmas towels and soap dispenser in the bathroom, Christmas tea towels, place mats, plates etc... Garlands up the stair case and on fireplace. Chunky ornaments on sideboard.

we may go slightly overboard....

Hall, sitting room, playroom, dining room, kitchen, downstairs loo and a little something on the mantelpiece in our bedroom.

I seem to go more and more overboard every year.

Putting the decorations up is a full, long day. If you include putting the (artificial) ulterior together, getting all the boxes down from the art tic, putting them back etc, it is about 20 hours. I don’t know why I do it to myself!

There isn't a room that doesn't get decorated here. Though we've moved house and now don't have stairs, so the hall isn't as straightforward as when I just wound a huge garland with red ribbon and dried orange slices through the bannisters. I'll have to come up with some greenery to hang over the doors, I think.

Living/dining room: tree and most decorations. I have a DIY cardboard box fireplace with a set of felt logs and felt flames. They have tealights and bits and bobs on.
Kitchen: fridge snowman, nothing else as it's a proxy room (snowman is felt circles, roughly cut, glued to magnets, orange felt for carrot). Very easy to store, takes up no space. It's a big eye-catching decoration when it's up, people LOVE it.
Child's room: paper chains and various sparkly crap, no room for a tree, though.
Bathroom nothing.
Bedroom, office and hall, bits of holly draped over pictures
Wreath on the front door.

I have a Garland wrapped around the banister, a small 3ft tree in the hallway & a wreath on the front door. I’ve never had outdoor lights because frankly the outside of our house is horrible looking but next year we will be in our new home and this is something I am very excited about!!
I have a tree in the lounge and one in the kitchen.

We have a fairly large Victorian house, so each door in the downstairs hall has a short garland over it. These came originally from Poundland, were plain greenery, but now have red beads, small red and gold bells and poinsettias on them. They have a thin wire loop at each end which slip over small nails which stay up all year and are virtually invisible. A work of minutes to put them up for immediate festiveness. A greenery garland on the banisters with fairy lights and red bells and gold pine cones. My least favourite job as the garland is so heavy and slithery.
Sitting room - big tree, garland, or swag as we call them here, hanging from the mantel piece.
Dining room - tree, another swag hanging from the mantelpiece which holds a collection of old glasses which I fill with coils of silver beads, with which I also fill some marble urns and silver bowls.
Snug - swagged fireplace
Conservatory - lots of fairy lights and a small tree.
Kitchen - fairy lights and strings for cards along the dresser shelves. I hate Christmas cards and when DH was a headteacher he used to get tons of cards from every school in the region plus all the worthy local organisations. Now thank heaven it is just friends.
I don't do any decorating upstairs apart from putting a Christmas hat on the suit of armour on the half landing.
I used to do a lot more, but now steer clear of anything involving ladders.

I do most of the house - from a wreath on the front door to a wreath on the outside of every bedroom door, I have a Garland that goes up the bannister, every piece of art in the house has tinsel draped over the top, so do all the fireplaces and cabinets etc. Some of the fireplaces also have things like Christmas bunting in the bedrooms; and every room will have little decorations - so snowmen on the desks in the study for example. As well as the main tree in the lounge, I put a small one in the drawing room and then another smaller one elsewhere. Thinking about it - the only rooms I don't decorate are the bathrooms!!

Ooh, garlands over doors sound good.

Oh I also put Santa hats on the stone lions outside much to DH's embarrassment 

@TrickyD I am so jealous that you have a suit of armour - I have always wanted one. Where did you get that from? And I would totally give him a Santa hat each year as well.

We decorate the living room and kitchen (knocked through with dining room).
Also DS’s room.
In the hall way, we put these window curtain lights around the banisters up the stairs. Also a few Christmassy decs on the cupboard surface and either some greenery or tinsel on the picture / art frames (depending on how tasteful I’m feeling).
Also a wreath on the door.

Dinosauraddict, I saw him in a shop window being a 'knight in shining armour' for Valentine's Day, so I went in and asked if he was for sale. He had only been borrowed from his owner so they had to ring him. He said he would sell for £300. I rang DH to tell him and he said 'Where on earth would we put him? Daft question.
We are all very fond of him but he certainly makes visitors jump when they spot him.

My DH would LOVE that

Some lovely ideas on here, thank you!
I’m definitely using the pine cones and fairy lights, garlands/swags on the stairs and above bedroom floors and the white flowers and candles in bathrooms.

I am extremely envious of the suit of armour and lions!

*doors, not floors!
