Retro Christmas Decor

Now starring: retro christmas decor

Attention, holiday headquarters: the tree needn't do all the decorating. A patterned lamp beside Dad's reading chair gives the room Christmas character long before the presents arrive. This is mid century modern christmas decor for people who like their holiday cheer with clean silhouettes and a little cocktail-hour confidence. Start your scene with Christmas tripod floor lamps or Christmas tripod table lamps.

The print's little legend? Retro ornaments, little trees, and starbursts, reporting for merrymaking duty. Our original Mid-Century Christmas pattern brings that holiday rhythm to new, vintage-inspired pieces, not somebody else's attic discoveries. Let the motifs take center stage against a plain sofa, or echo them across the room. Meet the pattern on a Christmas drum lamp shade, then consider Christmas nesting tables for the encore.

Choose Your Silhouette, Then Cue the Carols

Begin with the spot that needs some pep. The Christmas cylinder table lamp has a shade diameter of 5.5 inches and a lamp height of 11.0 inches: a compact choice for a bedside table or desk. Want a taller presence beside the sofa? The Christmas teardrop floor lamp stands 54.0 inches high. Measure your intended spot before choosing; a handsome silhouette deserves a sensible place.

For retro christmas decor with an overhead sweep, the Christmas arc floor lamp carries a shade measuring 11.0 inches in diameter and 9.0 inches high. Prefer a narrower-looking accent beside a chair? The Christmas slim floor lamp has a shade measuring 5.5 inches in diameter and 13.8 inches high. Choose by the outline you want, then let those ornaments and starbursts supply the festive business.

Give Every Room a Holiday Speaking Part

Your kitchen deserves better than watching the living room have all the fun. A Christmas kitchen runner rug, measuring 20 x 60 inches, puts the pattern along a longer stretch of floor. A Christmas floor mat, measuring 23.6 x 35.4 inches, offers a smaller accent. For mid century christmas decor that carries the idea beyond the cookie counter, browse retro bathroom accents, too.

In the living room, repeat the print across different shapes rather than crowding every surface. Pair a Christmas throw blanket over the sofa arm with a Christmas throw pillow cover, then leave nearby pieces plain. That's 1950s christmas decor with a modern sense of restraint. For another room, a Christmas bedside lamp gives your evening reading spot its own festive close-up.

A Little Holiday Pep Goes a Long Way

Shopping for the friend whose ranch-house dreams include a hi-fi and a very serious cookie plate? Vintage style christmas decor makes sense when it earns a place in everyday routines. A Christmas kiss lock coin purse brings the pattern along on errands; a Christmas mini coin purse makes a small, personal present. No need to guess how much room they have beside the sofa.

For your own seasonal refresh, give a familiar corner a different patterned accent rather than rearranging the whole house. Searching for mcm christmas decor can lead beyond the mantel: think bedroom, breakfast nook, even the view toward the garden. Carry the little trees and starbursts outside with Christmas hanging solar lanterns, or explore the wider cast of retro holiday and seasonal decor.

Questions and answers

How do I choose the right size Christmas lamp shade?

Start with the dimensions of the shade you're considering and the space around your lamp. The Christmas small drum lamp shade measures 11.0 inches in diameter and 9.0 inches high. For a different proportion, the Christmas cylinder lamp shade measures 5.5 inches in diameter and 13.8 inches high. Check the individual listing before choosing.

Which print should I choose for a coordinated Christmas room?

This collection centers on Mid-Century Christmas: retro ornaments, little trees, and starbursts. Choose the piece you'll notice most, then repeat that pattern in a smaller accent nearby. For retro christmas decor with a coordinated look, begin with the Christmas nesting tables and browse throw pillow covers for a sofa-side companion.

Can I mix Christmas patterns with my everyday retro decor?

Certainly. Let the holiday motifs be the busy element, and keep a few neighboring surfaces plain. Separate competing patterns with a solid-colored chair or an uncluttered stretch of wall. A Christmas drum lamp shade can lead the arrangement; browse mid century modern home decor for accents that support the room rather than compete for the microphone.

Where can I decorate besides the living room?

Try the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, or an outdoor gathering spot. Pick a useful piece for the room instead of adding decorations wherever there's an empty corner. A Christmas shower curtain gives the bathroom a festive focal point, while Christmas solar garden lights take the pattern outdoors. The mantel has had plenty of attention already.
