This is the first Christmas where my both of my kids really understand Christmas. They’re in full on Christmas-mode. They were ready to set up the tree weeks ago. I think they were on the same timeline as most retailers 😉 So keeping that in mind I thought it would be so much fun to decorate their room for Christmas!
For the tree in our living room I usually have a pretty neutral decor. The designer in me loves coordinating colors and patterns. BUT I also adore our kid’s handmade ornaments. And believe it or not, I really do think color is fun. So I thought the way to have the best of both worlds is to have a little mini holiday setup in their room.
I wanted to fill their room with color and fun, so I went all out with bright eye-catching colors and rainbow lights and glitter. That’s kid-language right there 😉 I also added a mini tree so that we could display the ornaments they make (as soon as they make them). Obviously a mini-tree will only work for so long, but at this point in the game it’s perfect.
My inspiration came from this gorgeous, happy wreath. The great combination of colors was so perfect to start with. And of course Pier 1 had tons of ornaments in corresponding colors and styles. Everything I bought came from their Hip Hip Holiday collection. If you take a look you’ll see it’s full of whimsy with pink elephants and sparkle, super fun.
I decided to keep it relatively simple and just let the colors do the talking. I decorated the bookshelf with glitter-clad reindeer in pink and green, as well as a few nutcracker ornaments in rainbow hues. The mini tree you’ll recognize from this post, it decided it wanted to be in the kid’s room instead 😉
I used this gorgeous starburst ornament as a tree topper, the scale was perfect! And to light the tree up with rainbow colors, Pier 1’s glimmer strings were just the ticket. I used these jewel-shaped blue ones to do double duty as a garland and lights. Then I also added red and green for more color. It looks beautiful at night. And it also acts as a night light!
And for the finishing touch? Colorful cardboard letters that spell “JINGLE”. They are probably my favorite piece of all. Aren’t they so adorable and fun?
How do you make Christmas fun for your kids? Do you have a few traditions you do every year? I think we have a new tradition over here at the Copy Cat Chic household. Decorating the kid’s room with holiday decor is just too fun not to do again 😉

These are such fun and whimsical touches. The kids love having their spaces decorated especially for them and Pier One is definitely a great resource for the fun touches that really do bring a lot of personality to a room. This is awesome stuff for unique looks and happy holidays.

Ok I love what all you've come up with. The wreath is so pretty. I think the word Jingle is my favorite though. Love!!
Rochkirstin Santos says
It's great that you get to enjoy the holidays with children with all the decors and glitter. For many families here that are not well off, Christmas for the kids is about knowing Christ and reading the Bible. We spend it simply by sticking together with the family.
Katalina Kastravet says
Wow these decorations are so colorful, beautiful and fun. It would be so much fun to recreate some with my son and it will make his room look so much brighter and festive. The word Jingle is definitely a must!
Miss Angie says
I am loving all of that color! I have only ever been to a Pier 1 maybe once? I can't remember it very well, but now I think I need to go. My recent obsession has been Home Goods, but they didn't have the greatest holiday selection this time around. I just love all that brightness!
Felicita says
I love the bright festive decorations! My kids would definitely love it! I love Pier 1 – they always have so many decorating ideas. I just like going inside to browse all the different products and see the displays.
Hi, I'm Susannah! says
What cute decor! I love all the color! It definitely makes me rethink my rustic design theme and consider going colorful! 😉
Winter White says
I am also going for a jewel toned look this Christmas with my tree. I love decorating for Christmas and I use different colors in different rooms. That wreath is everything!
Jennifer Tammy says
What a gorgeous display! We actually made an ornament wreath this year, which was fun but not nearly as pretty as yours. I'm actually curious about the books in the bottom right corner – they look so cool! What are they?
Reichel Broussard says
Thanks so much Jennifer 🙂 The books are the Junior Classics and they were mine when I was a kid. You can find them on eBay. They're a great collection of all sorts of different stories. Each books has a different theme.
Kaye Figuracion says
Your decorations looks so great. I love the color combination you used. It's very enticing to the kid's eyes.
