After the holiday season, it’s time to transition your home into a cozy, calm space without the clutter of Christmas decorations. Here are five simple and subtle ways to decorate your home post-Christmas while keeping it fresh and inviting for the New Year 2025:
1. Swap Out Holiday Decor for Winter-Themed Pieces
Replace your Christmas decorations with more neutral winter-themed accents. Think simple pinecones, faux fur throws, or snow-dusted branches. These elements still evoke the winter season without the festive holiday vibe.

I love these winter-y decoration pieces that don't scream Christmas....
2. Keep the Lights Soft and Subtle
If you love the cozy ambiance of holiday lights, leave a few string lights up in neutral colors like white or soft gold. Drape them over mantels, mirrors, or in glass jars for a calming glow that lasts well into the new year.
3. Update Throw Pillows and Blankets
Swap out your holiday-themed pillows for ones in calming, neutral tones like soft grays, whites, or muted browns. Layer with a chunky knit blanket or faux fur to add warmth and texture, keeping your space cozy but not too festive.
Here are a few examples in that are similar to the 2025 Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse:
If you buy the above 22X22 velvet pillow covers....check out these feather down pillow inserts for a luxurious feel. I bought a couple of these feather down inserts last year and they are absolutely top quality and they come in every size you could possibly need!!
4. Add Greenery Without the Christmas Touch
Replace your Christmas tree with a simple indoor plant or a few potted greenery. A fiddle leaf fig, snake plant, or even a collection of succulents can refresh the room and bring life into your space without the holiday decor.
I love these realistic (and low maintenance!) succulents...you can place them in whatever containers you already have on hand too.
Or, for a more polished look, try one of these pre-potted topiaries
5. Focus on Minimalist Art and Decor
Simplify your walls and surfaces by rotating out your Christmas artwork and opting for minimalist art or traditional prints. Soft abstract paintings, calming landscapes, or black-and-white photography can help maintain a peaceful and uncluttered atmosphere.
By removing the holiday clutter and focusing on subtle winter elements, you can create a serene and stylish space that feels fresh, inviting, and ready for the year ahead.
If I had all. the. money. I would buy everything on this list especially you, cashmere throw, lol!!
Hugs,
