The gallery wall in our living room is one of my favorite spots to decorate for the holidays! And by holidays I’m talking – Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas – you know, the festive trifecta that makes decorating even more fun than it normally is! Holiday decorating is my super bowl. 😉 But I’m in to win it with simple ideas that don’t exhaust me. And as it turns out, giving this gallery wall, filled with special photographs and art pieces, a holiday makeover doesn’t require much effort or expense.
Starting from here……….
Absolutely no new nail holes are needed! And with just a few simple ideas I’m able to create a fun and festive look for each holiday.
Watch this video to see these simple holiday decorating ideas in action:
Halloween
Paper crows and removable wall putty for the win!
An open back frame makes switching out your art super easy. This is just scrapbook paper and chipboard letters from the craft store.
Thanksgiving
Poor Thanksgiving is often the forgotten holiday when it comes to seasonal decor, as a lot of people move straight from Halloween to Christmas. But even if you do prefer to put your tree up before turkey day, I think a few decidedly fall or Thanksgiving-ish moments are still nice to have in your home, especially if you’re hosting the big meal. And adding a festive touch to a gallery wall is a simple way to do just that.
Craft stores have a variety of fall leaves from which to choose. The ones I used are made of burlap.
You could easily make your own out of old book pages, notebook paper or even newspaper. And to really add a thankful vibe, consider using a black sharpie to write down something your thankful for on each leaf.
Christmas
It’s always amazing to me what just a few simple and easy-to-execute ideas can do!
I mean, it really doesn’t get any simpler than stickers and ribbon!
You can get super creative with removable stickers on glass-fronted frames.
A Christmas card layered on top of a piece of scrapbook paper brings some holiday art to this open back frame situation and finishes off this simple festive makeover really nicely. Love me a leopard-plaid combo!
Hope you saw an idea here you can use in your home this season! Gallery walls are just so fun to dress for the holidays!
