25 ways to decorate your stairs & banisters this Christmas!

Hello dear Christmas friends!

It's a been a busy week at our place and now I am on school holidays I am very excited about catching up with my Christmas bloggy friends and finding some new ideas for my Christmas decorating from Pinterest.

I always struggle with decorating for Christmas Down Under. For a start it's summer so it seems strange putting up wintry decorations. I also don't have a fireplace so I don't have anywhere to hang my stockings! Luckily I have found some fun and festive alternative ways to hang our stockings... with care!

Here are 25 ways to decorate your stairs and 
banisters this Christmas!

  1. Yes Natasha, I was thinking I would love to decorate for a 'down under' summer Christmas this year too but I'm not a very good ideas person. And I love the reds and greens of a northern Christmas. So I will be interestd to see what you put up for us, will maybe pinch some of your ideas :D)

    I hope you're not missing your Maddy too much, she's going to have a fabulous time by the look of things.

  5. Good to get the ideas flowing early. My entryway is quite small and I would like to make a great impact. I think there are some good ideas here but I draw the line at getting a decorative Yorkie dog. Lol.

  6. Love these ideas. I have the same problem, no fireplace. My stairs are right in the middle of the open-floor plan house, so decorating them is a great idea. I'm pinning your post for future reference.

  14. What a great post, good to get me into the Christmas spirit early. I really like the idea of branches decorated for the stairs. We always have trimmings from trees left over so i will definately consider putting them up with a few baubles.

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976
