With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to think about decorating our homes to create that festive holiday atmosphere. Whether you’re updating your existing decor or starting fresh in a new home, it’s always exciting to add some seasonal charm. I’ve rounded up a few cozy modern holiday decor ideas that are perfect for the season, all under $100. If you’re looking for faux greenery, garlands, stockings, or tree decor, this list has something for you!

While I haven’t started decorating yet, I’ve been planning out what my space will look like this year. The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas always feels so short, so now is the perfect time to get organized and find some new pieces for my home. If you’re looking for inspiration or have a few gaps in your holiday decor, this list of recommendations might just be what you need!

Here’s a breakdown of my top picks in three categories:

• Faux Greenery and Wreaths
• Tree Decor and Garlands
• Stockings

Faux Greenery and Wreaths
Though I love the look of real greenery, faux options can be just as beautiful, especially if you want your decor to last throughout the season. Faux greenery has come a long way, and it’s more affordable than ever to find high-quality pieces that can be reused for years. From realistic garlands to lush wreaths, these pieces can easily elevate any space without the hassle of shedding needles or wilting leaves.

Some of my favorites include an elegant faux juniper garland, a charming magnolia wreath with a gold accent, and a simple but stunning potted faux pine topiary. These pieces are perfect for mantels, stair banisters, or anywhere else you want to add some seasonal greenery. They’re available from retailers like Target and Crate & Barrel, and I’ve been really impressed with the quality.

Tree Decor and Garlands
When it comes to decorating the tree, the possibilities are endless! From sentimental ornaments to chic, monochrome themes, you can transform your tree each year or stick to a traditional style. For me, I use silver ornaments as a base and add a few new ones every year. This year, I’ve been on the lookout for some new tree collars to replace my old tree skirt. I’ve found a couple of great options that are both affordable and stylish, including a woven tree collar and one from Crate & Barrel that I’m really excited about.

In addition to tree collars, garlands are an easy way to add texture and color. Whether you’re looking for wood and white garlands to contrast with greenery or a leaf-style garland to complement your tree, these decorative pieces are versatile enough to hang from the tree, around the mantle, or down a bannister.

Stockings
With a new baby in our family, stockings have become a must-have this holiday season. We have a beautiful mantle in our new house that’s just begging for stockings to be hung, and I thought it would be fun to find some modern options that would fit our style. I’ve been eyeing a few that feature cozy knit textures, fun pom-pom details, and a modern twist on traditional designs. Some of my favorites include striped knit stockings, a cute green pom-pom version, and a sleek felt Santa stocking. There are plenty of options that would complement a variety of holiday themes!

Whether you’re updating your current decor or starting fresh, these cozy and modern holiday finds are sure to bring festive cheer to your home. With affordable options under $100, it’s easy to find pieces that will enhance your space and make the season extra special. Happy decorating!
