Neutral Christmas Decor

The faux fur and woven presents are such a cute idea to place under a tree or by the fireplace for a fun touch of Christmas.

You don’t have to decorate with faux green trees or wreaths if you don’t want to!

Use glass trees on the mantel, kitchen counters, on the coffee table, by your bedside, on the sideboard in the dining room or even on the kitchen table.
