Christmas Decorations

Where to Start With Christmas Decorations

With thousands of pieces spanning stockings, nutcrackers, picks, wreaths, garlands, table centrepieces and themed room displays, this is our largest single collection — and the volume is the problem when you're choosing. The fastest way through it is to decide which room or surface you're decorating first, then filter by style theme. We arrange our displays in-store around six named looks (Christmas Kingdom, Balmoral Manor, Gilded Noel, Glam of Nature, Merry-Go-Round and Plum Poetry), and the same grouping works online.

The Six Styling Themes

Our store displays are built around six distinct looks. Each one has a curated palette and set of materials, which makes narrowing the range down to a manageable shortlist much faster:

• Christmas Kingdom — traditional red, green and gold with classic nutcrackers and berry picks. The family favourite.
• Balmoral Manor — deep green, burgundy and tartan with ornate resin and velvet. Formal and elegant.
• Gilded Noel — metallic gold, champagne and ivory with glitter accents. Warm and luxurious.
• Glam of Nature — natural tones, wood textures and greenery with subtle sparkle. Rustic and earthy.
• Merry-Go-Round — bright multi-colour with playful character pieces. Fun and child-focused.
• Plum Poetry — deep purple, mauve and silver with delicate detailing. Moody and modern.

Styling Different Rooms

The Living Room and Tree

The tree is the anchor — start there and work outward. Choose a colour theme (selecting from one of the six above gives you an instant palette), then layer baubles from large to small. Place larger baubles (10cm+) deeper into the branches to create depth, smaller ones (3cm to 7cm) toward the tips for density. Add picks and sprays between ornaments to fill gaps with texture rather than more spheres. Finish with ribbon or beads as a garland wrap.

The Mantel and Fireplace

A garland along the mantel is the standard starting point. Drape it with lights, then add picks, bauble clusters at irregular intervals, and stockings hanging below. Keep the arrangement asymmetric — matching pairs read stiff. A single statement piece (a large nutcracker or lantern) at one end balances the garland.

The Dining Table

A table runner of greenery or tinsel forms the base. Low centrepieces (lanterns, candle holders, small wreaths) keep sightlines clear for conversation. Scatter baubles or miniature ornaments along the runner for sparkle. Avoid tall pieces that block guests from seeing each other.

The Front Door and Entry

A wreath on the front door is the signature piece — our 40cm to 60cm sizes suit most doors. For the entry path, stake lights or path poles guide guests in. If your home has a verandah, a garland along the railing ties the exterior to the interior theme.

Decorating on a Budget

The GSC data shows significant search volume for decorations under $10 and under $20. Our boxed bauble sets (24-pack 30mm lacquer baubles) are the best value-per-piece in the range — enough to dress a 2.1m tree for under $25. Picks and sprays are individually inexpensive and fill visual gaps efficiently. Tinsel by the metre is the cheapest way to add colour to a mantel or staircase.

What Pairs Well

• A themed bauble set plus a matching tree topper pulls the tree together.
• Garland and wreaths from the same range create a coordinated entry and mantel.
• Fairy lights woven through a garland add depth without extra colour.
• A tree skirt frames the base and catches fallen needles.

Decorating With Lights as Part of the Scheme

Lights and decorations work best when they are planned together rather than added one on top of the other. The easiest method is to pick your theme first, then choose light colour to match it: warm white flatters gold, champagne and traditional red-green palettes, while cool white suits silver, blue and white themes. Multicolour strings belong with playful family themes rather than luxe ones. If you are decorating a whole house, our complete lights range covers tree, window and outdoor strings, and the outdoor pieces pair directly with the outdoor decoration collection for a coordinated street front.

Packing Decorations Away for Next Year

Winding the season down well keeps decorations looking new. Wrap baubles back in their original trays or egg-carton dividers, roll garlands and tinsel around cardboard tubes so they do not flatten, and keep picks and small accents in a single labelled tub per theme. Soft-fabric pieces like stockings and tree skirts fold flat; resin or ceramic figures go in padded containers away from the garage roof cavity, where summer heat cracks paint and warps glue joints. Eight or nine tubs usually covers a full house, and themed tubs make next year's setup faster because each palette stays together.

Frequently Asked Questions — Christmas Decorations

Where can I buy Christmas decorations in Australia?

You're here — Christmas World operates eight stores across NSW plus this online store shipping Australia-wide. We stock a vast decoration range across six styling themes, from boxed bauble sets through to large display nutcrackers and inflatables.

How do I choose a colour theme for my decorations?

Start with our six themed collections — Kingdom (red and gold), Manor (burgundy and green), Gilded Noel (gold and ivory), Glam of Nature (natural tones), Merry-Go-Round (multi-colour) and Plum Poetry (purple and silver). Pick the palette that matches your home's existing decor and stay within it for a cohesive look.

What is the best value way to decorate a tree on a budget?

Our 24-pack 30mm lacquer bauble sets dress a full 2.1m tree for under $25. Add a $10 pick pack for texture and a single ribbon roll for a garland wrap. The tree reads styled without spending on individual statement pieces.

Can I mix decoration themes?

Two complementary themes can work if one is dominant — for example, Gilded Noel as the base with a few Merry-Go-Round character pieces for children. Mixing more than two themes tends to look scattered. When in doubt, stick to one palette.

Do you sell outdoor Christmas decorations?

Yes — see our outdoor decorations collection for garden stakes, flags, inflatables and weather-resistant display pieces designed for front lawns and verandahs.

How many baubles do I need?

For a 2.1m (7ft) tree, 40 to 60 baubles gives good coverage. For a denser, layered look, step up to 80 or more. Use our Tree Calculator for exact numbers based on your tree size.

Are your decorations available year-round?

Our online store is active year-round, but new-season stock arrives from September each year. The widest range and availability peaks from October through December. Popular lines sell out by mid-December.
