Holiday decorating doesn’t always need to involve ladders, tangled lights, glitter-covered garland, or giant storage bins hidden in the basement eleven months of the year.
Sometimes the simplest holiday decorating ideas end up making the biggest impact.
This season, one of our favourite ways to decorate for Christmas has been using removable Christmas Holly Wall Decals to create custom holiday wreaths directly on walls, mirrors, and windows. The finished look feels festive and elevated while still being incredibly easy to install, remove, and customize.
And honestly? It’s far less messy than wrestling with real garland.
Whether you’re decorating a small apartment, creating renter-friendly Christmas décor, or simply wanting a low-commitment holiday update, removable Christmas wall decals make it easy to transform your space without damaging walls or storing bulky seasonal décor later.
Why Removable Christmas Décor Is Becoming So Popular
One of the biggest shifts in holiday decorating lately is the move toward simpler, more flexible seasonal styling.
Instead of investing in large amounts of temporary décor that requires storage and setup every year, many homeowners are leaning toward:
- removable holiday décor
- minimal Christmas styling
- apartment-friendly decorating
- peel and stick seasonal décor
- reusable decorating ideas
- low-clutter holiday design
That’s exactly why Christmas wall decals work so beautifully.
They allow you to add warmth, greenery, and seasonal personality without committing to permanent changes or filling your home with bulky decorations.
Why Christmas Holly Décals Work So Well for DIY Wreaths
Traditional wreaths can sometimes feel:
- bulky
- expensive
- difficult to store
- messy
- limiting in placement
But removable wall decals give you complete flexibility over the final shape, spacing, and overall look of your wreath.
You can create:
- full layered wreaths
- soft minimal wreaths
- asymmetrical designs
- mirror wreaths
- window wreaths
- oversized holiday installations
Because each decal piece is separate, every wreath ends up looking completely unique.
And unlike real greenery, this wreath never wilts.
Best Places to Create a Christmas Decal Wreath
One of the best parts about removable holiday decals is how versatile they are.
Around Mirrors
One of our favourite looks is framing a large circular mirror with holly decals to create the appearance of a custom holiday wreath.
Windows
Christmas decals work beautifully on windows and glass doors because they instantly add festive charm without blocking light.
Entryways
A removable wreath installation near your front entrance creates a warm holiday moment the second guests walk into your home.
Apartments & Small Spaces
For smaller homes or apartments where large holiday décor can feel overwhelming, wall decals create festive impact without taking up valuable floor space.
How to Make a Christmas Wreath With Wall Decals
Step 1: Choose Your Space
Start by choosing where you want your wreath to live.
We especially love placing holly decals around:
- round mirrors
- entryway décor
- windows
- shelving
- fireplace walls
Any smooth, flat surface works beautifully.
Step 2: Cut Around the Decals
Carefully trim around the holly sprigs and berry clusters before installation.
Separating the pieces gives you much more flexibility during layout and allows the wreath to feel fuller and more organic.
This is one of the easiest ways to make removable wall decals feel custom and designer-inspired rather than overly uniform.
Step 3: Test Your Layout First
Before peeling the backing off, use painter’s tape to loosely position your decals into a wreath shape.
This step helps:
- balance spacing
- create movement
- prevent overcrowding
- test layering
- refine the overall shape
Some people prefer a fuller traditional wreath, while others love a softer, more minimal arrangement.
Because the decals are individually placed, you can completely customize the final design.
INFOGRAPHIC: How to Build a DIY Christmas Decal Wreath
1. Start With a Circular Shape
Use a mirror, tray, or lightly sketched outline as your wreath guide.
2. Place Larger Holly Sprigs First
Anchor the wreath using your biggest greenery pieces.
3. Fill Gaps With Smaller Leaves & Berries
Layer smaller decals throughout the wreath to soften the shape.
4. Step Back Frequently
Viewing the wreath from a distance helps create better balance and movement.
5. Peel & Stick Final Pieces
Once you’re happy with the arrangement, permanently apply the decals and smooth out any bubbles.
Step 4: Apply the Decals
Once your layout feels balanced, peel away the backing and apply each decal individually.
Use a squeegee or credit card to smooth the decals onto the wall and remove air bubbles as you go.
Because the decals are removable, the process feels far less intimidating than paint or permanent holiday installations.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Holiday Space
Once finished, your DIY Christmas wreath becomes a soft seasonal focal point that instantly warms up the room.
The final look feels:
- festive
- elevated
- cozy
- minimal
- custom
- renter-friendly
And best of all?
No glitter cleanup required.
Why Peel & Stick Christmas Décor Works So Well
Holiday wall decals are one of the easiest ways to decorate seasonally because they:
- install quickly
- remove easily
- store flat
- work in small spaces
- feel customizable
- create minimal clutter
- work beautifully for renters
They’re also perfect for anyone wanting holiday décor that feels modern, intentional, and less overwhelming than traditional decorating.
