Once again we have an original Christmas decoration idea for you. So if you are a fan of unusual decorations, you will definitely enjoy them too. These are simple ladders that can be decorated for Christmas. For this you can use any Christmas decorations and other Christmas elements such as artificial snow, fairy lights or fir greenery and Christmas figures. The wooden ladder decoration is great as a replacement for a Christmas tree, but also as an additional Christmas decoration. Just take a look at the imaginative ideas and implement your favorites yourself by decorating an old ladder for Christmas.
Decoration ideas with fir green
Pine green might be the first thing that comes to mind when decorating the ladder for Christmas. This variant is also suitable if you want to use the ladder as a replacement for the traditional Christmas tree. The triangle that forms the ladder is reminiscent of a fir tree, which is even reinforced by a paneling with fir branches. The branches can also be combined with other decorative elements.
In addition to fir green, any other evergreen plant is of course also suitable. In principle there are no rules. Furthermore, the entire ladder does not necessarily have to be covered. A small arrangement as an accent like the example above is also a good way to give the decoration the necessary Christmas charm.
Old wooden ladder beautifully illuminated with fairy lights
Just like you have the Christmas tree, thatRailing of the stairsor decorate the windows with fairy lights, you can also use the small lights. What type of ladder you use makes absolutely no difference. The lighting looks just as pretty leaning against the wall as it does free-standing in the room.
You have the choice between a wide variety of fairy lights. There are those with white and yellow light and of course colorful ones. The shape of the bulbs can also vary. In addition to the tiny models that are mostly used today, there are also vintage light bulbs or those with special shapes like stars. Take a look around and decorate not only the interior with fairy lights, but also the garden and entrance area.
Unique homemade Christmas decorations with a ladder instead of a Christmas tree
We find this idea to decorate the living room really impressive. A large number of Christmas tree baubles were simply hung on the ladder and in this way decorated the inner area of the ladder. In addition, a chain of lights also comes into play. Here too you can play with the shapes of the tree decorations. Not only balls are suitable.
Use as many elements as you like and in any colors and you will get a truly original Christmas decoration that will attract everyone's attention. Depending on the style of the ladder, the style of decoration also depends. For example, if you want to make a rustic Christmas decoration yourself, use an old ladder that you leave in its original condition. If you want it to be more contemporary, you can also give it a new coat of paint and choose a color that matches the jewelry.
Use as a shelf in the living room
If the ladder has wider steps, these can also be used like a shelf. Then you can place any Christmas figures on them, as well as Christmas lanterns and the like. However, if your ladder only has rungs, you don't need to use themVersion with shelfwaive. Simply place boards on the rungs and you will have a large area that you can design according to your ideas. Why not use all the other ideas we’ve already mentioned?
Decorate with Christmas socks
Would you like to hang up the Christmas socks but don't have a fireplace where you could traditionally do this? Then a ladder is exactly the right alternative. One advantage is that it also offers more space. Feel free to combine the socks with some other Christmas decorations. Then the whole thing looks even more festive.
Advent calendar and postcard storage
In addition to the decorative ideas for Christmas, there are also those that are practical at the same time, but also design the room. You can use the ladder to hang one uphomemade Advent calendarto use. Then you have already finished one of the first Advent decorations and can enjoy it throughout the entire Christmas season. Now is also the time when the many postcards from friends and relatives arrive. Since it's obviously a shame to simply store them in a drawer, you can use them as decoration and hang them up instead. The ladder is perfect for this purpose. So this is another practical and also beautiful idea with which you can decorate the ladder for Christmas. Plus, senders will definitely be happy to see you show off their cards this way.
Homemade ladder for spontaneous projects
Now, you may not have a proper ladder available at the moment but still want to decorate this way. This is especially the case if you decided to do it spontaneously and at the last moment. However, there is a solution! You can easily imitate a ladder using rope and sticks. This is a good alternative even if you don't have space to set up a real ladder. This ladder alternative is attached to the wall.
As with most of the other ideas above, you can then decorate with any elements you like. Trailers in particular are particularly suitable here. The result is a rustic wall decoration that looks nostalgic and Christmassy and is unusual at the same time.
How else you can decorate a ladder for Christmas
All of the ideas mentioned are merely suggestions and are by no means everything that can be used for design. Just look at all the Christmas decorations that haven't been used for a few years and are just sitting in boxes in the attic or basement. You can certainly find a lot that can be used again with the help of the ladder. Hang a Christmas wreath or simply hang Christmas fabric over the rungs. Even winter things like gloves or knitted winter hats, skis and ice skates and the like are great for even improving the mood in the room during the Christmas season. Let your imagination run wild!
