Christmas Bauble Ideas: Give Your Baubles The Spotlight They Deserve

Make a bauble bowl

If you’re looking for Christmas bauble decoration ideas that are effortless but impactful, try creating a bauble bowl. Simply take a transparent bowl and fill it with baubles.

The great thing about this Christmas bauble idea is that you can use whatever leftover baubles you have. Mixing different sizes, colours and shapes makes for an eclectic and beautiful display. It can also be an easy way to tie together different colour palettes from the rest of your indoor Christmas decorations.

Of course, you can also go for a more coordinated look with baubles of the same colour. Grouping Christmas baubles in all different shades of blue conjures a timeless wintry image, while a cluster of red tones sets off that classic festive colour scheme. Whether you prefer bold Rhapsody Blues or like to embrace traditional Christmas Spirit, our 2023 Christmas trends have something perfect for you.

Give a twig display a bauble makeover

Sometimes it’s hard to give our dazzling baubles the limelight they deserve on a full-size, luxuriant Christmas tree. This bauble decorating idea is all about paring it back and letting your baubles be the star of the show.

Adorning a twig display with Christmas baubles has become an increasingly popular design trend. It’s easy and delivers a sophisticated finished look. Just grab some twigs or branches from the garden and arrange them in a bowl or vase on a raised surface like a table, windowsill or mantelpiece. You could also use spray paint to colour your sprigs of foliage silver or gold for an extra wintry or festive feel.

Once you’ve collected and arranged your twig display, simply dress them with baubles of your choice. This is the perfect way to showcase your big, statement baubles. Bedecking your twigs with a cluster of smaller, simple baubles is an equally chic addition to a more minimalistic décor.

Add some extra magic to your Christmas lights

One of the simplest ideas for hanging your Christmas baubles, somewhere other than your Christmas tree of course, is using a string of Christmas lights. During the festive season our homes are aglow with magical fairy lights. Lucky for us, these provide the perfect hanging spot for Christmas baubles.

When you’re hanging Christmas lights, simply string a few baubles along the wire, spacing them out evenly. The baubles will dangle down elegantly, providing the perfect decorative touch.

This works particularly well with baubles that have a shine or iridescence, as the light bounces off them, projecting a gorgeous glow around the room.

Create a bauble wreath

No festive front door is complete without a wreath. In recent years, bauble wreaths have become an increasingly popular Christmas bauble design idea.

Replacing classic pine with shiny baubles, bauble wreaths provide a more glamorous and modern take on this traditional Christmas decoration. They’re also reasonably easy to make yourself. If you’re up for the task, check out our blog for step-by-step instructions on how to make a bauble wreath.

If your festive season is too busy for DIY projects, or if you want to keep your wreath pine-based, baubles work equally well as added decoration. Simply find a pre-made wreath at your local Homebase and attach some small baubles to nestle in with the rest of the foliage.

Make a tabletop centrepiece

At Christmas, the dining table is always at the heart of celebrations, so why not dress it for the occasion with a beautiful bauble centrepiece? Crafting a bauble centrepiece to wow your dinner guests is one of our bauble decorating ideas that can be as extravagant or understated as you like.

A simple way to add some magic to your dining table is to fill glass vases or large glasses with Christmas baubles. You can do a similar thing with a cake stand, clustering baubles on each plate.

If you want less of a statement piece and more of an added sparkle, simply scatter some small baubles along the centre of the table. Accompany these with dainty Christmas lights and you have yourself the perfect bauble centrepiece.
