I'll go into plenty of details on why these stores are the go-to for holiday decs below, but if you are itching to get shopping here are the deals going on at H&G favorite stores right now:

Anthropologie

If you like cutesy decor that's a bit quirky and fun, Anthropologie is the place to shop holiday decor. They have some beautifully classic pieces too, like the festive take on their iconic Bistro Tile Collection, and their faux wreaths and garlands are some of the most realistic I have seen. What I love about the Anthro holiday collection is it's filled with the kind of pieces that become heirlooms, the kind of decor that you keep for decades and can bring joy year after year.

These are my top three buys from the 2024 collection, all with 30% off right now for Black Friday, so be quick!

Pottery Barn does so many different styles of Christmas decor, but I think what it does best is classic, slightly rustic pieces. Think plaid and lots of green and red and there's a bit of vintage, nostalgic feel going on here too. There's also up to 40% off most of the holiday collection for Black Friday, making already affordable pieces even more of a bargain. These are the stand out pieces in my cart.

Target

Target is a great place to shop chic and affordable Christmas decorations. I usually head straight to their collections with designers Shea McGee and Joanna Gaines. The Threshold designed with Studio McGee and the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia are both ways to create these designers iconic modern rustic look in your own home at really reasonable prices.

Amazon

It's might surprise you to see Amazon in a round-up for the best places to shop Christmas decorations, but their range is vast and there so much good stuff to be found, not to mention at great prices. I swear by shopping storefronts if you are after the good stuff quickly. My go-to is designer Drew Scott (A.K.A Lone Fox), his store font with beautiful, unexpected picks.

Lenox

If you love kitschy, vintage Christmas decor Lenox is the place for you to head. This brand has gone viral in the last few months for its nostalgic aesthetic. There's lots of gorgeous crockery and serveware on there that would be ideal for hosting over the holidays, and so much gift inspiration too. Plus, Lenox has an amazing Black Friday sale going on right now so you can save on some really gorgeous, luxurious products across the whole of the site. And you can save a further 30% off some pieces with the code SAVEBIG.

IKEA

If you love Scandi Christmas decor IKEA has you covered. Their collection impresses me every year and the prices are unbeatable! Their 2024 offering has a lovely folksy-feel to it that's very on trend this year but also a timeless theme.

Head of Interiors

I am the Head of Interiors at Homes & Gardens. I started off in the world of journalism in fashion and luxury travel and then landed my first interiors role at Real Homes and have been in the world of interior design ever since. Prior to my role at H&G I was the digital editor at Livingetc, from which I took a sabbatical to travel in my self-converted van (not as glamorous as decorating a home, but very satisfying). A year later, and with lots of technical DIY lessons learned I am back to writing and editing, sometimes even from the comfort of my home on wheels.
