White Christmas Village
Christmas decorating is hands down my favorite! I truly enjoy having a touch of the season all over our home. Today I’m sharing a very simple and affordable white Christmas village idea to cozy up your entryway and welcome your friends and family. And, it can easily transition into Winter décor after the holidays.
In keeping with my flocked neutral color pallet this year I decided on the white ceramic battery lit houses and silver/flocked bottle brushes I found in the Target Dollar Spot. There are different houses to choose from (wood, metal, black) so this look can easily be adjusted to fit your décor. Plus at a few dollars each it’s a great way to add to your Christmas stash.
One of my best friends said this final look seemed intimidating and she didn’t think anyone could pull this off. After I explained just how easy and affordable this was to do, she insisted I share this with everyone!
So, I’m here to tell you yes, you can pull this look together!

Start with a blank slate
I set these 3′ flocked trees on either end, then placed my thrifted tiered tray off center to match the placement of my everyday mercury glass lamp. I love hints of copper throughout my décor and think the tray and star not only anchor this space but bring a touch of warmth without disrupting the overall look. The wood beads wrapped around the lamp help to pull a bit of natural brown to this side for balance.
Start building
I added some of the smaller houses and bottle brushes to my tiered tray. Don’t worry too much about final placement at this point. There is always time for jshuzing later. You just want to get everything arranged in their general areas.
I added two more houses to the left and filled in with 2 bottle brushes and this mercury glass tree I found at the Goodwill over the summer. I’m always on the lookout for great buys and this guy was a steal. The height of this mercury tree made for some great tree staggering adding visual interest.
On the right side I added the two largest ceramic homes with the remaining bottle brush trees. Behind them is a tall, paper thin, glass tree from Hobby Lobby. This glass tree added some height and different texture.
And, here is my final white Christmas village display. I did a little tweeking, or jshuzing as I like to say, after it was dark outside and I turned the little lights on.
Don’t be afraid to move things around over the next few days. You might find that moving, adding or removing some pieces will suddenly make your look fall into place. I tried taking out the tiered tray and arranging the houses and trees down with the others. But it just didn’t work. So, back in went the tray and bam! Now there were different textures, different places for your eye to travel and it felt happy.
So remember, yes you can create this look or something similar. Gather items that make you happy and get started. You do you and enjoy your Christmas village!
Use this strand of lights when the village batteries no longer work.
See how this look can transition to your Winter decor.
