Hey friends! I’m excited today to join Amber from Follow The Yellow Brick Home and a few of my friends for a winter blog hop. I’ve put together 5 Easy Last Minute Winter Decorating Vignettes Worth Trying and since it’s a hop, you’ll find lots more ideas below. If you’re popping over from Rachel’s, don’t you just love her style and cozy ideas?! If you’ve never been here before, click on the About Me Page so we can be friends.
5 Easy Last Minute Winter Decorating Vignettes Worth Trying
Each vignette you’ll see today can be done in 1 minute! Okay, maybe 2 minutes if you’re a little particular in the arranging part. 😉 And I’ve put together a short list of accessories you should have on hand to keep your home looking beautiful during the winter blahs.
Winter Accessory List:
Small faux trees or wintery looking faux stems
A large sugar pinecone and a couple of small pinecones
Candles
Deer Antlers
Green, gray, white or black books
A couple of pretty bowls
A lantern or tray
Vignette using vintage silver
To create the simple vignette above add a candle to a bowl (in this case a silver creamer), group together a couple of small pinecones and small faux tree keeping the tallest item in the back. I love it and it finishes out the corner which makes it prettier to look at.
Easy Vignette with handmade pottery
With this vignette, I used a pitcher (or use a bowl or vase) and added faux stems to make it look full. The two small houses are something I made in pottery class but you don’t have to use houses. What about trying 2 small vases. candlesticks, orbs, birds or even a couple of family photos in silver or black frames? Just keep the two extra accessories different heights and keep them smaller than the tallest item (greenery stems) in the back.
Easy table centerpiece with a lantern
Needing a quick winter centerpiece for your table? It doesn’t get much easier than a lantern with an antler, a large sugar pinecone and a mini faux tree. Lanterns come in so handy at times and look good just about anywhere!
Vignette using old books
Books are my second favorite need-to always-have-around-decor-item. If I had large bookshelves they’d be filled with neutral colored books. Stacking wintery colors against a lamp with a small faux tree in a coordinating bowl is perfect for another easy vignette. And guess what?! I made the white bowl in my pottery class too! So fun!
Winter Vignette using books wrapped with ribbon
Last but not least, add a stack of books wrapped in ribbon with a small piece of greenery tucked inside and place it next to a small faux tree. Boom – instant winter decor with minimal effort! Now that’s my kinda decorating. 😉 If you’d like to see the post on How I Transition From Christmas to Winter Decor, click here.
We still have quite a bit of winter left so these 5 Easy Last Minute Winter Decorating Vignettes are worth trying. And you’ll be amazed at all the groupings you can make with the short list of accessory items at the top! Give them a try and let me know how it goes.

Your simple style is right up my alley, Cindy! I love pretty decor that can be put together in minutes – helps when you change things up as much as I do haha! My fave is the vignette with your beautiful handmade houses. They are so sweet and you are so talented my friend. *runs off to look up pottery classes! 😉 Have a great weekend!

LOL, thank you! I love simple and quick. Some days I’m all in with a redesign but those are getting farther apart. I hope you can find a pottery class around you. I have to go 20 minutes to the only one within an hours drive but now that I’m hooked, I’d drive the hour!
Love your vignettes!!!

Oh heck no! -6? I think I’d be a hibernating bear and no one would see me for months! I really cannot even imagine! You should have heard my husband the other day carrying on like it was -6 when in reality it was 33 outside! LOL. Stay safe and warm Debbie and thank you as always for the visit.
Your home looks so beautiful. I love all of the greenery. Blessings to you.

Thank you Renae. I love winter decorating but love easy vignettes even more! 😉
I’m enjoying all your little vignettes and very intrigued with your pottery making skills and the cute houses. I want to make some too! Hope you are staying warm and cozy my friend!

You could take the pottery class too. It’s in Grapevine and called Twisted Clay. I love it! Thanks Michelle
I LOVE all of these ideas! I’m gonna dig out my small silver dishes and add a candle to each one. I’ll be sending my link and photos later today!

I think using silver with candles or greenery has always been my favorite winter decorating idea. Thank you Laura.
Wonderful ideas. I am especially drawn to the first image with just the silver, pine cone and tree.
Author
I don’t care if the silver is tarnished or in pristine condition, I love it all! Especially with greenery and/or candles. There’s just something about it. Thank you Elle!
Each vignette is perfect for winter decor. We are having a real winter here in Virginia and I love it.

That’s exciting Paula. We have barely had any cold days this year so far. I wonder what summer is going to be like?! :0 Thank you for the sweet comment. Stay warm!
I’m loving all of your last-minute vignettes Cindy. It’s all about easy, yet beautiful. Your home is beautifully decorated for the winter season.

Thanks bunches Kim. I’m ready to decorate for spring. Especially after seeing your vibrant beautiful home!
Such great ideas, and love that you’re using live greenery. I need to go back outside and snip some, but I might freeze on the way back to the house. Way too cold around here. OK, how fun to take a pottery class. I LOVE your little houses you created. Adorable, Cindy!!

Thanks bunches Debra. My bestie from high school and I take the pottery class together so it’s the highlight of my week. Plus it’s crazy fun!
All these vignettes are lovely Cindy. I love so many of the same elements you use, silver, books, greenery, candles. You arrange all of it in a lovely manner. XO- MaryJo

That is so sweet of you to say. I really appreciate that. I think we are our own worst critics sometimes. Thanks so much.
You know that picture with the candle in the silver creamer inspired my Christmas bedroom decor; absolutely love that look. All of these ideas are wonderful for cozy winter decor, and I do have all of the items you listed…of course:) If you need a dose of some real winter, you can always visit here!

Oh my goodness Lora, you absolutely made my day! You might think it’s because you said I was wonderful and I inspired your Christmas bedroom decor but actually it’s because you said I could come live with you for a winter. LOLOLOL. I know you only said part of that statement but I’m optimistic you’ll come around. 😉 Hope you have a great week.
cindy what great ideas! Love the silver with the greenery! It’s such a pretty contrast.
Author
Thank you Stacy. I have always loved silver with greenery. Although I think silver and anything would be gorgeous. 🙂
I love them ALL!! Your use of neutral colors mixed with the many textures varying heights is stunning. I LOVE the books…vintage books are so lovely!
Author
Thank you Rachel. You always make me smile with your compliments. I have decided from now on, every white book I see will be mine. Well, if it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. 😉
