The holidays always have a way of making us want to cozy up our homes a little more. But between decorating trees, wrapping gifts, baking cookies, and hosting family gatherings, sometimes the thought of pulling out bins of traditional holiday décor can feel overwhelming.
That’s exactly why we love removable Christmas wall decals.
They’re festive, easy to install, renter-friendly, and one of the simplest ways to transform your home for the season without committing to permanent décor or dealing with messy glitter-covered wreaths.
For this holiday setup, we used our Christmas Holly Wall Decals to create a beautiful wreath-inspired installation around a round mirror, instantly turning a simple entryway into a warm and welcoming Christmas moment.
Whether you’re decorating an apartment, condo, entryway, staircase, playroom, or hallway, peel and stick holiday wall decals make it easy to add seasonal charm in just a few simple steps.
Why Removable Christmas Wall Decals Are Perfect for the Holidays
One of the biggest challenges with holiday decorating is finding pieces that feel festive without creating extra clutter or storage headaches afterward.
That’s what makes removable wall decals such an easy solution.
Unlike bulky holiday décor, peel and stick Christmas decals:
- Remove easily after the holidays
- Don’t damage walls when properly removed
- Require very little storage space
- Can be arranged completely custom
- Work beautifully in small spaces and rentals
- Create a high-end holiday look without permanent commitment
They’re especially perfect for modern homes where minimal, elevated holiday decorating feels more intentional and clean.
How to Create a Christmas Wreath Using Wall Decals
Instead of hanging a traditional wreath, we used removable holly decals to create a custom wreath shape directly on the wall around a round mirror.
The finished look feels soft, organic, festive, and completely unique.
Step 1: Choose Your Space
One of the easiest ways to create a statement holiday moment is by building your wreath around an existing focal point.
For this installation, we wrapped the decals around a round mirror, but this idea also works beautifully around:
- Windows
- Entryway mirrors
- Staircase walls
- Console tables
- Mantels
- Bedroom mirrors
- Dining room accents
The key is starting with a smooth, clean surface.
Step 2: Cut Around Your Decals
To create a more natural-looking wreath shape, carefully cut around the holly sprigs and berry clusters before installation.
This gives you more flexibility during placement and helps the arrangement feel layered and organic instead of overly uniform.
One of the biggest advantages of removable wall decals is that the layout can be fully customized to your space.
Step 3: Plan Your Layout First
Before peeling the backing off, use painter’s tape to temporarily position your decals around the mirror.
This allows you to:
- Experiment with spacing
- Layer greenery naturally
- Balance berries throughout the wreath
- Adjust fullness depending on your style
Some homeowners prefer a fuller, lush wreath while others love a more minimal Scandinavian-inspired look.
Both work beautifully.
Step 4: Apply the Decals
Once you’re happy with the arrangement, begin peeling the adhesive backing and applying the decals directly to the wall.
Smooth out bubbles using a squeegee or credit card as you go.
Because the decals are removable, you can gently reposition pieces during installation if needed.
Step 5: Remove the Transfer Layer
After each piece is secured to the wall, carefully peel away the front transfer layer to reveal the final wreath design underneath.
The result is a custom Christmas installation that looks beautifully styled without the mess of traditional greenery.
Why This Works So Well for Canadian Homes
Holiday decorating in Canada often starts early as the weather cools down and homes naturally become more cozy and layered for the season.
Removable Christmas wall decals are perfect for:
- Condos
- Apartments
- Rental homes
- Small entryways
- Modern minimalist spaces
- Families wanting easy cleanup after the holidays
And because they store flat, they’re much easier to tuck away after Christmas than oversized seasonal décor bins.
Modern Holiday Decorating Tips
If you want your Christmas décor to feel elevated and timeless instead of overly themed, try pairing your decals with:
- Natural wood accents
- Soft greenery
- Warm white lighting
- Matte black décor
- Neutral textiles
- Minimal holiday styling
The combination creates a softer, more modern holiday aesthetic that feels cozy without feeling cluttered.
