Kyle Richards Christmas: 16 Tree in Every Room Ideas From the Kitchen to the Bedroom
Kyle Richards Christmas decorating starts early and goes big. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has said her tree is usually up by November 1, and that her family has a Christmas tree in every room. In a holiday home tour video she showed off a winter wonderland look with a life size Santa, a giant nutcracker and trees tucked all over the house. You do not need a Beverly Hills budget to copy the idea. A few small trees, some thrifted ornaments and a little Mod Podge can bring that same cozy feeling to every corner of your home. Here are 16 easy ideas inspired by her style, room by room, so your own Kyle Richards Christmas look comes together in a single weekend..
The Kyle Richards Christmas Idea: A Tree in Every Room
This is the heart of the look. Instead of one big tree in the living room, you spread several smaller trees through the house. One sits on the kitchen counter, one stands by the dining window and one waits at the end of the hall in the bedroom. Keep the ornaments in the same silver and gold family so every room feels connected. Start with two or three trees this year and add more next year.

You will need: Three small artificial or potted trees (60 to 120 cm), silver and gold baubles, a roll of wide ribbon, tree stands or pots.
How to make it: Pick the rooms you use most. Set each tree where it is seen from a doorway. Use one ornament color story for all of them. Fill the big trees first, then share the leftovers with the small ones.
Cookie Cutter Ornaments for the Kitchen Tree
The kitchen tree is the most fun to decorate because the ornaments are already in your drawer. Metal cookie cutters in star, tree and snowflake shapes look charming hanging from small branches. Tie them on with red and white baker’s twine and add a few wooden spoons with ribbon bows. It costs almost nothing and looks like it came from a country store. When baking day comes, just pull one off and use it. See more ideas in our cookie cutter Christmas crafts post.

A Bedroom Tree for Your Kyle Richards Christmas
A small tree in the bedroom makes early mornings feel like a holiday. Place it near the window beside the bed so you see it the moment you wake up. Keep the decorations soft and simple, with silver and white ornaments and a chunky knit throw on the bed. A woven basket hides the stand and adds warm texture. This is one of the easiest Kyle Richards Christmas touches to copy. Browse our Christmas bedroom decor post for more cozy ideas.

A Live Potted Pine for the Guest Room
Guests feel truly welcome when their room has its own little tree. A small live pine in a pot is perfect for a dresser or nightstand.

A Tiny Pine on the Bathroom Vanity
The bathroom is the room most people forget, and that is exactly why a tree there feels so special. A small potted pine fits right on the vanity.

A Paper Tree for the Home Office Desk
A real tree can crowd a work desk, so try a paper one instead. Two tree shapes cut from heavy cardstock slide together at the middle and stand up on their own. They take up almost no space and bring a little Kyle Richards Christmas cheer to a busy desk. Brush the paper with Mod Podge first to make it stronger and give it a soft sheen. Make a few in different sizes for a small forest. Our DIY desk organizers post has more ways to cheer up a workspace.

Clothespin Stars for the Laundry Room
Even the laundry room can join the fun. String a ribbon across a shelf or a small tree and use wooden clothespins to hang fabric stars and little cards. It fits the room perfectly and costs almost nothing. Red stars with white dots and stripes look cheerful against plain walls. Write holiday notes or a to do list on the cards. You can find dozens of other uses in our clothespin crafts post.

Felt Ornaments for the Kids’ Room Tree
Children love having a tree of their own, and felt ornaments are safe for little hands. A soft snowman with a knit scarf and button eyes looks sweet on a small pine in a bedroom corner. Let the kids help make some of the ornaments so the tree feels like theirs. Felt does not break, so they can redecorate it as many times as they like. For more simple projects, see our felt Christmas crafts post.

A Kyle Richards Christmas Welcome in the Foyer

Carry the Silver Into the Dining Room
A tree in every room works best when the rooms talk to each other. In the dining room, repeat the silver and red from your trees on the table.

Silver and White Baubles Like Her Living Room Tree
Her main tree has been decorated in silver and white ornaments, and it is a look that always feels elegant. Mix shiny, matte and striped baubles in just those two colors so the tree looks layered, not flat. Add a few glittery birds and a silver bead garland for movement.

The Kyle Richards Christmas Winter Wonderland
Her holiday tour showed a winter wonderland theme, and a flocked tree is the fastest way to get there. The snowy branches look beautiful with nothing but silver and white baubles. Add a white faux fur tree skirt, silver wrapped gifts and white cushions on the sofa. Everything stays light and bright, even on gray winter days. This is the big tree that ties your Kyle Richards Christmas together. Learn how to flock your own in our flocked Christmas tree post.

White Poinsettias for a Softer Tree
If gold feels too bold, try white poinsettias instead. Their creamy petals look soft and fresh against dark green branches. Pair them with plain white baubles and you get a calm, classic tree that suits a bedroom or a reading nook. Faux white poinsettias are easy to find after Thanksgiving and last for years. Put one big flower near the top and smaller ones lower down. It is a gentle twist on the Kyle Richards Christmas look. See more ideas in our white Christmas decor post.

A Big Silver Star on Top
Her tall tree has been finished with a classic star on top, and nothing beats it. A big metal star catches the daylight and makes even a simple tree look finished. Choose silver for a winter wonderland tree or gold for a warmer look. On the small trees around the house, use mini stars so every room has its own topper.

Use simple patterned papers and satin ribbon for a neat finish. It turns every tree into a complete scene and makes the house feel planned. Kids will love hunting for gifts in every room.
