It seems like lots of people are obsessed with the Grinch these days.

If making a garland sounds like too much work, then putting some red, white and green mini Christmas trees on your mantel may be just the thing.

You get the Christmas-y Grinch look and it only takes a couple of minutes to set up.

Just try to get a few different heights to make them look more natural.

If you don’t have a TV above your fireplace, then a wreath is a great way to add some festive spirit to the space.

This DIY Grinch wreath only takes about 15 minutes to make but looks very Christmas-y hanging above the fireplace. (It also works on the front door if it is covered).

9 | Red and white stockings

Of course, if you’re going to be putting up a Grinch tree and decorating the mantel, then you’ll probably want some matching stockings to hang above the fireplace.

I hung up some red and white ones. They aren’t specific to the Grinch but the pom poms have the same vibe and they go with the color scheme.

You can find these and other similar options that aren’t very expensive on Amazon:

  • WLVYSY Personalized Christmas Stockings Set of 6,Christmas Stockings Bulk 6 Packs,18 * 12 Inch Red Stockings Christmas,Christmas Decorations for Family Holiday Party Decor

11 | Grinch cushion covers

If you’re looking to integrate How the Grinch Stole Christmas into your home decor, then you’re in luck.

There are all kinds of cushions and cushion covers that are inexpensive and will add a festive feel to your house.

If you’re buying them online, pay attention to the descriptions.

Some of products will include the pillow and some will only be the covers.

If it’s the latter, you’ll need to provide the cushion inserts. But the covers are usually less expensive. So they will save you money over time, since you can re-use the inserts with different covers for all the seasons.

Here are some of my favorites:

  • Jyumini Christmas Pillow Covers 18×18 inch Set of 4 for Decorations Red Buffalo Plaid Pillows Xmas Cushion Case Winter Holiday Merry Throw Farmhouse Decor Couch
  • Deztibos Christmas Pillowcase Merry Xmas Bed Body Pillow Covers Soft Backrest Cushion Farmhouse Pillow Protector Covers with Zipper Closure for Bedroom 17x17inch,four-piece pillow set

12 | Grinch pictures

To really get into the festive spirit, hang some Grinch-inspired pictures for the holidays.

I made these easy printable silhouette pictures of Cindy Lou Who, Max the dog, the Grinch and a Whoville Christmas tree.

Stapling up some red and white striped wrapping paper behind them really made them stand out.

But you can also buy inexpensive prints (like these) and frame them however you want.

13 | Table Linens

Grinch-inspired decor is also available for your holiday table.

You can get runners and tablecloths that are obviously related to the Dr. Seuss story with the Grinch face on them. Or that say “Merry Grinchmas”.

Or go for a subtler approach by choosing table linens in lime green, red and white that match the color scheme, without actually having the Grinch on them.

Here are some options:

  • Christmas Table Runner Christmas Table Runner Christmas Tablecover New Year Winter Xmas Decor Merry Christmas Decorations for Home Party Table
  • Green Christmas Table Runner Merry Christmas Tablecloth Xmas Winter Holiday Home Kitchen Dining Room Table Decorations 13×72 Inch
  • Christmas Table Runner 13×72 Inch Christmas Xmas Winter Holiday Decorations and Supplies for Home Kitchen Dining Room Table Decor
  • Waenerec Christmas Table Runner Black 14 x 72 Inch Rustic Holiday Farmhouse Merry Christmas Theme Elf Table Cloth for Xmas Party Dining Table Decorations
  • lime green sequin table runner

14 | Tea Towels

Why stop in the dining room when you can have the Grinch in your kitchen?

Like table linens, you can find Grinch-specific tea towels or just replicate the color scheme.

These are some of my favorites:

  • Urban Villa Kitchen Towels Waffle Stripes Dish Towels for Kitchen Leaf Green Set of 6 Kitchen Towels Highly Absorbent Cotton Over Sized 20X30 in with Mitered Corners Kitchen Hand Tea Towels
  • T-Fal Solid & Checked Parquet Kitchen Towels: Highly Absorbent, Super Soft Long Lasting – 100% Cotton, 16″x26″ Dish Towels for Cleaning & Drying Dishes, Pans, Glassware, or Countertops, (2-Pack), Red
  • T-Fal Solid & Checked Parquet Kitchen Towels: Highly Absorbent, Super Soft Long Lasting – 100% Cotton, 16″x26″ Dish Towels for Cleaning & Drying Dishes, Pans, Glassware, or Countertops, 2-Pack, Green

15 | Grinch kitchen mat

Adding a mat on the floor in front of the sink is another easy way to add some Grinch decorations to your home.

I actually used one that is intended to be a front door mat.

It has a rubber back so it won’t slide and it’s really easy to clean. So you don’t have to worry about spills.

They are available in lots of different Grinch designs so you can choose the one you like. Here are some options:

  • HunnmingRe Lime Green Furry Christmas Mat with Red Heart Pattern Green Rugs for Bedroom Living Room Decor, Washable Soft Fuzzy Rug, 16.9 x 28.7 Inch

16 | Grinch Outdoor Decorations

The Grinch decor doesn’t have to stop inside the house. There are all kinds of options for your front yard, too!

The Grinch stealing lights is always a popular option. I combined him with green string lights on the bushes and red flood lights.

But there are lots of other ways to add the Grinch to your outdoor display.
