Here are some of my favorite St. Patrick's Day decor ideas to help inspire your creativity.
Balloon Arch
Create a festive entrance with a balloon arch in shades of green, gold, and white. Add shamrock-shaped balloons and twinkle lights for extra charm. This makes a perfect photo backdrop for guests!
I also love a rainbow themed balloon arch. Choose balloons that are the color of the rainbow and white balloons for the clouds.
Pot Of Gold Centerpieces
Fill a small black pot with gold-wrapped chocolates or golden confetti to create an eye-catching centerpiece. Add some green flowers or shamrocks for extra flair.
Shamrock Garland
Make a DIY shamrock garland by cutting out shamrock shapes from green felt or cardstock and stringing them together. Hang it over your fireplace, entryway, or party table.
Table Runner
A beautiful table runner can add color and festive feelings to your house with minimal effort. Try adding some gold or green place settings for a little something extra.
Fairy Lights
Fairy lights add a little magic to tables, banisters, doorways, and more, instantly creating a warm and festive glow for St. Patrick’s Day. Drape twinkling green string lights along your fireplace mantel, wrap them around potted plants, or weave them through a shamrock garland for a whimsical touch.
Leprechaun
Leprechaun figurines are a fun and whimsical way to add a touch of Irish charm to your St. Patrick’s Day decor! Whether you place them on a fireplace mantel, tiered tray, or entryway table, these little guys bring playful mischief and festive spirit to any space.
Pair them with gold coins, shamrock garlands, and twinkling fairy lights for a magical holiday display. From classic ceramic leprechauns to cute plush versions, they’re the perfect addition to your St. Patrick’s Day decorations!
Chalkboard
A chalkboard sign is a fun and versatile way to add St. Patrick’s Day charm to your home decor! Write a festive message like “Kiss Me, I’m Irish”, “Lucky & Blessed”, or an Irish blessing, then decorate it with hand-drawn shamrocks, rainbows, or gold coins.
Rainbow Streamers
Rainbow streamers are a bright and cheerful way to bring St. Patrick’s Day magic into your home! Drape them across doorways, windows, or party tables to create a festive backdrop, or hang them from the ceiling to mimic a rainbow leading to a pot of gold.
St. Patrick's Day Bedroom
Shamrock pillows and bed sheets are a cozy and festive way to bring St. Patrick’s Day spirit into your home! Swap out everyday bedding for green and white shamrock-patterned sheets or add a few plush shamrock throw pillows to your couch, bed, or accent chairs
St. Patrick's Day Bar Cart
A St. Patrick’s Day-themed bar cart is a stylish and fun way to bring holiday cheer into your home! Decorate it with green and gold accents, shamrock garlands, and a festive sign like “Sláinte!” to set the mood. Stock it with Irish whiskey, green cocktails, or themed glassware, and add a small pot of gold coins for an extra lucky touch.
Whether you're hosting a party or just enjoying a festive drink, a decorated bar cart makes for a perfect conversation piece and adds a touch of Irish charm to your space!
Kitchen
A tiered display shelf in the kitchen is a perfect way to add a festive St. Patrick’s Day touch while keeping things organized and stylish! Decorate it with green mugs, shamrock plates, and mini leprechaun figurines for a charming holiday setup.
Add small accents like gold coins, a tiny pot of gold, or a festive sign to bring extra cheer. Whether it’s used for a coffee station, snack display, or simple decor, a tiered shelf makes it easy to celebrate the season without taking up too much space.
Irish Flags And Bunting
Irish bunting is a simple yet festive way to bring St. Patrick’s Day charm into your home! Hang it across fireplace mantels, kitchen windows, doorways, or outdoor patios to add a cheerful touch of green, white, and orange. Whether you choose fabric bunting for a classic look or paper bunting for an easy DIY option, it instantly creates a fun and festive atmosphere. Pair it with shamrock garlands, fairy lights, or gold accents to complete your holiday decor and celebrate in true Irish style!
Wreath
A St. Patrick’s Day wreath is a beautiful way to welcome guests and add a touch of Irish charm to your home! Hang a festive wreath on your front door, above a mantel, or in a hallway to instantly brighten up your space. Decorate it with lush green shamrocks, gold ribbons, mini leprechaun hats, or even a 'Lucky' sign for extra holiday flair. Whether you go for a rustic burlap design, a floral arrangement, or a glittery green creation, a St. Patrick’s Day wreath is a simple yet eye-catching way to celebrate the season!
Try hanging a wreath on your bedroom door for some fun indoor decor.
Leprechaun Trap
Speaking of those little mischievous leprechauns, try creating a colorful trap with your kids that you can use as a display on a table or kitchen counter. This is a fun way to get your kids involved.
Green Tablescapes
Green table place settings are a simple yet elegant way to bring St. Patrick’s Day charm to your dining table! Use green plates, gold-rimmed glassware, and shamrock-patterned napkins to create a festive and stylish look. Add gold utensils or small decorative accents like mini pots of gold or clover-shaped place cards for extra flair.
