In the window. Show off those festive stockings by hanging them for all the world to see. Use Command hooks or a tension rod to avoid damage to the trim.

In the bedroom. While stockings in the bedroom might not be revolutionary, hanging Christmas stockings on the bed may be. Try them at the foot or — if you're brave — on a tall headboard.

On doors. Hang them inside on bedroom doorknobs or outside on your entry door. Use door wreath hangers as sturdy hooks.
Christmas Front Door
On a chalkboard. Display your stockings by hanging them from trim on a large chalkboard, like KeriAnne's chalkboard made from a vintage window. Get creative and have your loved ones write their requests to Santa below their stocking.

On the stairway. Hang them from the banister. These lovely knit stockings were made by hand from old sweaters over at Remodelaholics.

On a ladder. Whether your style is modern or rustic, you can find a ladder for either and everything in between. Haven't been able to find the perfect ladder? Make your own, as Jenn has done here.

On a shutter. Much like a ladder, a shutter, like this one from Clarendon Lane, can be moved anywhere in the house — placed on the floor, leaned against the wall or set on a sideboard. It can also be mounted on the wall vertically or horizontally, as shown here. The photo ledge makes a great substitute for a mantel and can be transitioned quite easily from everyday decor to holiday.

From a branch. Use a natural element, like a branch or a piece of driftwood, in your holiday decor by mounting it on your wall like Jaime has done here. Stockings can be hung using colorful ribbon.

On a sideboard or hutch. Hang a single stocking from the top of a hutch or hang multiple stockings from a sideboard using stocking hooks.

On a string. Yes, you caught me. This is technically hung on a fireplace, but don't let this photo fool you. You could hang this string anywhere — vertically or horizontally on the wall, or along the edge of a cabinet — to add a little holiday cheer. Use clips or clothespins, like Melissa has done here, to hang each stocking.
Just remember: For each of these options, make sure your hangers are mounted correctly and stuffed carefully for safety on Christmas morning.

The summer we spent on Lake Winniepesaukee is represented by the NH pottery heart. The 'house' heart was given the year we first bought our home and the 'stars and stripes' heart commemorates the year my wife became a U.S. citizen.
My daughter was born in 1996 and each year since I have placed a 'Angel' pin on her (Minnie Mouse) stocking. In poor years I seek out the most artsy pin from the discount stores.... and in years where the money is available, I purchase hand made angel pins from talented jewelry artists. Quite a varied and eclectic collection has resulted.
It will be great to have a fireplace setting for my wife's stocking.
This cabinet is the focal centerpiece of our dining area, so it is decorated festively for the season, whatever time of year! We just use the cabinet doorknobs to hang the stockings - it is easy and sweet, and they don't take over the room; just add to the spirit.
