This holiday decorated home began with a renovation for a young family who commissioned interior design studio Katie Grace Designs for the project thats located in Little Rock, Arkansas. The project began with a few updates that included paint, tile, finishes and new furnishings, which translated into a contemporary and playful home. Personalization was at the forefront of the design process, with clean, modern lines mixed with natural elements. Full scale renovations were undertaken in a couple of areas, most notably the kitchen. The space was transformed into a more contemporary and airy palette to match the rest of the home from its original darker finishes. Other spaces were also given a fresh update, such as the stair railing, which now has a more tailored appeal with its fretwork installation. Since the railing was viewed from so many different vantage points, changing it out created a more cohesive feel to the space.

Another space that was given a makeover was the master bedroom, which the homeowners wished to transform into their personal oasis. The space is now a sea of calm in a serene, neutral color palette. Since the other spaces seem to have a pop of color somewhere in them, this space was to be more romantic and elegant. The furnishings and decor pieces throughout were a mix of sources from the internet to flea markets and yard sales to local and chain stores. Earthy pieces are mixed with soft upholsteries, modern yet still warm and comfortable due to the mix of materials.

The first thing to be decorated in the home was the tree, so that the children could enjoy it and so they could enjoy their tradition of putting up the infamous Elf on the Shelf to watch over them. The homeowners love white decorations and mixing in fresh greenery…. making it feel merry and bright!

What We Love: The whimsical and bright holiday decor is very festive and fun throughout…but our favorite is the chalkboard, so adorable for the children…which is what Christmas is all about, bringing in the holiday magic! We hope you are enjoying your holiday decorated homes and have enjoyed looking and taking inspiration from others. Enjoy spending time with loved ones and may your Christmas be merry and bright!

The holiday decor scheme around the home has a slightly whimsical and lighthearted vibe and this playroom designed for the children is no exception. The chalkboard walls have been creatively designed by local artist Amanda Kelly, creating a playful backdrop for a space where the two children love to read their Christmas stories, do holiday crafting and await the arrival of Santa Claus!
