As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time of year to start thinking about how you’ll bring festive cheer into your home. Whether it’s your first time decorating or looking to refresh your previous years’ decor, there are endless possibilities to make your living spaces feel cozy and bright!

Over the past year, we have loved reading your comments and entertaining you with home tours and design inspiration. If you need any design advice, want to share your home (we love to feature readers’ homes), or just want to drop us a note to say hi, we also love that. We are grateful to every one of you for visiting and spending time on this website.

Last year, we explored the joy of incorporating natural elements into our decor, and this year, we can add on to that with even more creativity.

A great way to begin is by focusing on your living room and dining room, two spaces where family and friends often gather. A flocked tree can be a stunning centerpiece in your living room, especially when paired with twinkle lights and a velvet ribbon that ties into your overall color scheme. If you prefer simple Christmas decorations, a small Christmas tree or even a few sprigs of fresh greenery in a vase can be just as beautiful. Adding pine cones, wood slices, and cozy blankets to your coffee table or family room will enhance the cozy Christmas atmosphere.

Don’t forget about your front door and front porch! These areas are the first thing guests see, so make them count. Fresh greenery and string lights can transform your front porch into a welcoming holiday entrance. A small shop or even a thrift store can be a treasure trove for unique decorations that add personality to your decor.

When it comes to your dining room, wrapping paper can be used creatively as part of your table setting. A simple way to tie everything together is by matching your wrapping paper to the color scheme of your Christmas lights and other decorations. This cohesive look can make your dining room feel like a magical extension of the holiday season.
