Christmas Berries and Branches

Create a classic Christmas look with a festive mix of greenery, berries, and timeless accents.

Start with lush garlands or wreaths and weave in vibrant red berries for a pop of color. Add a touch of classic color with red, white, and green ornaments scattered throughout your decor.

A cozy plaid throw or ribbon ties it all together, while reindeer figurines bring a whimsical touch.

Whether it’s on your tree, mantle, or tabletop, this mix of natural and traditional elements is sure to make your home feel warm and cozy!

Winter Wonderland

Transform your home into a serene and sparkling Winter Wonderland!

Start with a flocked Christmas tree (yes, it can snow in the house!), then layer on blue, white, and silver ornaments for an icy, elegant look.

Drape blue velvet ribbon around the tree or weave it through garlands to add a touch of luxe. Accent your decor with silver-toned accessories that catch the light, creating a frosty glow.

This palette is perfect for bringing a peaceful, wintry feel to your holiday home—like stepping into a dreamy snow-covered landscape without leaving your living room!

Merry and Bright

Bring a burst of color and sparkle to your holiday decor with a playful mix of festive accents.

Start with bright, colorful ornaments that pop against your tree or garlands, and add shimmering glass trees for a modern twist.

A cheerful tabletop holiday village becomes the centerpiece of your display, radiating joy and nostalgia. With a touch of glitter and plenty of vibrant hues, this look is all about celebrating the season with energy and fun!

Nostalgic Decor that Warms the Heart

Remember those magical Christmas mornings when the tree sparkled, stockings hung perfectly on the mantle, and everything felt warm and cozy?

Bring those memories back to life with nostalgic decor! Think Santa mugs filled with hot cocoa, felt ornaments like the ones Grandma used to make, and an alpine candle spinner casting dancing light across the room.

Add a plaid throw blanket and festive pillows to your sofa for that perfect curl-up-with-a-movie vibe. Don’t forget the charm of a metal bell stocking holder—it’s practical and so perfectly old-school.

Let your holiday style tell a story, one memory at a time!
