Whether it’s an elegant bowl of oranges pierced with cloves against a rich, dark backdrop—or a fluffy flocked tree beside a pink velvet settee—the ingredients for perfect Christmas décor all come down to personal taste and what harmonizes with your home.

Dark and moody, this Victorian look will have even Ebeneezer Scrooge asking for an invite and these brass candlesticks add the perfect touch of classic grace.

Sherwin-Williams Inkwell is one of our favorites SW6992
Treasure hunt for frames at local thrift and antique shops. The more variety the better for adding a truly gorgeous gallery wall.

Wreaths on the door and top of each planter create an instantly inviting and festive look at your entry. And with the realism of the faux pine options now, you can set the stage earlier without worry of shedding needles!

I love blending fresh natural touches with faux greens and vintage treasures. With so many people decorating earlier (and longer!) these days, a beautifully realistic faux fir tree often checks all the boxes—long-lasting, full, and delightfully needle-free.

But if your family loves the magic of decorating on Christmas Eve, nothing replaces the charm of a real tree. A trip to the lot, steaming hot chocolate in hand, dressing the tree just in time for Santa, and gathering with loved ones… it’s the kind of moment holiday movies are built on.


Posh, vintage and bold, a key to creating the perfect holiday look is following your style. Glitzy and glam with sparkling ornaments and plush fabrics create warmth and retro wow factor. If you are thinking of painting a wall or a room pink; these are four of our favorite Sherwin-Williams paint colors. #SWColorLove



There’s something about Christmas décor in the stillness of daylight that feels timeless. The branches of a fresh or faux fir settle into their shape. Ribbons relax into gentle cascades. A bowl of clove-studded oranges perfumes the room. It’s a moment where the beauty of the season simply breathes.
This is the magic of holiday decorating—not just the sparkle of strings of lights at night, but the quiet morning scenes when you can feel your home wrapped in its own kind of warmth.
So, hang a wreath on your door and feel the welcome of winter and the sanctuary of home.
