With time til Christmas, you can start with a smaller section of the home and then continue to decorate so you aren't overwhelmed with bringing out all the Christmas stuff at once! Try starting with festive holiday pillows that set the tone and of course add a cozy feel to your favorite spaces. If you aren't really into swapping pillows or you just want to add more, bring in a large holiday sign or "Merry Christmas" sign that will spread the spirit of the holidays all throughout your home. We love this addition because you can simply just add it to your mantel decor or entryway console tables without having to update much else. There's SOOOO much you can do with holiday decor and if you haven't noticed already, our Instagram feed is flooded with beautiful holiday spaces that come straight from our amazing customers. We are always blown away with how incredibly talented all of our customers are. We've seen so many amazing ideas, like adding wooden handmade ornaments to your tree, adding letters to Santa post box to your entryway decor, or even setting the table with beautiful seasonal dinnerware.

Everything holiday just puts a smile on our faces and we don't know about you, but we always look forward to the Christmas decorating season. It's amazing that even simple all year items can be transformed into a winter wonderland look like this floating shelf made with corbels used in the photo below! It ties in so effortlessly and truly brings the whole look together. So don't think that everyday items can't be included in your holiday styling....they really can be the finishing touch to a look.
