Happy Holidays Everyone!

I am so excited to share my 2024 Christmas Home Tour with you! This year, my living and dining room decor was inspired by a beautiful Christmas display my husband loved in a home decor store. I decided to run with his vision, but with my own spin on it. The result? A Magical Cozy Winter Wonderland.

The bedroom and outdoor decor were inspired by one simple ornament and a photo from Raz Imports, which reminded me of a comforter I had fallen in love with last year. My husband wasn’t sure about it then—but more on that later…

The Living Room

What really caught my husband’s eye when we saw that display beyond the color was the wintery, cozy vibe. I knew I had to focus on texture and layering different materials to capture that feeling. Flocked trees and greenery became the base for this look.

This year, we brought our Christmas tree back to its usual spot by the boxed window, draped with fur blankets and velvety throw pillows to add texture and a cozy elegance.

Four main elements make up the look this year: rustic touches, elegant details, pops of color, and, of course, cozy warmth. Let’s dive deeper into each one.

The Rustic Elements

To bring in those rustic vibes, I used:

• Wood
• Burlap & Jute
• Natural Pinecones
• Basketry

I brought in wooden lanterns, placing them on and under the tree, and scattered them throughout the living room. These lanterns, along with a few candlesticks, a dough bowl, planter boxes, and a wooden clock above the fireplace, complete the cozy, rustic feel.

Baskets hold extra blankets, firewood, and throw pillows in the living room adding an additional layer of texture.

I also incorporated burlap and birch ribbon on the trees and wreaths throughout the house to keep things cohesive. And, no Christmas decor would be complete without pinecones—I’ve scattered them just about everywhere.

Elements Of Color

This year, I focused on a color palette of periwinkle, navy, silver, and white. The periwinkle came through in poinsettias, ornaments, and blueberry picks, which I used all over the house, and touches of navy add contrast to the otherwise monochromatic color scheme.

The Elegant Touches

I’ve always loved elegant design, and I wanted to infuse that into this year’s decor. Crystal ornaments on the tree and luxurious fur and velvet fabrics throughout the space helped bring that vision to life.

Warm & Cozy

Candles are everywhere—on the fireplace, coffee table, and even lining the stairs. They add a cozy glow that totally transforms the space, especially at night. Plus, the soft textures of a fur rug, blanket, and velvety pillows contribute to the warm and cozy vibe.

The Fireplace

This year, our fireplace is a little more understated, but still elegant. I swagged a flocked cedar and blueberry garland in an asymmetrical design across the mantel.

Knitted fur stockings with fur trim hang alongside oversized glass hurricanes holding jumbo candles, and silver glass trees add a touch of sparkle. The rustic wooden clock in the background contrasts beautifully with the silk wallpaper and other elegant elements.

The Stairwell

The tree in the stairwell is similar to the main tree, but with a few playful crystal ornaments. Each one represents a holiday movie we watch every year, or a cherished Christmas memory. I replaced the large lanterns from the main tree with smaller metal ones, and once again, included pinecones and blueberries to tie the space together.

The Hallway Table

I had to find a place to display my glass trees and I did that in the hallway this year. I used a mix of clear, silver, and white trees. The clear trees are made from recycled glass adding the green tinge that comes through in the photos. I added some more cedar garland with blueberies to tie it in with the living room.

The Dining Room

This year, I went with a wintery vibe in the dining room. White, silver, and wood tones dominate, with just a touch of periwinkle and gold. The down-swept trees give the room a soft, snow-kissed look, and the deer on the surfaces add to the festive wintery feel. To keep the cozy vibe going, I added the same velvet pillows from the living room window seat and sofa.

The Master Bedroom

This room came together after a series of happy little accidents (As Bob Ross would say LOL). Last year, I fell in love with a duvet cover I saw on QVC, but my husband wasn’t sure about it. I let it go, but then, while shopping holiday sales in July, I saw an ornament (I made some alterations) with a similar color scheme, and something clicked. Then, I found a photo in a Raz Imports holiday catalog that sealed the deal. I was meant to design the room around this duvet!

Though the duvet cover I wanted was sold out, I was lucky enough to find one in a different size on eBay. I made it work, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out!

I repeated the colors and patterns from the duvet cover in wreaths, ribbon on the tree, and added plenty of blueberries and pinecones to tie it back to the living room design. Glass and crystal ornaments added that touch of elegance I love.

The Kitchen

This year, I added a fun touch in honor of my husband’s childhood love of trains. One Christmas, I gifted him this Polar Express Train Set, which became a make-him-laugh Christmas gift. To celebrate, I set up a little village on our breakfast nook table with wooden houses, glass trees, and deer, along with wreaths and greenery for a festive touch.

In the alcove, I displayed more glass trees, with an A-frame house taking center stage, topped with a wreath to complete the scene.

I finished the entire space with a wreath over my kitchen sink and a garland with pinecones and blueberries over the hood. I don’t enjoy cooking, but it sure makes being in that kitchen a lot more fun.

The Outdoors

I decorate the outdoors just like I do inside—thoughtfully and with a cohesive color scheme. This year, I matched the master bedroom’s palette: navy, teal-green, and gold, with just a touch of silver and white. I draped garland along all the railings, framed the front door with it, and even accented our boxed window. The result feels festive and ties the whole look together!
