For those of us who eagerly embrace holiday decorating, the way we live — the spaces we inhabit and the environments we cultivate — can shape our choices in ways that are as unique as the traditions themselves. Whether it’s a modern urban apartment, a cozy country cottage, or sprawling family home, our surroundings naturally influence how we bring the season to life. How and where we decorate becomes a reflection of not just the holidays, but of who we are and how we celebrate them.
With that in mind, we’ve curated a few fresh ideas to help bring a little extra joy to your holiday season, no matter the size of your space.

silver linings
Chances are, many of us have a collection of silver, crystal, or beautiful glassware tucked away — pieces we rarely use but hold onto for special occasions. Well, this season, it’s time to bring them out of hiding. These elegant vessels make the perfect containers for lush greenery, whether real or faux. Add a few festive touches like seasonal fruit or sprigs of holly, and you’ll have a stunning, easy-to-create display that adds instant charm to your home. It's the little details that make all the difference, after all.

put a bow on it
Everyday items become instantly elevated with the simple addition of a beautiful spool of ribbon. Whether you’re tying it around candles, adorning greenery, or even using it to hang a favorite picture frame, a well-placed bow adds a touch of sophistication and grandeur to any space. Design tip: For an extra luxe feel, choose double-sided ribbon in rich fabrics like velvet or satin.
And of course, no holiday display is complete without the soft glow of candles to tie it all together.
