Silhouetted with a forest of trees, a metallic gold collar wraps around the festive tree in the sitting room. To hide the bottom of a faux tree and add major texture, stuff the collar with fluffy fake snow. Winter wonderland, indeed.

For the Bibliophile

Pulling inspiration from the book-lined sitting room, the tree is garnished with pages, as well as ornaments in contemporary shades of red and green. A garland of metallic geometric ornaments wraps around the tree for a touch of glam, and sprigs of pinecones and bunny tail grass add natural texture.

Double the Holiday Decor

Scout out enchanting places to display wreathes for the Christmas season. Dual boxwood wreathes hang between the picturesque windows, adding yuletide cheer without distracting from the view. Bring in cable knit pillows to deliver extra coziness to your sofa during the cooler months.

Change With the Seasons

A large display bowl is a quick and easy way to incorporate different seasons and holidays into your decor. For Christmas, fill it with an arrangement of glass ornaments (or shatterproof ones, if you have kiddos running around). A vase of bunny tail grass echoes the decorations used in the tree.

Tucked away in the corner of the room is a sweet display that can stay up all winter. Greenery, bottlebrush trees and a pair of woodland owls adorn the side table.

Work With Your Scale

Look for the right size tree for your space. A skinny Christmas tree fits neatly in the narrow space left in the sitting room.

Good Tidings of Treats

Turn a section of your kitchen countertop into a delicious dessert bar. A store-bought cake is instantly ready for the season with adorable ceramic deer toppers, and a petite frosted tree adds the just-right touch of greenery.

Drink Up

And, of course, don't forget the cocktails. Cranberries and cinnamon sticks are the quintessential garnishes for any holiday drink.

Create Wintery Vignettes

Faux greenery has come a long way since our grandmother's and mother's days. Fill vases with natural-looking branches, and then finish out the look with some of your favorite holiday or winter pieces. Here, a marble lazy Susan acts as the base of the design so that you can easily move it out of the way when you need more counterspace.
