My 2017 Holiday Decor Guide

There's a fine line between holiday decorating and looking like your entire house took advantage of a North Pole "everything must go so you bought it all" sale. I'm looking at you, Great Christmas Light Fight (or whatever that show is called). I think my design aesthetic is fairly easy to understand: less is more and quality is far more important than most things. It's no surprise that all of my holiday decor is minimal but chic (and a little bit trendy). That's not to say I don't love all of parents 1970s/1980s decorations (including the horrifying light up Santa head), but at my own house it's a little more...understated. I like the idea of mixing certain tones (particularly white and silver) with pops of red rather than flat-out going red and green all over. Sometimes it's just too much.

I love copper, rose gold, gold, and silver mixed with white. Those tones, while not very "Christmassy," are gorgeous and wintery. I love the idea of a simple white tree with these champagne colored bulbs. It's pretty much my dream tree scenario right now although my collection of childhood ornaments are doing just fine for the moment. That's probably why I couldn't resist that little hedgehog ornament! I love this Santa serving tray from Target because it reminds me of the decorations we used to use when we were kids. The vintage looking Santa just sent me back in time the moment I saw it. But the rest of the stuff really is a mixture of beautiful, shiny things I am obsessed with, and think any home needs (okay fine. I mean my home mostly) this holiday season.
