Although I’m having a difficult time wrapping my head around the fact that it’s already Thanksgiving, clearly some of my friends and clients are not. Twinkle lights, holiday figurines, and Christmas trees are already on display in their homes, and, thinking back to last year, I guess I’m not surprised. In 2020, we dined with family over Zoom and forfeited gatherings, so it’s easy to understand why some have a jump-start on their holiday decorating this year.
I’ll admit that I’m an advocate of the “less is more in holiday décor” approach, but I do like to find new ways to display seasonal decorations. So, in case you’re in need of inspiration to deck your halls, I’ve gathered my favorite holiday styling tips:
1. Add organic accessories. According to online marketplace Etsy, searches for “woodland creature ornaments” are up 33 percent this year over the same period last year! Who knew? If a brightly colored palette isn’t your thing, go for an organic look by adding natural elements to your traditional décor. Incorporating items such as plant-patterned menorahs, dried foliage, and driftwood can help add an earthy yet modern vibe to your holiday home.
