Transforming Your Home: A Seamless Seasonal Celebration

As we head into the rush of holiday season, decor can feel like just another added stress - even if you aspire to have a festive and beautiful home for the season. The period between late November and the heart of winter offers a magical opportunity to create a space that's both elegant and festive, celebrating the season's spirit of joy and connection.

Color Palette Progression

Consider a color palette that can carry you through the full holiday season. Start in November with warm golds and deep evergreen. In December, you can layer in deep reds. 

If silver is more your jam, you can start with a lighter green and layer in shimmery blues as you move into December. 

Use Crystal and Cut Glass for sparkle

Whether you’re breaking out some treasured heirlooms, thrifting or buying new, using crystal and cut glass for holiday displays can transition easily from November through December and January. Well-placed lighting can add that much needed shimmer, and ribbons are an easy switch as your color palette progresses. Our favorite thing about this idea is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make an impressive and beautiful display that transitions through the season. 

Lighting: The Key to Transformation

Lighting can dramatically shift the mood of your space:

• Replace amber candles with white and silver pillar candles
• Add string lights with a soft, cool-toned glow
• Incorporate lanterns with LED candles
• Use metallic candle holders to create sparkle

Scent Strategy

An often overlooked element of decorating - don’t forget how much scent can play a role in your decor. Those warm, inviting aromas can instantly transport you to cozy memories. It’s also an idea that doesn’t have to be expensive. Our favorite method is to use essential oils. Some of our most complimented blends include: 

• Cinnamon + Orange
• Pine + Vanilla
• Clove + Nutmeg

Gradual Transformation

The most elegant transitions happen slowly. Don't feel pressured to change everything at once. Start with small updates and let your space evolve naturally.

Your home should tell the story of the season—a tale of warmth, joy, and connection that unfolds with each carefully chosen detail. 

Happy decorating!
