The holidays are a time for reuniting with rekindling old conversations and making new cherished memories with the family. You want your family to feel inspired by an elegant, beautiful, and heartfelt atmosphere. Additionally, you want a photo-worthy gathering space that will capture the beauty of the season as you look back on your photos.
To make this year’s holiday table, dining room, and any other gathering space unforgettably beautiful, try these tips:
1. Don’t Skip the Greenery
Whether it be Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, or Christmas, adding live plants to your centerpieces and around the room add a chic and lively touch. This year, skip the poinsettia. Instead, opt for live rosemary, thyme, or Christmas cactus. I happen to have my eye on a few potted citrus trees decorated to the tee this year.
2. Use a New Color Palette
For a fresh take on the holiday season, skip the oranges, reds, and yellows for Turkey Day and the reds and greens or blue and silvers for other holidays. Instead, consider all white or white with accents in soft blue, green, pink, or coral. Not only will these colors make your photos more dynamic, but they will become a conversation starter–maybe even a new tradition.
3. Go Gold
If you want a more classic but modern take on the holidays, aim for a white with gold holiday table. You can even add in some silver accents for a bit more depth. For a complete golden spread, don’t forget to invest in gold cutlery, chargers, and white and gold plates.
4. Decorate with Memories
Make your holiday table and other interior spaces more personal and add unparalleled sentiment by adding keepsakes and photos into your decor. These can include your kids’ favorite childhood toys, tree decorations, and past holidays’ photos.
5. Go for a More Sophisticated Display
Often when we think of the holidays, the decor options available at stores can be somewhat childish (I’m talking to you, Frosty). Instead of the cartoon-eyed reindeer, opt for wooden elements with dried oranges, and evergreen accents. Use a candelabra for lighting and a few tea lights here and there.
Don’t shy away from illuminating your space with white lights throughout your centerpiece, on the mantle, and anywhere else you could add a little more glow.
