Part III
In the final installment of our Holiday Hosting Guide, celebrate the season with holiday details that blend timeless elegance with modern style. From thoughtfully layered textures to intentional color palettes, these festive looks bring a refined touch to every corner of your home. It’s holiday decorating, elevated; where form meets function, and every detail feels considered.


Tip 1 - Choose a Color Palette
Stick to two or three complementary colors (classic red & green, winter whites & metallics, or soft neutrals & forest greens) to keep things cohesive and intentional.

Tip 2: Layer with Texture
Incorporate cozy textures. Knit throws, faux fur pillows, and velvet ribbons to add depth and warmth.

Tip 3: Bring In Nature
Fresh greenery, pinecones, citrus garlands, and dried florals add an organic touch and soften more traditional elements.

Tip 4: Light It Up
Candles - whether taper, votive, or lanterns. Add a soft, inviting glow that instantly sets a festive mood.

Tip 5: Style Your Surfaces
Dress up coffee tables, buffets, and sideboards with holiday vignettes.
Think: a tray with ornaments, greenery, and a scented candle.

Tip 6: Elevate Your Entryway
First impressions count. A wreath, lanterns, or seasonal doormat can make your guests feel festive from the moment they arrive.

Tip 7: Keep It Balanced
Edit as you go. Sometimes, removing one item allows everything else to shine.
