Holiday Interior Décor Guide

The holiday season is upon us, and there's no better way to embrace the magic of Christmas than by transforming the inside of your home into a festive retreat. From twinkling lights to cozy accents, let's dive into some timeless and creative ideas to infuse your living spaces with the warmth and joy of the season.

We have 3 new holiday themes to keep you cozy and warm this holiday season.

Start with a Festive Foundation:

Begin by adding a touch of Christmas to the core elements of your home. Swap out regular cushion covers for festive ones and drape your sofas with cozy holiday-themed throws. Consider using reds, greens, and whites to create a cohesive and festive color palette. Designate a corner of your home as a cozy Christmas nook. Add plush pillows, a soft blanket, and perhaps a small, decorated tree or a basket of wrapped gifts. This inviting space becomes a perfect spot for reading holiday stories or sipping cocoa by the fire.

Adorn Your Tree with Care:

The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of holiday decorating. Whether you prefer a real tree with that delightful scent or an artificial one that lasts all season, the key is in the decorations. Mix and match ornaments, add strands of lights, and top it off with a star or an angel. Our new holiday themes can help bring all your favorite elements together in one cohesive look. Don't forget the sentimental ornaments that hold special memories.

String Lights Everywhere:

The soft glow of string lights instantly creates a magical atmosphere. Drape them around your tree, along your staircase, or across windowsills. Consider using warm white lights for a classic look or colored lights for a playful vibe. You can even frame doorways or mirrors with fairy lights to add a touch of whimsy.

Craft a Dazzling Centerpiece:

Your dining table is a focal point for holiday gatherings. Create a dazzling centerpiece using a mix of candles, pinecones, and ornaments. Add fresh greenery for a touch of nature and consider incorporating metallic elements for a bit of glamour.

Hang Festive Wreaths and Make Your Windows Dazzle:

Wreaths aren't just for the front door; they can add a festive touch to any room. Hang them on interior doors, above mantels, or even on kitchen cabinets. You can experiment with different materials like pine, berries, or even citrus slices for a unique twist. Dress up your windows with Christmas-themed curtains or tiebacks. If you're feeling crafty, consider making your own window ornaments using holiday fabrics or repurposing old Christmas sweaters for a cozy touch.

Create a Hot Cocoa or Coffee Bar:

Set up a hot cocoa or coffee bar in your kitchen or living room. Arrange mugs, various flavors of coffee, hot chocolate, marshmallows, and peppermint sticks on a festive tray. This not only adds a decorative element but also invites guests to indulge in a warm and delightful treat. If you do not want to take up counter space, consider adding a kitchen cart to add all your mugs, toppings, and coffee grounds/pods. KENT has a wide selection of coffee makers to help make your vision a reality.

Whether you prefer a traditional look or want to experiment with modern twists, the key is to infuse your home with the spirit of the season. So, gather your favorite decorations, play some festive tunes, and let the magic of Christmas take over your home!
