Design | Decorating for Christmas

I don't know about you guys but the second the calendar switches over to December 1st I am blaring the Christmas music, searching for Christmas movies on TV and researching different ways to decorate my house! While there are many different ways to decorate for the holidays, I always seem to lean more towards the traditional red and green palette. However, you can never go wrong with something a little more elegant! Here are some of my favorite ideas for holiday decorating:


My mom always use to intermix Magnolia green's in with her garland on the mantle, but why not nix the garland completely in favor of just the Magnolia greens?! You won't need to whip out the vacuum every couple of days to clean up the needles!

You can never go wrong with a plain box wreath on your front door. This one from West Elm also comes in a square which I love!

Why not decorate in places other then where you open presents?! The whole house needs to have a festive feel when your guests travel from room to room!
I love love LOVE the way they did their window boxes!
Here's what my mantle actually looks like for the holidays... what can I say the classics are a classic for a reason!
