I can feel it! Can you? The weather is changing and it’s giving me all the feels! Sweaters, sweatshirts, bonfires, pumpkin spice lattes, s’mores, crunchy leaves… all signal the beginning of the holiday season!

Did you know that our company also offers holiday decorating? Our team can help you incorporate your current decorations into your existing decor or…we can start fresh! From shopping for new ornaments to decorating your tree, we can handle the details.

Everyone’s holiday traditions are different. While some prefer the everlasting red and green to represent their holiday spirit, some clients are looking to update to a modern decorating approach. This year the trends encompass it all!

In the past few years our holiday gatherings have been altered to meet the requirements of society, but as this season grows near, we are all looking forward to gathering with friends and family to celebrate traditions new and old.

I recall wrapping presents in the comics from the Sunday paper. One trend that we’re loving is recycling! Not only is it good for the environment, recycling brings out the greatest creativity in us all. Taking items and using them in new and different ways is where this trend gets its wings. Wrap a present in an old scarf. Break out the glue gun and give ornaments a facelift with glitter, pearls or scraps of fabric. Dig to the bottom of the holiday decor boxes and use the treasures you haven’t seen in years.

And if sparkle and glitz isn’t your favorite, embrace the neutrals! The holidays don’t have to be drenched in glitter. Farmhouse neutrals bring a sense of calm and tranquility. Mid-mid color combos can add splashes of color. Let your decorating reflect your home’s color scheme. This decision makes for the most successful designs and our team can help you achieve holiday grandeur. We can help you define your holiday aesthetic. The holidays don’t have to be stressful. Our team can make your home shine!

Your home is where the heart is and the holidays make us appreciate all of it more. Making your home the place you want to be most is also a focus in this year’s trends. Why not go all out with your tablescapes!?! Set the table in an over the top festive way and let it be a feature of your holiday decor. Use the good china. Mix it with your everyday dishes. You may be surprised what our team can find in your cupboards that can be incorporated into your holiday table. By combining the vintage favorites with your daily standards, it may create a personal holiday color palette that perfectly complements your home’s design scheme.

It may still look like summer outside but before long you’ll be snuggled on the sofa with your favorite cozy quilt staring into the lights of your tree. Contact us today to book a slot on our schedule. We want your home to be the best combination of personal, classic and heartwarming it can be this holiday season! Raise those coffee cups and let’s toast to the holidays!

Stylishly yours,

The Chelsee Sowder Design Team
