With Christmas Eve upon us, Beth is giving us an inside look into some of her classic Christmas moments she has so tastefully constructed and her ethos behind them.

“When it comes to decorating your home for the holidays, sophistication lies in the natural beauty of the season. Embrace the ‘less is more’ ethos by harmonizing your décor with a single element that’s carried throughout your home. In this homage to the ‘Classic Christmas’ style, the integration of fresh garlands, pine cones, and delicate berries is that timeless, unifying thread. These natural elements can be intentionally placed throughout your home, from staircases to mantelpieces, wreaths, the recesses of your china cabinet, adorning tablescapes, and even gracing your bookshelves.

If you’re pressed for time, never underestimate the impact of a simple pillow swap to infuse that festive spirit. Opt for a deep-hued red or green velvet to effortlessly elevate your aesthetic. You can extend this theme throughout your home as well, adding plush velvet ribbons for accents to staircases, Christmas trees, candelabras and sconces, and place settings so that every part of your home feels warm and cheerful. “

Thank you Beth for giving us an inside look into your classic Christmas world and sharing your insightful prose on the art of decoration.
