Trim the front door and outer window with matching evergreen wreaths to increase the appeal of Christmas (as shown in the picture above). Garlands decorated with red berries and ribbons are decorated with two obelisks, while flashing lights add luster to the potted boxwood on the front porch. It is beautiful all year round, and the shutters and carriage house door (painted in Xuanwei's Roycroft bottle green, SW 2847) look particularly festive in December.

Organic elements and earthy accents complement the existing color palette of the entrance passage. Hanging wreaths on the mirror and filling empty baskets or bowls with green plants and pine cones is an easy way to increase cheers. The garland tied to the railing with velvet and burlap bows adds luster to the stairs. We rotated a store-bought magnolia flower ring with pine and eucalyptus branches, berry sprigs and pine cones (fixed with florist wire).

Using the existing plan of the living room, the cold blue and snow white accents help to transform the space into a winter wonderland. Brown velvet ribbons and shiny decorations add another layer of interest to the evergreen wreath draped on the mantelpiece. Repeating similar elements on the Christmas tree gives the room a cohesive holiday look.

Throughout the holiday, a table is ready for the party. The red and white dining table arrangement contrasts with the neutral background of the restaurant. Instead of a large centerpiece, the amaryllis is in full bloom, and a candle holder trimmed with holly falls off the table (and will not prevent conversation). The wilder natural arrangement on the sideboard can be used for Thanksgiving and will be displayed throughout December.

As far as the table is concerned, Holly Cardinal Accent plate with Alexa plate, Holiday 13" Infinity Glitter Charger Plates, wicker charger (similar appearance, try Wicker Flower Charger), red jacquard napkin, red bar glasses, vintage foot cups, And natural bone stained steel tableware (both from Dillard's The Southern Living series).

The blue and white tones continue to the kitchen, and its decoration complements the patterned floor. Tiny decorations such as small wreaths on the windows, flocked mini trees on open shelves, and exquisite swags on high stools add vitality to the room without disturbing the daily hustle and bustle of the hardest working room in the house.

For casual meals, arrange some place settings on the island, including the Festive Fall Collection hound plate, Alexa plate, Holiday 13" Fusion Bronze Charger Platter, Natural Bone Stain Steel Flatware and Blue Textured Double Old-fashion Glasses (all from The Di Ladd’s exclusive collection of Southern Life series).

Holiday hostess tips: The hot chocolate station is suitable for people of all ages. All you need is a holiday mug and a jar full of marshmallows (for a similar look, try these mugs and jars, these mugs and jars are from Dillard's exclusive Southern Living series).

The oval work desk in the home studio can double as a gift wrapping or making desk, while the built-in desk is a convenient center for handling Christmas cards. Drawing inspiration from whimsical wallpapers, a flocked tree with vibrant decoration creates a playful style.

Why restrict cheering to the main living area? A small sleigh full of holiday costumes feels like at home on the skirted bench (left) in the master bedroom. In the twin bedroom (right), three shrubs add some highlights to the blue and white tones.

Hang the beautiful garland on the inner window to give the library a simple and vibrant appearance, which can be used for conference calls and cocktail parties.

A traditional flocking tree has been happily transformed in the media room, with clusters of colorful globes, rich velvet ribbons, snowflake ornaments and comfortable tartan prints.

Whimsical accents such as plush toys, woven candy canes and vintage metal ornaments bring holiday magic to the children’s study. This child-sized Tannenbaum is not a typical tree stand, but sits in a wooden flower pot with burlap wrapped around the base as a skirt.

In the south, there are outdoor recreational activities all year round. The surrounding landscape of the Bluegrass State inspires the rustic, natural appearance of the dining table and the trees. In the center, pine branches, white spray-painted branches, pine cones and rabbit tails surround three tall hurricanes. It is particularly pleasant to light the column candles inside at dusk.

As far as the table is concerned, the clever decorative board is paired with an artificial leather 15-inch round charger, Astra series glazed dinner plate, Hobnail glass, linen napkin and artificial leather napkin ring (all from Dillard's The Southern Living series).
