2020 has been a year full of moments (or such 
). So, let's end the year and Christmas with a bang!
I love listening to Wrapped In Red by Kelly Clarkson while setting out the decor for the season. Browsing online for ideas and this year's trends is just as fun. Plus, some hot apple cider makes it extra festive!
This year is all about nostalgia, warm neutrals, modern glam, minimalism, soft rustic, and more! It's about creating intentional vignettes around the home. At the same time, it's important to allow your eye to rest and allow space to breathe from the seasonal decor. Think about "what's the smallest big move" you can do to make your holiday statement. Sometimes less is more. But, sometimes more is more. That is for you to decide!
If you're looking to add a little festivity or go to the top with decor, these ideas will work for you. I hope you find some inspiration for a special season!
