2025 Holiday Home Decorating Guide

2025-holiday-home-decorating-guide

This holiday season, I’m leaning hard into the cozy vibes of browns, burgundys and dark greens. They feel nostalgic and festive yet still elevated. And as I always say, it’s not necessary to change or update your decor every season, but if you have a good base of pieces that you love, you can swap and rotate them each season. Especially during the holidays, it’s fun to infuse cozy and themed decor to make the home more inviting. It doesn't have to be costly or time-consuming but can help you get into that festive mood. Below are some tips to help you transform your home affordably and effortlessly this holiday season.

EMBRACE COLOR AND TEXTURE

  • Swap out throw pillows and throw blankets to thicker textures and warmer colors to instantly bring cozy vibes into your living room or bedrooms.

  • Introduce seasonal colors (burgundy, deep green, brown etc) through small accent pieces like vases, candles and decorative objects.

  • Play with patterns and textures by incorporating different fabrics, such as chunky, knitted fabrics for winter.

NATURE-INSPIRED ACCENTS

Bring the outdoors inside by decorating with natural elements like wreaths, potted plants and even branches with dark reds and burgundies. There are fun branches with red berries in them too. Incorporate red flowers like roses and dianthus.

SEASONAL TABLE SETTINGS

Set your dining table with seasonal-themed tablecloths, placemats, or runners to add a touch of festivity. Utilize seasonal centerpiece ideas such as flower arrangements, candles, or themed decor items to create a focal point. I love using a glass bowl with ball ornaments to add some color.


These simple and affordable tips can effortlessly transform your home to align with the changing seasons. From incorporating nature-inspired accents to playing with color and texture, each holiday season brings an opportunity to update your space with a fresh and inviting vibe. Remember, home decor updates don't have to break the bank; a little creativity and thoughtful adjustments can go a long way in creating a home that reflects the coziness of the holidays.
