HOLIDAY DECORATING: WINTER WONDERLAND aka A WHITE CHRISTMAS...

It's that time of year to start thinking about the holiday season - at least for those of us who decorate homes and offices for the holidays.

One of my clients wants a Winter Wonderland using all white. Well, I love the challenge but I don't want the look to be sterile. So here are several important ideas I'll incorporate to achieve the look. They can be used whether the decorating style is traditional, contemporary or somewhere in between:

1. Use metallics especially silver. It adds dimension to white without adding obvious color... 

2. Use greenery, wherever possible, to add texture...

3. Use candles and/or lights to add sparkle and warmth...

4. If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace, go all out and pile it on (remember you want a winter wonderland). Use objects of different heights and groupings in odd numbers. It just looks better...

4. Don't forget to add decorations to your chandelier or light fixture...

5. And lastly, layer lots and lots and lots of ornamentation to your tree for a full, rich result. Here are some of my Christmas tree inspirations...

Wish me luck. In the meantime, happy trend spotting...

QUICK, THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE...

If you are anything like me, the holidays have snuck up on you (I just finished decorating my tree last night).

Before your home is filled with merriment, you'll need to deck the halls. The easiest holiday decorating trick I use is to fill a vessel with ornaments - vases, bowls, cake stands, jars, whatever. You can use anything you have around your house or find at your local Bed, Bath and Beyond, HomeGoods or even the dollar store:

Try adding a little greenery to step up the arrangement a notch:

Even add fruit if you really want to be fancy:

 Or maybe candles:

It's usually easiest to find a photo that you love to use as inspiration for creating your own holiday decor. Either way, here's how to get started:

First, gather all of your extra ornaments, trimmings, vases, platters, candles, etc. that you have around the house. Next, get some greenery from your (or your neighbors') yard. Depending on the container, start with the greenery as a base. Then add the ornaments, trimmings, candles, etc. Stick in some greenery here and there as filler (if necessary). Just experiment until you come up with a look that pleases you. Have fun with it!

In the meantime, happy trend spotting...
