I’m thrilled to share my spring patio reveal with you! I love how our outdoor spaces turned out this year. I infused some fun pops of color through pillows and fresh florals while maintaining a calming, neutral vibe throughout. With a spacious front porch and a large back deck, I created distinct areas in each. Creating cozy sitting areas, a charming dining area, and a relaxing hangout spot with our porch swing. I kept everything budget-friendly, and I’m amazed by how high-quality everything turned out!

I enjoy spending time with my loved ones in this space! The cushions are so comfortable, making it the perfect spot for long chats and relaxed hangouts. Not only is it incredibly cozy, but it also looks stunning. Everything has come together in a way that’s both stylish and welcoming. I added some fresh greenery, cozy blankets, and a few new pillows to bring in the feeling of spring. It’s a simple update, but it made a world of difference in making the space feel fresh and inviting.

One of my favorite things about spring is dining outdoors. There’s nothing better than enjoying a meal in the fresh air, especially when hosting friends and family. I gave our outdoor dining area a little refresh with a beautiful Amazon rug and a pop of spring flowers. It’s a simple setup, but it brings the perfect mix of charm and comfort for those sunny spring days.

Mornings are my favorite time to unwind, with a fresh cup of coffee in hand, the sounds of birds, and a gentle breeze filling the air. To embrace the spring season, I added brighter elements like the cushions, rug, table, and pot. The light colors instantly brighten the space, creating a fresh, airy atmosphere that feels like the perfect start to the day.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into our spring patio refresh! It’s always so fun to breathe new life into a space with a few seasonal updates.

March Coastal Favorites

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

I am excited to share my March coastal favorites! I added a few coastal-inspired pieces to my home and updating the space to feel even more relaxed and inviting. From fresh decor that brings in a touch of the coastal serenity, to new favorites I can’t get enough of, this month has been all about embracing the laid-back coastal vibe. Whether it’s a small update or a new addition, these little changes have made a big difference in creating a space I love to unwind in. Here’s a look at my modern coastal favorites and home updates for March.

Our faux hydrangeas are a best-seller, and I’m still amazed at how realistic they look! They add such a natural touch to the space and look perfect in this new crock I picked up. The combination has brought a fresh, vibrant feel to my updated console table, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite features in the room.

kitchen & dining coastal favorites

kitchen runner | hand towel

rattan counter stools | pendant light | vase | plant | tray

Some of my personal favorites from March include our new kitchen runner. I absolutely love everything about it, the colors, the pattern, and the overall coastal vibe it brings to the space. It really ties the room together. Another favorite are my counter stools; they’re not only durable and comfortable, but they’re also perfect for the kids with their easy-to-clean surfaces. The texture they add to our kitchen is exactly what it needed, giving the space a welcoming and relaxed feel.

gallery wall

Gallery frames are a staple in our home, and they never fail to make a statement. I love how our family photos are the main focal point in our living room, adding warmth and personality to the space. Each frame tells a story, and it’s such a beautiful way to display our favorite memories. The collection has become a central part of our home’s decor, giving the room a personal, lived-in feel.

subtle upgrades

Our new Drapeful curtains in the family room have been the perfect addition, providing just the right amount of color to brighten up the space. We chose the Skyler in Silver, with privacy lining, triple pleat, and memory shape, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. The fabric adds a soft elegance, while the memory shape ensures they always hang beautifully. They really elevate the room’s atmosphere, making it feel cozy and refined at the same time.

coastal art

We recently added new coastal art to the ledge in our living room by Deb Pressuto Art, and it’s the perfect finishing touch. I love the vibrant pop of blue in the piece, it ties in beautifully with our sofa and really brings the coastal vibe to life. The artwork adds just the right amount of color and character to the space, making it feel even more serene and inviting.

outdoor faves

I’ve also added faux florals to our back porch and deck from Amazon, and I’m honestly so impressed with how real they look! The vibrant colors and realistic textures really brighten up the outdoor space, giving it a lush, fresh feel without the upkeep of real plants. They’ve been a great addition, adding beauty and low-maintenance charm to both areas.

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek into my March favorites and home updates! It’s always refreshing to mix in new pieces and seasonal touches to keep things feeling fresh and inviting. Whether it’s a small decor change or a new favorite find, I love how these updates come together to make my home feel even more like a peaceful retreat. Thanks for following along, and I can’t wait to share more soon!

The coastal aesthetic has always been something I’ve admired, so when we moved into our house, I was determined to bring that feeling into our master bedroom. I wanted to create a space that felt like a true retreat, a place where you could really unwind. It’s about more than just decorating, it’s about setting a mood, capturing that sense of calm you get by the water. I’ve gathered some of my favorite coastal-themed bedroom pieces, and how I’ve used them to create that relaxing, coastal atmosphere right here at home.

The color scheme is the most crucial starting point when creating a coastal-themed room! You should start by featuring light neutral tones, and warm wood hues, with a hint of blue here and there. By focusing on calming and natural colors you’ll be well on your way to creating a relaxing, coastal bedroom! For more on coastal decor click HERE. For more on coastal paint colors and which ones I use click HERE.

furniture + lighting

When designing a coastal-themed bedroom, it’s important to stick to light and airy pieces! Coastal design emphasizes openness and lightness, and the furniture pieces you use should reflect this. This wall art find fits perfectly into this theme, contributing to the airy feel. For more on wall art click HERE! Natural light is also key, making the room feel larger and more open. Using soft ambient lighting like lamps and candles also contributes to the coastal feel, creating a relaxed environment.

coastal bedding

Layered bedding adds depth and texture to a bedroom space. The best thing about styling your bedroom is that you can incorporate your own personal style through the throw pillows, bed blankets, and duvet. When choosing fabrics for your layered bedding look, opt for soft and breathable materials that prioritize both style and comfort. To learn how I create that fluffy bed look, click HERE.

minimalism

Mirror | Dresser | Vase | Faux Leaf Stem | Similar Stool

Sometimes, less is more. A minimalist approach can be effective in creating a sense of calm and serenity. This can allow your space to feel more open and spacious! By stripping away clutter and excess to be minimalistic, you’re able to focus on the essentials and let the coastal theme shine through! You’d be surprised how swapping a few elements can transform a space.

florals + greenery

Adding faux florals and greenery to your space is an easy way to add a pop of color. It adds a touch of nature to a space while maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. Opt for faux pieces for minimal effort! You can swap them out as you please, and don’t have to keep up with watering them.

materials + texture

Wood furniture adds warmth and natural touch to a space! Rattan decor pieces are durable and versatile for any room styling, adding a variety of texture to the room. It’s a great addition that contributes to the overall beachy feel!

Achieve a seaside feel from your bedroom! The neutral tones and minimalistic theme create a calming environment, perfect for relaxing and counting sheep.

From Builder-Grade to a Custom Home

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

Turning a builder-grade home into a custom masterpiece is a rewarding journey that brings personality and style to every corner. When I first moved into my home, I saw its potential, even with its standard finishes. Through thoughtful design choices and a little creativity, I transformed key areas of the house into unique, custom spaces that reflect my personal taste and lifestyle. I knew I wanted a neutral coastal aesthetic that shows through in my décor. In this post, I’ll be sharing how I took different parts of my home from basic builder grade, to original, showcasing the projects that made a world of difference in creating a home that truly feels like mine.

Part of the fun of being a homeowner is getting to add personality to each room. That is the key to turning a builder-grade home into a custom dream home. Builder-grade homes are cookie-cutter, built to look like every other house on the block. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with keeping your house in a builder-grade state if that’s what you like! However, if you are looking for some inspiration to upgrade and personalize that house, there are easy and affordable ways to accomplish that!

In this bathroom, I swapped out the light switch plate for a gold metal one, new wallpaper, a new faucet, and a hook for the hand towel, just to name a few. Don’t be afraid to mix metals and patterns!

Builder Grade to Personalized Touch in the Kitchen

To transform a builder-grade kitchen into a more personalized space, consider adding thoughtful details that reflect your style. Simple touches like decorative vases, faux greenery, and charming hand towels can instantly elevate the space. These small accessories not only add color and texture but also create a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels uniquely yours, giving the kitchen a custom, lived-in feel without a complete overhaul.

Style Larger Scale Greenery in a Vase for a More Custom Home Look

Terracotta Vase | Faux Eucalyptus | Door Knob | Metallic Finish Buff Wax | Accent Table

When transforming a builder-grade home into something custom, it’s important to consider the scale of your pieces. Avoid cluttering the space with too many small items. Instead, opt for larger statement pieces that create a sense of balance and cohesion. One simple way to do this is by incorporating large greenery or florals in a vase, which adds life and visual interest without overwhelming the room. Don’t overlook the power of larger-scale items like curtains, curtain rods and door handles. These can make a dramatic difference in elevating the overall aesthetic, giving the room a more custom, curated feel.

Simple Hardware Upgrades

Panel Moulding | Antique Brass Drawer Handle

Art Display Light | Art | Ceramic Vase | Florals

One of the simplest and most effective ways to add a custom touch to your home is by upgrading the hardware. Small changes can make a huge impact, replacing a basic faucet with a more stylish one or adding a statement light above a piece of artwork can instantly elevate a space as pictured here. Other easy hardware upgrades include swapping out doorknobs, updating light fixtures, installing new curtain rods, or even replacing standard wall socket covers. These often-overlooked details can transform your home, giving it a more personalized, polished look.

Customization Through the Front Door

Look-For-Less Front Door | Front Door Handle

Okay, now I can’t make a blog about customizing our house without giving a shoutout to our front door! This customized front door has seriously changed the vibe of the entire house, and to say I am obsessed is an understatement. I look at this customization as an investment piece. I got exactly what I wanted and it looks absolutely gorgeous. My exact from door is the Therma Tru Classic Craft Artíssa Collection in Mahogany Grain 6 Lite, and the divided color is Acorn!

Transforming your home from builder-grade to custom doesn’t have to involve major renovations or expensive projects. By focusing on thoughtful details, like upgrading hardware, choosing the right scale for your furniture, and adding personalized touches, you can create a unique and truly yours space. Every small change adds up to a bigger transformation, and with a little creativity and patience, your home can reflect your personal style and vision in a way that feels custom-built just for you.

Bringing Spring into My Home

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

With spring comes the perfect opportunity to refresh your home with a few simple decor changes. I swapped out heavy winter pieces for lighter, brighter accents that evoke renewal. Within my Spring decor, I try to keep it neutral, light, and airy to match the rest of my decor. Even though some days are still cold where I live, I am ready to start decorating for the warmer days! These are the updates I made around my house to embrace the season and create a space that feels fresh and inviting.

I love bringing the essence of spring into my space with soft, neutral swaps that still feel fresh and inviting. This season, I added a cozy blue and cream throw blanket to my sofa for a light, coastal touch. A faux olive tree offers a bit of greenery without the hassle! These subtle updates, from the artwork to the greenery, create a calm and refreshing spring atmosphere that perfectly complements the coastal feel of my home.

Subtle Spring Bathroom Updates

Vase | Tulips | Marble Bathroom Accessories | Hand Towel

To bring a touch of spring into my bathroom, I kept things simple with a few subtle updates. A vase filled with faux flowers adds a pop of color and freshness, while another vase with greenery brings in a natural, earthy vibe. I swapped out my hand towels for lighter blues and creams to create a soft, serene feel, and traded my bath rugs for lighter, more airy options that complement the new season. These small changes help create a calm, spring-inspired atmosphere without overwhelming the space.

Lighter Throw Pillows and Blankets

For a fresh spring update in my living room, I love swapping out heavy, dark pillow covers for lighter, neutral tones like soft whites, beiges, or light grays. It instantly creates a breezy, spring-inspired vibe that feels so refreshing. I also like to refresh the wood ledge above the couch with spring-themed artwork to bring a pop of color without overwhelming the space. For the coffee table, I keep things simple by adding a vase, minimalistic candle and candle holders, as well as a couple of stacked books. I love the contrast between the blues and the rattan. These small touches make my living room feel airy, inviting, and perfectly ready for the season.

Vases and Faux Florals for Every Room

Rug | Faux Leaf Tree | Shag Rug | Pillow Cover Hanging Chair

Adding vases and faux florals to different rooms in my home are one of my favorite ways to bring in a touch of spring without too much maintenance. In the living room, I love placing a tall, elegant vase on a side table with a few faux stems of lavender or eucalyptus. It adds a calming, natural feel without worrying about wilting. In the living room, I added a textured vase with faux florals. These faux florals provide all the beauty of real flowers but with the convenience of lasting longer and requiring no upkeep!

Colors of the Season

For a simple spring refresh in my master bedroom, I like to swap a few key pieces to lighten things up. I replaced my old vase with a beautiful blue and white porcelain one to add some charm and place it on a nightstand or dresser for an elegant touch. A floral block print quilt brings in a pop of color, and I like to fold the corner down slightly to show off the layers beneath. A soft blue waffle blanket adds texture and keeps things cozy, while the cream-colored euro shams creates a nice contrast and helps balance the bed’s look. For a polished, layered effect, arrange the pillows in a casual, slightly staggered way, so it feels effortless but still styled. These easy swaps make the room feel fresh, inviting, and ready for spring!

Honest Reviews: Finding the Perfect Seating for Every Room

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

Whether it’s lounging after a long day, hosting friends and family, or simply enjoying a good book, the furniture we choose for our homes plays a crucial role in our daily lives. However, not all seating options are created equal. In this blog, I’ll be giving honest reviews of the various seating arrangements in my home, what works, what doesn’t, and everything in between. If you’re in the market for new furniture or just curious about different styles and comfort levels, you’re in the right place.

Let’s start in the most personal space of the house: the bedroom. When it comes to comfort, this is where it all begins. But comfort doesn’t stop there, our living and dining areas are just as important. We’ll take a closer look at the different seating throughout my home, from the cozy, versatile sectional in the living room to the dining chairs that have hosted countless meals and gatherings. I’ll also share my thoughts on the swivel chairs, which are perfect for both relaxation and functionality. Whether you’re after style, comfort, or both, you’ll get the real deal on how each piece really performs!

Pottery Barn Sofa York: Comfort Meets Style

First up, the Pottery Barn Sofa York with square arms and a slipcover. I absolutely love the fabric, the Performance Heathered Tweed in Indigo has such a beautiful, rich texture. However, I made the mistake of opting for the high-performance contract-grade cushions instead of the down-filled ones. The result? The cushions are incredibly firm, almost uncomfortably so. While the fabric itself is a win, the firmness of the cushions definitely takes away from the overall comfort. Lesson learned!

Comparing Comfort: Pottery Barn Balboa vs. Pottery Barn Gideon Swivel Chairs

Balboa Swivel Chair | Block Print Pillow Cover | Luther Pillow | Blanket | Rug

Gideon Swivel Chair | Faux Rabbit Throw Blanket | Mirror | Rug

Next, let’s compare two of my favorite swivel chairs. First, the Pottery Barn Balboa Swivel Chair in Performance Heathered Tweed Ivory, hands down, I absolutely love this chair! The fabric is soft yet durable, and the comfort is next-level. Then, there’s the Pottery Barn Gideon Swivel Chair in Chambray Performance Heathered Basket Weave. The fabric and overall look of this chair are fantastic, but it’s not the best option for taller people. That said, it still works for me, and if I had to choose between the two, the Balboa would win every time, thanks to its incredible comfort.

A Closer Look at My Pottery Barn Sectional

The Pottery Barn Pearce Sectional in Sunbrella Performance Slub Tweed in Pebble has been a favorite of mine for almost six years now, and it’s still going strong. The fabric has held up incredibly well over time, making it a reliable choice for both comfort and durability. This sectional is hands-down my favorite spot to relax, whether I’m watching TV or curling up next to the fireplace, it’s the perfect place to unwind.

Practical and Styling Seating in My Kitchen

Dining Chairs | Table | Vase | Artificial Flowers | Light

Rattan Counter Stools | Pendant Light | Vase | Plant | Tray

The Rejuvenation High Back Dining Chairs have been fantastic, comfortable, and still looking great after plenty of use. They’ve definitely stood the test of time. As for my World Market Amolea Wood and Rattan Counter Stools, these are finally back in stock, and I can’t recommend them enough. They’re affordable, sturdy, and super easy to clean, perfect for kids. Plus, they’re incredibly comfortable and well-made, making them a solid choice for any kitchen.

The Perfect All-Around Chair

The Beautiful Drew Chair by Drew Barrymore in Cream Bouclé has quickly become my go-to spot for working from home. Not only is this swivel chair affordable, but it’s also incredibly cozy. The fabric is soft, yet surprisingly easy to clean, making it perfect for everyday use. It’s the ideal combination of comfort and practicality.

Classic Comfort with a Slipcovered Style

The gray Rowe Sylvie 88” Slipcovered Sofa in our living room has been a game-changer. I love the bench seat, and the cushions are the perfect balance of cozy and supportive, you really sink right in without losing support. We bought it locally, but it’s also available on Wayfair in a different fabric. It’s a great piece that blends comfort and style effortlessly.

Finding the right seating for every space has been a journey of balancing comfort, durability, and style. Each piece in my home serves a unique purpose, from the cozy spots for relaxation to the practical, kid-friendly options in the kitchen. Whether you’re in the market for new furniture or just curious about different styles, I hope these honest reviews help guide your choices and inspire your next home update. Comfort and style are key, and with the right pieces, every corner of your home can be both functional and beautiful.

How To Style Your Console Table

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

Decorating and styling your console table is one of my favorite ways to add a personal touch to my home! Console tables are such versatile pieces of furniture that are usually found in entryways, hallways, and living rooms. While there is a lot of valuable space, their slim and narrow design can offer a challenge when styling. Here are the different ways that I love to style my console tables to offer an appealing design.

Personalizing Your Console Table

Personalizing your console table is a fun way to make your space feel more “you.” Start with things you love—like a few decorative books, decor pieces you love, or vases. Mix up materials like wood, metal, or glass for a bit of texture, and add in some greenery or stems for a fresh vibe. You can also add candles or cute trinkets to fill in empty spaces and create a more laid-back, welcoming look. Just keep it balanced and fun!

Create a Cohesive Look

Consider working with a theme for your console table for a more cohesive look. Here, the vase with stems takes center stage with a range of other decorative items that are deliberately placed to add to the overall look and feel of the space.

Beyond the Entryway

Console tables aren’t just for entryways—they can be a stylish addition to any room in your home. I’ve personally used them in my living room and hallway, and they really help tie the spaces together. In the living room, I’ve styled mine as a media console, adding some decorative pieces like vases and books on top, while also using the lower shelf for extra storage. In the hallway, I love how a console table can create a focal point without taking up too much space. I’ve kept it simple with a mirror above, some greenery, and a few personal items, giving the area a welcoming, curated feel. It’s amazing how versatile and functional console tables can be in any room!

Transform Your Space with the Perfect Console Table

Console tables are a versatile and stylish way to enhance any room in your home. Whether placed in an entryway, living room, or hallway, they offer the perfect balance of form and function. With a little creativity, you can use them to showcase personal items, add texture, or even create extra storage. From sleek, modern designs to more classic styles, the options are endless. Whatever your space needs, a well-styled console table can truly pull a room together and add that perfect finishing touch.

Achieving the Dreamy Fluffy Bed Look

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

The fluffy bed look has been trending, and I love it! I’m often asked how I make my bed look so fluffy and cozy…and to be honest, I have a few tricks that I use to help achieve this look! Here are my go-to tips and tricks for that gorgeous fluffy bed look.

To get a good night’s sleep, you need to have two things: a good mattress and sheets. I’m very picky about my sheets! After some serious searching, I’ve found that the Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set are hands down the best. They’re a bit pricey, but once you try them, you won’t want anything else. I also love Boll & Branch as another top choice. Right now, I’m exploring new options and can’t wait to try Quince next! After trying two mattress we landed on the Saatva Classic Plush Soft mattress. It’s supportive, so comfortable and keeps us cool at night!

Invest in a Quality Mattress Protector

The first step to achieving a fluffy bed look is to ensure you have a mattress protector! Never underestimate the importance of a mattress protector. Mattresses are a pricy investment and having the proper protection is essential for them to last longer. Personally, I love the ComfortCloud Mattress Pad.

The Key Components to a Fluffy Bed Look

The key components to a fluffy bed are a duvet, quilt, and throw blanket. This may seem like a lot of layers, especially if you sleep hot like me, but I love the soft coziness of a duvet. The duvet insert I love, and recommend the most, is the Classic Down Insert from Pottery Barn. It’s lightweight enough to use in the Summer, but still keeps you warm in the Winter. There are also some great options on Amazon! I use a thin quilt before adding the duvet. This is the step that you can truly get creative. Experiment with different colors and textures until you find the look that is right for you!

Add More Pillows

The pillows I use for sleeping are two standard pillows for a full or queen bed and three standard or two king pillows for a king-sized bed. After layering your sleeping pillows in the back, I love to add three euro pillows to a king-sized bed and then layer two king-sized pillow shams. To finish, I use a lumbar pillow or two to three 22×22 pillows in the front.

One Duvet or Two Duvets?

Another way to achieve that really fluffy bed is to use two duvet inserts instead of only one. To protect your duvet inserts, I recommend using a linen duvet cover. I love linen because it never has to be ironed or steamed. Your duvet cover can be switched throughout the year to match the season or the new color palette of your space. I love the comfy casual look that they provide, and (an added plus) linen duvets keep getting softer with age!

The Finishing Touch for a Fluffy Bed Look

For the final touch of a fluffy bed, I add a knitted throw or blanket loosely at the foot of the bed. It finishes off the bed and ties everything together for that extra cozy feel. I typically use a full or queen-sized blanket for my king-sized bed.

Decorating the Nightstand

Your bedroom isn’t complete without a styled nightstand! The small decor pieces used on your nightstand (florals, greenery, candles, etc.) can be easily switched out to coordinate with the current season. The star of the nightstand is the lamp, it may take some time to find the perfect piece, but once you do it is SO worth it! I also like to add decorative boxes on the bottom shelf to store small items like a phone or laptop charger.

Winter Home Decor: Styling Your Home for the Colder Months

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

Now that Christmas is over and as Winter settles in, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with seasonal touches that bring warmth and style to the colder months. Winter home decor is all about creating a cozy and inviting space, from plush textiles to natural accents. When styling a room for the Winter, I focus more on a palette of blues, cream, and greenery. Together, these colors and textures create a winter-ready room that feels stylish and warm, perfect for enjoying the season from the comfort of your home.

Winter Home Decor | home decor, home styling, winter home decor, trending home decor, trending Winter home decor, coastal home decor, coastal home finds, home finds

Playing with those blues and creams really helped to enhance the cozy, serene vibe I was going for this winter. To complement the cool tones and create a warmer, more inviting atmosphere, I decided to switch out my rug for this gorgeous handwoven Jute rug in shades of brown and blue. The natural texture of the Jute adds a rustic, earthy feel that contrasts beautifully with the sleek, cool hues of the furniture, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort to the space. It’s the perfect balance between comfortable and chic, and it really ties the whole room together. Plus, the durability of the Jute material makes it a practical choice for winter, as it can stand up to the added foot traffic during the colder months.

Subtle Colors and Textures of the Season

To add texture and interest, I swapped out my pillows with a mix of seasonal covers: a soft faux fur for warmth, a blue one to tie in with the room’s accents, and a cream one to balance the look. I also added a blue accent chair that makes a bold statement, while the vase with delicate stems adds a touch of organic beauty. The two sculptural pieces bring an artistic flair, creating a stylish, serene corner that ties everything together.

Embracing Natural Accents in Winter Home Decor

Natural accents are a great way to bring warmth and texture to your winter home decor. During the colder months, incorporating elements like wooden vases, woven baskets, stone sculptures, and dried florals can add an earthy, grounded feel to your space. I added woven baskets and a woven vase, but alternatively added this ceramic lamp to introduce a different texture. These materials not only create a an inviting atmosphere but also balance out the cooler tones typically seen in winter decor. Whether it’s a rustic wooden bowl on the coffee table or a set of stone candle holders, natural accents offer a timeless, understated elegance that complements the season.

Winter Pillows That Complete the Look

White Knit Pillow | Blue Pillow Cover | Flower Pillow Cover

These winter pillows are the perfect finishing touch to my space. I love how the mix of the white knit and two different patterns adds both texture and color to the room. It makes everything feel so inviting and seasonal. These pillows truly complete the look, bringing a cozy yet modern vibe that ties the whole space together.

Winter Home Decor Accents to Brighten Your Space

I’ve brought in some winter accents to give my space a cozy, seasonal vibe. The abstract figurine adds a modern touch, while the vase holds winter greenery that bring a fresh, natural feel. I draped a beaded garland for a bit of sparkle, and the greenery brings warmth and life to the room. These little touches come together to create a space that feels both inviting and full of winter charm.

Winter Warmth in the Living Room

My living room is a blend of comfort and style, perfect for the winter months. A soft throw blanket adds warmth to the couch, while a variety of pillows in different colors, patterns, and textures give the space depth and visual interest. I love how the glow of candles creates a calm ambiance, and a vase of greenery brings a subtle touch of life and color to the room. These simple touches help make the living room feel welcoming.

My front door is always the focal point of my holiday decor, and this year, I’ve gone all out to make it extra special. I’ve added a fresh wreath, a variety of trees, and cozy touches that set the tone for the season. It’s the perfect way to welcome friends and family into the holiday spirit.

Touches of Christmas Greenery

I love how the trees, metal lanterns, and twinkle trees have transformed my porch. The trees frame the entrance perfectly, while the lantern adds a touch of charm. The twinkle tree brings the right amount of sparkle, making everything feel extra festive.

A Christmas Front Porch Holiday Welcome

I couldn’t resist adding the Christmas tree door mat – it’s the perfect touch right at the entrance. The area rug ties everything together, easily bringing warmth and texture to the space. These little details make the porch feel extra inviting and really set the stage for the cozy holiday atmosphere I love.

Cozy Outdoor Seating

The seating area is so cozy with a rocking chair and a soft blanket, perfect for relaxing on chilly nights. The bench swing, decked out with holiday pillows, adds the perfect touch of comfort and cheer. It’s my favorite spot to sit back, sip hot cocoa, and enjoy the holiday with family and friends.

Holiday Front Porch Styling

My holiday porch is all about creating a warm and inviting space for family and friends. From the welcoming front door to the cozy seating area with a blanket and pillows, every detail is designed to make this time of year feel extra special.

Christmas Retreat: Festive Touches for the Bedroom

We are getting so close to it officially being Christmas time! I can’t wait to continue sharing how I am getting my house ready for the season. And decorating my bedroom for the holidays has become one of my favorite parts. There’s something magical about transforming the space into a festive, cozy Christmas retreat. I love adding subtle touches of the Christmas season—whether it’s soft green throws, delicate tree statues, or a few carefully chosen seasonal accents. It’s the perfect way to create a peaceful, joyful atmosphere!

Styling my primary bedroom for the holidays is all about creating a festive, cozy Christmas space. I love adding a Christmas tree in the corner, its soft lights bringing a gentle glow to the room. Above the bed, a small wreath adds a subtle touch of greenery, while holiday-themed pillows on the end of bed bench bring in a pop of seasonal cheer. I also added green accents to the bedding— a deep green throw and pillow shams—which tie everything together and evoke the warmth and beauty of the season. It’s the perfect mix of festive and serene – and perfect for cozying up with a good book!

Christmas Accents on the Nightstands

I’ve added a few festive accents to my nightstand for a simple yet charming holiday touch. Two wooden Christmas trees bring a rustic, natural feel, while a cozy Christmas-scented candle fills the room with holiday spirit. A couple of rattan boxes complete the look, adding warmth and texture. On the other nightstand I have added red berry stems to bring a touch of Christmas magic without overwhelming the space.

Festive & Cozy Christmas Bedding

I love layering textures and colors, honestly no matter the season. A deep green throw adds a pop of color, while Christmas-themed pillows—think subtle plaid and cozy knit patterns—bring in seasonal charm. The soft, neutral bedding creates a calm base, allowing the holiday accents to really stand out without overwhelming the space. It’s the perfect balance of comfort and Christmas cheer!

Christmas Touches on the Dresser

The sideboard is the perfect place for adding a few more holiday accents. I’ve placed small Christmas trees on one side for a natural, earthy vibe, while a white chair nearby gets cozy with a couple of Christmas colored pillows. A vase filled with faux stems adds a touch of greenery, bringing the beauty of winter indoors. These simple, thoughtful additions help create a cozy, festive, and inviting atmosphere throughout the room.

Subtle Christmas Touches Around the Room

To enhance the holiday ambiance of our bedroom, I’ve added a few subtle details throughout the room. A lush garland drapes over the arched mirror bringing a touch of greenery to the space, while a simple bow on the mirror adds a cheerful, seasonal flair. On the floor, a rattan tree collar offers a rustic, natural touch. These little accents help tie everything together, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere full of Christmas spirit.

I hope you are feeling inspired to transform your cozy corner into a Christmas retreat that you can’t wait to get to every night. For more holiday inspiration, click HERE.
