Create Winter Magic in 4 Simple Steps

Christmas is a few short weeks away, and we love the high energy and excitement, as well as the warm, cozy feelings we get in the magical time before the miraculous day. We are really enjoying the trend in recent years of using lots of winter accents and greens, ensuring an easy and seamless transition when it’s time to take the tree down and pack up the holiday trimmings.

We know that the “most wonderful time of the year” can also be “slightly” stressful (just a little…) but when you accent your home up with winter elements that stay relevant all season, your home can still look like a cozy, winter wonderland even after you’ve taken down the tree and packed the ornaments away. Our wish for you is that you will take time this holiday to wander down the streets of small towns, country roads, or admire the glorious window displays in a big city. We hope you seek out and find the best, most brilliant holiday light displays in your area, enjoy the scents and sounds of the season, watch countless Hallmark movies and still find time to “wander” through our site, seeing and selecting any last minute accents that you’d like to find under your Christmas tree.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, settle into a cozy chair and browse through this short list of lovely winter accents.

• Going Green

You’re simply not going to believe how real these latest winter greens look!! With unsurpassed attention to detail, lifelike variation in tones, finely-crafted needles and leaves, their realism is incredible. The paper-wrapped or plastic-coated wire stems add to the authentic style, with the appearance of a real branch or twig. All of our winter greenery has lifelike realism that is sure to embellish your home like nothing else, perfect from now till late February! Look no further than our seasonal greens which are guaranteed to accent every home and design style with that kind of fresh woodsy feel that adds the luxurious look of nature to your home. This Natural Touch Teardrop cascades down this door with a lifelike drape and authenticity that is unmatched.

The more faux evergreens you use around your home, the softer and cozier your surroundings are going to feel. With the greens we’re offering this season you’ll also be gifting yourself with time since there’s virtually no maintenance or upkeep.

• Jingle All The Way

These sleigh bells were a huge hit last year and we’re bringing them back again!! We found them to be the perfect accent in multiple areas throughout our home. Made of sturdy metal with a creamy white or deep red finish, they offer a classic, vintage style that sets the perfect tone. Available in various sizes, the large ones can really make a statement and add a bold touch, the mid sizes fill in beautifully and the small ones can be displayed in countless ways…  Realize your decorator dreams with the darling look and musical sound of sleigh bells in your holiday decor this season.

Since the old-fashioned horse and sleigh was a common wintertime mode of transportation in days of old, these accents are also perfect through the entire winter!

• Contain Yourself

 

We are enthralled with these Snowflake Nesting Tins, featuring a lovely embossed galvanized look and nonstop practicality! (The fact that they store neatly together is a definite bonus!) From what we’ve seen, you love seasonal buckets and pails as much as we do, and currently one of our favorites is this eye-catching trio. The durable, long-lasting metal construction, whitewashed finish over floating snowflake design in neutral silver and white, offers a wonderful seasonal touch that can grace your home and offer organizational and decorating options all winter long.

• Let it Snow

It’s always a bonus (and gift to yourself) when you can decorate your home with accents that segue perfectly from Christmas through the entire winter season. That way, long after the Christmas ornaments and lights have been tucked away, you still have design elements gracing your home.

One of our favorites that really fits the bill in this department is the Glittered Ice Skates Hanging Sign. Ice skates are a classic motif in winter decorating and this darling pair has the exact styling that we love. Creamy-white tones, realistic laces and “metal” blades, as well as the fur edging, add up to a design element that gets high marks for dressing up your home through the long cold months.  (*Accentuate the look by incorporating the Cream Bells nearby… a perfect match for understated, contemporary interiors.

We hope this short list of ideas has inspired you with easy-going, casual winter style.
