In March of this year, Kylie Jenner became the youngest homeowner in her family when she purchased a nearly $3 million mansion [1]. Naturally, the home is gorgeous, so it only makes sense that it's even more Instagram-worthy when decorated for the holidays. Kylie's no stranger to sharing glimpses of her personal life on Instagram and Snapchat, and based on what she's shared this season, we're totally impressed by her interior style. In fact, it's so good that we bet Kris Jenner wouldn't mind leaving her recently purchased condo [2] to spend the holidays here. Read on to find six holiday-decor lessons everyone can learn from the 18-year-old — you might be surprised by how much you relate.
Pick out your favorite tree.
Half the fun of decorating your Christmas tree is knowing you picked out your favorite from the lot. Plus, real trees are a way better bet than fake trees for a number of envrionmental reasons [3]. Kylie was seen picking out her own tree in her neighborhood of Calabasas, CA.
Get creative with your decorations.
Sometimes traditional is best, but what's wrong with trying something new? Flocking your Christmas tree is one way to take your tree from boring to festive and frosty-looking (on the cheap! [4]). Kylie decorated hers beautifully — with the help of one of her three Italian greyhounds.
Accessorize your tree to fit your personality.
Customizing your Christmas tree to your personality is one of the easiest ways to make your house feel homey. Kylie showed off her Fendi ornament on Instagram [5], but you can let your style come through by making easy DIY ornaments [6].
Make your bed as cozy as possible.
Wintertime decorations don't have to stop at your tree and mantel. Making your bedroom as cozy as possible will make you want to curl up with spiked warm apple cider [7] and a good book. Take a cue from Kylie and create a warm and chic all-gray environment for the season.
Only use decorations that make you happy.
You know those tacky decorations that you begrudgingly pull out of your boxes each year? If they don't make you happy, then don't put them up! Don't be afraid to switch things up and create a new style that makes you feel relaxed and happy — that "gives you life," as Kylie said.
Remember to share your home with your friends and family.
What's even better than enjoying your cozy home during the holidays is doing it with friends and family. You worked hard to make it look good, so why not show it off?
