We partnered with Target to show you how to add modern wintery accents for a fresh take on holiday decor.
It's easy to get into a holiday decorating rut when pulling from a collection of the same, dated accent pieces. Give your family and friends all the feels this season by thinking outside the box with unexpected touches and standout pieces that are really special. Your home will transform into the dreamiest setting for all of your Winter gatherings. Ahead, we're rounding up some festive ideas that you've definitely never seen before.
Bringing Winter elements into your home makes for a seasonal touch. For a fun DIY project, find a pretty branch that can double as a rack to display your stockings. You can even paint it with metallics to really make it pop. To play off of the wooden theme, style a couple of decorative trees on an accent table underneath.
Make your approach to hanging festive string lights a bit different by placing them inside glass vases. Style them alongside sleek marble tree figurines and pine tree leaves. This setup is perfect for entryways to welcome guests into your home.
Skip the flowers and use pine leaves as your centerpiece for dinner parties. They add a pop of color to the table and complement metallic accents beautifully. Keep your placemats and dishes clean and neutral, but use gold flatware and serving trays for a luxe touch.
Invite your guests to get cozy by keeping a variety of textured throw blankets on hand. The different fabrics become part of your decor and they feel inviting for guests to grab and use as they wish. Mix and match ones in seasonal colors like cream, gray, and faux fur for an effortless yet elegant vibe.
Put an updated spin on the traditional wreath by hanging one made of washed wood. Tree figures in mercury glass also maintain that festive quality while appearing elevated. Don't forget a minimal and adorable snowglobe, which looks modern but still adds a bit of nostalgia.
