Need a little inspiration for holiday décor?
The homes featured on last year’s Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart Winter Wonderwalk gave us more than a few ideas for adding holiday cheer into your home.
1. Draping holiday ornaments around a chandelier adds a touch of whimsy to this North Shore French country kitchen.
2. Consider white poinsettias for a more subdued holiday look. They look equally at home flanking the fireplace or in a formal sunroom.
3. Looking for a kid-friendly project? Have the kids pick out and decorate their own mini holiday tree. Disperse throughout the house for instant holiday cheer.
4. For a more streamlined look, decorate the tree using ornaments in the same color. Use gold or silver for an elegant look—or choose any color that ties into your existing décor.
5. Whimsy does it. There’s no time like the holidays to incorporate pieces like this happy table (or the infamous leg lamp from the classic ’80s film “This Christmas Story.”)
6. Adding a red tablecloth to this green and yellow sunroom transforms it into an ideal place for a holiday brunch.
7. There’s nothing like the sight of stockings lined up on the fireplace mantel. For a new tradition, try adding stockings with the name of friends, neighbors and even worthwhile causes to which your visitors may contribute.
8. Get in touch with your inner child. What child wouldn’t love stuffed animals on the banister and attached to the dining chairs?
