""Seeing holiday decor get a modern-design makeover is my Roman Empire," says home expert Julian Thomas. These Christmas decoration ideas will set a festive tone in any room of the house-and yes, it's possible to deck your halls in an elevated way. "In the past, if you decorated for the holidays you had to sacrifice style and aesthetics for nostalgia and Christmas necessities," he says. "Not any more. From silk tree skirts to Clivia marble stocking holders, Christmas decorations have never been chicer.""
"This will inspire you to get your wrapping done early, and it gives your gift boxes another purpose: dressing up your living room before the big exchange on Christmas morning. "I love to make my own gift wrap," Sloan says. "Buy cheap brown packing paper and paint it yourself with stripes, spots, or any design you fancy. Add contrasting ribbons and pile your gifts under the tree. Your gifts become part of your Christmas scheme.""
Holiday decor can receive a modern-design makeover that keeps style and aesthetics while embracing nostalgia. Color palettes expand beyond traditional red and green, enabling elevated or retro-inspired schemes. Decorative ideas include filling glass jars with small seasonal items, positioning the tree centrally, adorning kitchen cabinets and chairs, and using wrapped gifts as part of the display. DIY wrapping with painted kraft paper and contrasting ribbons turns presents into complementary decor. Accessories such as silk tree skirts and marble stocking holders introduce luxe touches. Creative garlands and interior-design-friendly stockings allow customization for both subtle and maximalist approaches.
