DECOR TIPS FROM KELLI DELANEY KOT, TRAVEL CURATOR LIFESTYLE CONTRIBUTOR AND KDHAMPTONS FOUNDER

Design vibe: The holidays are a time for celebration, spending quality time with loved ones, and decking the halls. This season, upholding family traditions and making our homes feel happy and inviting is more meaningful than ever. Everyone loves to walk into a cozy Christmas house illuminated with a twinkling tree, a crackling fire, and festive touches all around.

Taking Center Stage: I set the tone by adding a big beautiful festive bouquet to my entry  table as the centerpiece. Get creative and incorporate winter accents like berries, magnolia, pine branches, and giant real pine cones. Wrap a big red velvet bow around the vessel for the finishing touch. Topiaire Flower Shop in Southampton designs my centerpiece each season.

Tiny Trees: In addition to your main tree, add baby Christmas trees in unexpected places around the house, I have one by my clawfoot tub that I love. Terrrain.com has a great selection.

DIY Wreath Design: Designing your own Christmas wreath adds a meaningful festive touch to your home. Set up a fun al fresco table with baskets of decor items like ribbons, holly, pinecones, and encourage your friends and family to get creative and into the spirit. You can find everything you need at michaels.com

Light it up: Weave a beautiful strand of real boxwood and holly garland through the lights in your dining room or chandelier. I always buy mine from The Magnolia Company. Add a second garland straight down the dining table as a simple centerpiece. Tuck in a strand of tiny battery operated tea lights.
