To Do & Not To Do For The Holidays

As the holiday season approaches, we at Serenella Interiors understand the importance of creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home. With a touch of creativity and a few thoughtful decisions, your space can reflect the joy and elegance of this special time. Here are some essential do's and don'ts to guide your holiday decorating.

Holiday Dos and Donts-1.jpg

Do: Elevate Your Living Room with Layers of Texture

To achieve that cozy feel, we recommend layering textures. Incorporate chunky knit blankets, faux fur throws, and sumptuous velvet pillows to create visual interest. This season, let’s move beyond traditional red and green palettes by introducing jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, and ruby. These rich colors enhance your space's warmth. Adding metallic accents — gold, silver, or brass — will provide that perfect holiday sparkle.

Do: Table Settings That Wow

The dining room is the heart of holiday gatherings, and it deserves our utmost attention. Begin by layering neutral linens in cream and taupe. Then, elevate the look with seasonal touches like a runner of evergreen sprigs or a collection of metallic candlesticks. Personalize your settings with gingerbread cookies bearing guests' names, and set the mood by introducing soft battery-powered candles for a gentle glow.

Don't: Hide Wires for Lighting

While enhancing your decor, remember to keep things tidy. Avoid visible lighting wires by opting for battery-driven lights for your banisters and table settings. This detail ensures a polished, elegant finish that aligns perfectly with luxury residential interior design.

Don't: Over-Decorate Mantles
