Naturally Elegant Coastal Christmas Decor: Get the Look celebrates pretty. Pretty glimpses of sophisticated subdued holiday rooms decorated with a decidedly grand yet delicate touch. Less bling-y traditional and classic style is certainly not everyone’s cup of eggnog at Christmastime when more is often more. But for a festive mood with less rustic strokes, peek at these inspiring Christmas decorated interiors (many from Atlanta’s Home for the Holidays Showhouse) and hints for getting the look.

Naturally Elegant Coastal Christmas Decor: Get the Look!

While it doesn’t scream ‘Christmas,’ this whispery white entry with faux bois table from Serena & Lily (above) proclaims a sort of understated elegance and fantasy holiday mood.
GET THE LOOK: Try tone on tone in an entry for serene winter wonderland fantasy vibes.

GET THE LOOK: Create a simple yet pretty moment on a stair landing for an unexpected moment of cheer (and tie a bow around a favorite sculpture!).

GET THE LOOK: Who says your ribbon and bows must be red? Try blue for a cool change.
My Cozy Slightly Coastal Mood
BTW. ‘Coastal’ here may be stretching it, but coastal doesn’t have to involve kitschy seashells.

Even though I live in land-locked Illinois, no matter where you hang your hat, you can embrace a coastal palette, beachy textures, and a seaside point of view.


GET THE LOOK: Try bleaching pinecones and a DIY wreath that can remain on the wall all winter.

GET THE LOOK: Red shades on blue and white porcelain table lamps? Instant festive moment! Find pretty possibilities HERE.

GET THE LOOK: Red is always optional when it comes to embellishing outdoor planters, but look at how a little red can mix with pink, gold and copper in a simple white bowl!

GET THE LOOK: Fresh greens for a staircase garland smell amazing and can hold their own without glittery pinecones and berries.

Loving the white, gold and silver look! For those of us who are white lovers anyway, Christmas is yet another time to indulge our use of white….Where I live, the overriding color is often white….lots of snow for Christmas! 😀
