How To Create An Elegant Christmas Space In Your Family Room

So this just happens to be one of my top 5 favorite posts to do of the year! Christmas has slowly been finding its way around our house and today it has found its way into my favorite room this time of year… Which is our family room! This year I wanted a very cozy, but elegant vibe. Of course I wanted to keep it neutral in nature, but to also have some very subdued pops of color. I wanted things to feel classic as well. And I couldn’t be happier to be joining my sweet friend Kristen at Ella Claire to share it all decorated…

A Classic and Elegant  Christmas Family Room

You may have heard me mention this earlier this year, but I have chosen to only buy 1-2 pillow cases each season instead of a whole set of festive pillows. I am picking ones that can transition through the seasons and will be quality to last over time as well!

This year the tree was trimmed with candlesticks, plaid ribbon, many ornaments and faux greenery picks.

To make things a bit more special, I put some magnolia flowers organically sprinkled about. I didn’t use many because I wanted it to be just a subtle touch here and there!

Presents are wrapped with easy ribbon…

I used to do big bows (which I still think is beautiful), but now I like the look of ribbon sans bow!

I made the garland extra full this time around. I may play with it throughout the season but again, wanted it to be basic while pretty.

Little battery operated twinkle lights are woven throughout the faux greens to give some extra sparkle.

To keep it in line with the other magnolias on the tree, I put a stem in the garland as well.

It makes things feel just a little whimsical!

There really is nothing like the glow of Christmas lights and a fire burning (even if it is electric, lol).

Here is one of my sweetest thrifted finds to date! I found this while out last week and loved it. I knew it would be the perfect addition to our coffee table.

Since the tree has some gold accents this candle holder was the perfect fit!

Knowing I would have the tree, garland and a centerpiece behind the sofa, I chose to keep things quiet on the coffee table.

The flickering candlelight was all that the coffee table needed in combination with the bowl of ornaments.

Candlesticks line the fireplace. They are tall and narrow and I enjoy the tiny bit of drama they add with the pop of black.

I have played around with where to place the tree throughout the years. I have decided there is no right or wrong.

Although I think it is festive to have it in the center of the sunroom with the french doors behind it, there is something cozy about having it next to the fireplace. We can enjoy its view while sitting on our sofas too.

And that is it for now… I hope that this post brings you inspiration and encouragement as you may be getting your home ready for the season!

    Your little thrifted candle tree is adorable and stand alone pretty. I’m jealous of this find. Ha!
    I love your mantel with the gorgeous, thick swag and simple black candlesticks in a row. Simple but impactful!

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
