Let’s discuss preparing our living spaces for the upcoming holiday season, a time for gatherings with friends and family. Em has emphasized the importance of having “House Pride,” and I can relate to wanting my home to look its best when hosting guests. While friends will love us regardless of any mess or unfinished rooms, there’s a special joy in having a well-designed space that reflects our personality. With the holiday season being a prime time for sales, it’s a great opportunity to enhance our spaces with pieces that we’ve been eyeing. Wayfair, known for its extensive and affordable inventory, has partnered with us for this post, and I’m excited to share some inspiration with you.

Welcome to my cozy living room, where I’ve curated a blend of modern and traditional elements. I opted for a charcoal sectional for ample seating, paired with a chocolate brown rug to add warmth. The solid wood coffee table and dark wood side table create visual interest, while a woven door credenza and brass floor lamp add texture and brightness. The mix of light-toned pillows and throws, including trendy burgundy accents, brings the room to life. Let’s now add some Christmas charm…
