Are you ready for some holiday decorating inspiration? October is the perfect time to start gathering ideas and new pieces for your festive decor. In November, start adding greenery and twinkle lights to brighten up those dark days. Remember, there’s no pressure to follow a specific schedule – do what works best for you. For us, the holiday season kicks off with a family ornament hanging party the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It’s a night filled with joy and holiday magic, and the celebrations continue from there on out. No holding back, no shame, just pure happiness. Whatever your schedule may be, real or faux, long or short, make sure to spread out the fun and enjoy the twinkling lights for two whole months.

Wreath | Folding Paper Tree Set | Folding Paper Ornament | Christmas Village | “Gumdrop” Velvet Pillows | Faux Fur Throw Blanket | Gold Throw Blanket | Side Table
As we dive into holiday decor, let’s explore some new pieces from AllModern. The wreaths and garlands are lush and full, perfect for adding a touch of festive charm to your home. I’m particularly excited about the stockings and accordion paper trees from their collection – they are sure to elevate our holiday decor this year. The color palette and textures work seamlessly together, creating a joyful and traditional look that I love.
Our Favorite New Stockings

The stockings in ochre and cream checkered pattern are made of chunky knitted wool, adding a cozy and festive touch to your decor. The colorway complements jewel tones beautifully, making them a versatile addition to your holiday setup. Consider adding these well-made and trendy stockings to your collection this year for a fresh look.
Great Non-Holiday, “Holiday” Pillows

“Gumdrop” Velvet Pillows | Wreath
The cut velvet pillows in jewel tones are soft, high quality, and perfect for mixing and matching. The 4′ wreath is a standout piece, ideal for adding a festive touch to your space. Consider dressing up faux wreaths with ribbons, bells, or ornaments to bring them to life. The bigger the wreath, the bigger the bow.
A Solidly Good Faux Tree

Faux Christmas Tree | 3-Tier Serving Tray | Tree Skirt
Whether you prefer real or faux trees, the key is to find one that suits your style. A Nordic-style faux tree can be just as beautiful and convenient as a real one. Consider the benefits of a faux tree, such as the ability to hold heavier ornaments and the ease of decorating. This pre-lit fur tree is a great option for a warm and inviting holiday display.

Large Glass Ornaments (Rose Gold, Green) | Café Latte Ornaments
Add a touch of elegance to your tree with some beautiful glass ornaments. The reflective quality of the glass adds a festive sparkle to your decor. Mix and match with handmade ornaments for a personalized touch. The smaller “Café Latte” ornaments in blush and ivory tones are a lovely addition to any tree.
