How to Introduce Holiday Décor Into Every Room

We’re getting ready to reimagine our spaces for the holiday season… 

and one of our favorite ways to get started is to look through what we’ve done in years past, find inspiration, and start collecting new pieces or ideas we may want to incorporate.  

Each space brings new opportunities for adding festive touches, cozy textures, and heirloom favorites, and we can hardly wait to deck our halls in the upcoming months.  

Here are some of our favorite holiday decor moments in every room: 

Holiday decor in the entryway 

There are so many ways to introduce your seasonal decor in the entryway. We love incorporating greenery through wreaths, mini trees, or winter foliage and layering holiday accents like decorative trees, bells, or even styled ornaments. 

Holiday décor in the great room 

In the great room, usually, our primary focus is the tree. However, if you don’t celebrate with one or if you have it in a different space, there are still plenty of ways to incorporate the feeling of a cozy, celebratory atmosphere. Pile on the layers of pillows and throws, style a wintery candle and add metallic accents for a little extra dimension.  

Holiday decor in the kitchen + dining room   

The kitchen and dining spaces can be easy to forget about when it comes to holiday decor, but it’s a great place to get creative. We love incorporating greenery in unexpected ways, styling jars filled with holiday treats, and displaying bowls with seasonal produce. 

Holiday decor in bonus spaces 

While you can stick to your main areas when decorating for the holidays, sometimes it’s fun to add a little cheer to other spaces in the home, too! At The McGee Home, we always decorate the mantel in the master bedroom, the upstairs hallway reading nook, and even the mudroom.
