Philly's Favorite Christmas Decor Ideas 2021

Check out our favorite elegant Christmas decorations for the 2021 holiday season. This year, we're focusing on decor that represents the season more than just one celebration. Our favorite ideas can fall comfortably into the background of your home or business, while still bringing the holiday cheer. If you're looking for subtle elegance this Christmas, look no further.

Everything's Better in Twos

An easy method to keep your decorating simple while not losing any luster is buying in doubles. Two gorgeous wreaths on either side of a fireplace, coordinated window displays, and the like. With the right home, Christmas + symmetry is stunning. Mixing the symmetrical and asymmetrical can create an off-kilter look you'll love this season.

Ivory, Cream, and All The Others

Step one to an elegant Christmas is creating your own blend of white tones. Ivory, cream, snow-white, pearl, you name it. Building a combination white palette creates a luxurious creamy look that screams out comfort. Combining multiple shades of white to create a layered table setting is the perfect basis for a lush green centerpiece. Ready for even more magic? Accent your white Christmas with touches of gold and green foliage. 

Bring the Outdoors Inside

And we're not just talking about the tree. Make use of pieces like branches, pinecones, or even antlers, like pictured below. Using natural pieces gives your home a timeless look. Our emphasis here is on decorations you won't have to stress about putting away, and nature nails that. A bowl of pinecones, gold tones hidden throughout your home, and green foliage in every pocket. All of these create a subtle festive spirit that transitions easily into your normal decor.

Don't Limit Yourself to Red & Green

The signature Christmas colors obviously look outstanding together, especially when you add in gold tones. But this season, we're loving a few added jewel tones. Purple and green glasses, honey-colored candles, and emerald green napkin rings come together to create a bright and festive tablescape. The key to this look is layers. Figure out your pallet, and layer as many tones as you'd like. Starting with neutral linens is the perfect base for your colorful Christmas.

Don't Forget the Kitchen

Never limit your decor to the room that hosts your tree. Often rooms like the kitchen or bathroom are forgotten when it comes to decor. Consider adding simple touches like a wreath above the stove, some greenery on the counter, or a golden candle on the bathroom sink. These little accents will be enough to carry the holiday magic all throughout your home.
