In a space with a soaring ceiling, take the opportunity to make your décor as dramatic as the architecture. Repeating the same element across an entire wall (or wall of windows, as the design team did with these “snow”-covered wreathes at HGTV Dream Home 2018) makes a big impact without overwhelming the space.

Candlelight, firelight, and the twinkle of white holiday lights create a warm, inviting atmosphere in any room. Be sure to use unscented candles in any space where you’ll be serving holiday goodies so heavy fragrances won’t compete with the aromas and fragrances of your delicious foods. Candle sticks add height and elevated style to the coffee table.

Choose wrapping paper, ribbon, and other gift-adornments that coordinate with your holiday decorating color scheme. Then, arrange presents beneath and around your tree so they’ll add an enticing design element until the big day.

Weighted stocking hangers look pretty on the mantel and protect it from the damage of hooks or adhesives. Look for a style that repeats a motif you’ll use elsewhere in the room or house; these silver reindeer figures echo the reindeer pictured on the sofa pillows, for example.
