The holiday season is all about creating a space that feels uniquely yours, and when it comes to decorating, everyone has a personality style that speaks to them!
Whether you’re drawn to timeless classics or prefer a modern twist, discovering your holiday personality style can bring an extra layer of joy to your space. Here’s a look at our five personality styles to inspire your decorating this season.
If you’re a fan of the tried-and-true, The Twinkling Traditionalist is a perfect fit. Picture rich reds, deep greens, and touches of gold for a timeless, sophisticated look. Classic holiday decor often includes evergreen garlands, twinkling lights, and statement pieces like a beautifully adorned Christmas tree or a wreath with ribbon accents.
It’s all about traditional colors and iconic decorations that stand the test of time. The goal? A festive, elegant look that fills your space with holiday spirit and a hint of nostalgia.
Do you find joy in sentimental ornaments, family traditions, and vintage decor? The Noel Nostalgic holiday style is perfect for creating that cozy, heartwarming atmosphere that takes you back in time.
With an emphasis on heirlooms, handmade ornaments, and classic patterns like plaid and pinstripes, this style celebrates cherished memories and a “home for the holidays” feel. Think vintage figurines, collected items, and pops of multicolor sprinkled throughout, bringing a retro feel that’s both comforting and full of cheer.
For those who love sleek lines and minimalism, The Merry Modernist holiday decor brings a fresh twist to traditional themes. Neutral colors, metallic accents, and unexpected elements like asymmetrical wreaths or abstract ornaments define this style.
The Merry Modernist look often incorporates unconventional decor pieces and clean aesthetics, opting for whites, blacks, and metallics instead of the typical holiday palette. This style is about simplicity with a bold, stylish edge that feels sophisticated and effortless.
The Cottage Christmas Charmer holiday style is all about warmth, coziness, and a touch of rustic charm. If you gravitate toward soft textures, handmade crafts, and vintage-inspired decor, this style offers a storybook style.
Expect to see natural textures like burlap, cozy knit blankets, pine cones, and touches of gingham or tartan patterns. Cottage Christmas Charmer decor mixes cozy charm with holiday cheer, creating a welcoming space that feels both relaxed and festive – like a warm winter retreat.
If the outdoors inspire you, The Organic Ornamental holiday style brings the beauty of the natural world into your home. Think earthy tones, natural textures, and decor pieces crafted from materials like wood, pine cones, and cypress sprays.
Nature-inspired holiday decor often embraces minimalism with a focus on organic, sustainable materials and muted colors. To create this look, blend greenery and neutral accents for a calm, serene setting that’s as refreshing as a winter walk in the woods.
No matter your personality style, there’s something special about making your space reflect what feels most like “home” during the holidays. So, find the decor that speaks to you and let your personality shine through as you deck the halls!
