Yes, the holidays are here. And, yes, the way things fall on the calendar this year, it\u2019s a shorter runway between the big events. And yet, getting your home dressed up for the moments ahead is worth it. No, really.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s the cold, the weariness, or simply the deep yearning for a soft place to land, but there\u2019s such a pull this time of year to transform our homes into cozy, peaceful wonderlands. To turn our everyday spaces into something warmly welcoming, whispering of nostalgia, and primed and ready for making new \u201cforever\u201d memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wonderland you seek is seeking you. And, there\u2019s still time to make design and decor dreams come true in your home. Today we\u2019ll unwrap a few handy DIY<\/a> tricks \u2014 with an emphasis on upholstery fabrics, of course \u2014 to help you create your favorite festive feels in your home this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s fair to say a few foundational elements set the stage for the vibe of most homes. There\u2019s the size and shape of the space itself, the colors of the walls and floors, and then there\u2019s the furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your furniture plays an outsized role in setting your home\u2019s welcoming tone (or not). The glorious upside of that is your furniture also offers an outsized opportunity when you want to add some special snuggle-up-for-the-holidays feel to your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort\u2026<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lean into the foundational trends of the year with large pieces in warm and earthy neutrals like birch<\/a> beige or creamy<\/a> cotton white and set your space up for calming hygge vibes while also cleansing the visual palette so holiday accents that bring you joy can take center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the joy of dining chairs donning an oh-so-soft-to-the-touch holiday gift dressed in deep hunter-green<\/a> textured velvet or rich claret<\/a> red ikat woven velvet. The holidays are the perfect time for the coziest of textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong> Once again, we sing the praises of slipcovers<\/a>. Temporarily changing the look and texture of your primary furniture pieces can be as simple or in-depth as you choose. And then they can be folded up and easily stored away when the holidays have passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
