A CozyByZ Introduction
If you already saw my Winter Farmhouse Tray post, this is the festive follow-up you've been waiting for. I took the same base setup and added small holiday touches--nothing over the top, just simple details that warm things up for December.
If you prefer a more neutral winter look, you can read the original version here:
1. Add a candle (or two) --Holiday Glow Lighting
Soft light instantly takes a tray from neutral to winter-warm. Wood, ceramic or even brass holders work for that rustic feel. For a holiday glow, swap to a warmer candle, add fairly lights or tuck tiny ornaments and berries to bring Christmas decor to life. These changes make the vignette "holiday ready".
Holiday Festive Naturals
Already have the mugs and greenery? Just add to it. Add some cinnamon sticks and, of course, gingerbread men. Some fairly lights and your decor reads "holiday!
3. Include a Cozy Mug
Change your mugs to something more "holiday" Maybe add a more Holiday throw. The rustic farmhouse vibe stays intact with a few cinnamon sticks, berries and, of courser, my favorite-a gnome!
4. Mix in Natural Textures
Litte touches of red (cinnamon candle?) with some holiday decor (read-jingle bells). Keeps that holiday vibe with few changes.
5. Keep the Palette Calm
Whites, creams, and pops of red with a candle and a Christmas pillow can add holiday spirit to a simple vingette.
