A natural arrangement with pine cones and pumpkins will get you in the holiday mood, and it’s easy to do it yourself!
This photo from Canadian House & Home demonstrates a very clean, sophisticated, yet cozy look that we love right now. We really like the way the neutral fabrics work with the wood tones and the pop of navy on the armchairs. A good way to get in the holiday spirit is adding a magnolia wreath on a window or door.

The key to a well balanced buffet or chest display is having some kind of tall object to add height. Oak branches this time of year are a perfect way to accomplish this simple style tip. Try placing a few branches with acorns in a tall vase or hurricane and even throw in oranges or lemons to add color.
This turquoise hurricane available at Whittington Design Studio is the perfect size and color.
