DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS
Winter white is oh-so chic and never drab. We played on this home’s monochromatic scheme and brightened it even more by adding plush faux fur, snow dusted florals, and shiny silver tones.
The dining room, with its oversized crystal chandelier and mirrored wall, is the focal point of this home. Playing off the reflective quality of both the mirrors and chandelier, we added mercury glass Christmas trees and frosted pine sprigs as part of the decorations. A faux fur table runner and feathered wreath softens the reflection and becomes the perfect visual anchor. To finish off the space, minimal greenery adds hints of festive cheer
Using the dining room as our template, we sprinkled the same luxury décor throughout the home. Jeweled reindeer, twinkle lights, and flocked branches transform this abode into a majestic winter wonderland.
