How to Tastefully Decorate Your Home for the Holidays

The holiday season is a magical time of year, and here to make it even more magical is owner and head designer of Allium Floral Design, Sarah Petryk. The renowned visionary transformed this local home into a winter wonderland, and, now, she’s spilling her unique tips and tricks to recreate the dreamlike masterpiece.

The Greenery

Gather cut greenery from outside to decorate the mantle. Petryk says an occasional mist in a home that isn’t too hot or too dry will allow greens to last about two weeks. If you are having a holiday party, try adding some greenery just for the evening and let your guests enjoy the amazing scent. Petryk notes that the more texture, the better, so try to work in a few types of evergreen when possible.

The Tree

Keeping this family’s little ones in mind, Petryk decked the Christmas tree with fabric, avoiding glass ornaments. It’s a simple switch when pets or children are a concern.


The Color Palette

The chosen mix of forced bulbs, magnolia leaf and citrus gives the table an unexpected color palette for the holiday season.
