Nicole Fisher, who bases her BNR Interiors firm in New York’s Hudson Valley, likes to blend the time-tested colors of Christmas with fresh twists. Instead of the usual wreath, hang a set of Terrain’s leather and silver sleigh bells. A slim, white-lighted tree would look enchanting on a city stoop or in a suburban yard. Home Depot’s Polar Wishes collection includes a herd of lighted white deer in various poses, as well as a sleigh and deer combo. Grandin Road also has a silhouette theme, with powder-coated metal deer and mountains. Tempaper’s white Christmas Village wall decal set gives you pine trees, deer, various buildings and an array of stars to create a silhouetted scene. Peel-and-stick removable decals can dress up a front door or street-facing windows. A few birch logs placed in a galvanized steel or enameled planter, with pine or cedar boughs and some faux or real moss bedding the pot, will look inviting with or without a strand of warmly hued fairy lights. If heading off to a cozy cabin is more aspirational than doable, you can still achieve the chalet vibe.
“These can all hit the compost bin when the new year rolls around,” she says. String a popcorn and cranberry garland for window boxes or railings, or make a front-door wreath out of tree trimmings or fallen twigs. Professional organizer Shira Gill, whose new book, “Minimalista” (Ten Speed Press), offers decluttering tips, also suggests going biodegradable. When the holiday is over, he notes, recyclable decor can go back to nature “and help to ensure the gift of a safer earth for generations to come.”
“I really think a more natural holiday design is absolutely on point this season.” I love monochromatic gourds with a gnarly tree branch tossed in for interest and fresh greens,” he says.Įason suggests luminarias to light walkways, “and I’ve been playing around with the idea of connecting them with thick garlands and woodland elements. “But that said, I like subtle holiday design, incorporating nature and keeping it tonal.
