The holiday season is without a doubt my favorite time of the year. So much so that I like to get the Christmas decorations out early, the mulled wine flowing, and the festive music on full volume. When decorating for this season, I always turn to interior designer, entrepreneur, and HGTV star Joanna Gaines for yuletide inspiration. For one, Gaines and I share a penchant for decorating early, and we both prefer traditional Christmas decor ideas over modern trends and fast-fading fads.
'This year, many of us are opting for Christmas decor ideas reminiscent of a time before technology; one that was filled with the simpler pleasures in life and returning to a wholesome rustic lifestyle that celebrates simplicity, tradition, and nostalgia. For traditional Christmas decor, the key is to lean into warm tones, cozy textures, foraged decor, and vintage pieces,' says Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy's trend & design expert.
