ELEGANT + WELCOMING CHRISTMAS ENTRYWAY

I love welcoming the holidays and what better way to welcome your guests for the season than an elegant + welcoming Christmas entryway?

I love to create an inviting scene that will tell our guests what to expect in our home.

The best part is I kept it very simple, with the focus on our console table decor and my gorgeous new gold wreath that I recently found – stay tuned for my Christmas porch coming soon.

You may have seen our other gold wreath in our Christmas kitchen (I scored two of them!), click here if you haven’t yet!Our console table has simple, elegant lines, but can be tricky to style at times, because the middle shelf can be very limiting. It’s easy for this table to look ‘over-decorated’, so I decided to go with the same elements on both the middle and bottom shelves for a cohesive look.

Using one of my flocked wreaths hung on the mirror (with a 3M command hook), I set the stage for this wintery look keeping it neutral, with a little bit of glam thrown in the mix.

A pair of greek key ginger jars from Lauren Haskell Designs (you may have seen these in my fall living room tour, here) flank the mirror, and my collection of bottle brush trees are the perfect addition to compliment my wreath.I used a silver serving tray to ground the trees on the center of the table, and scattered a few ornaments around as well, to fill in some of the visual holes at the base of the trees.

Nothing says ‘classic’ more to me than ginger jars. I love them paired with my bottle brush trees for an elegant and festive feel.

MERCURY GLASS ORNAMENTS + VOTIVES

I wanted the shelves to be beautiful and simple, but still elegant and welcoming, so I opted to gather a collection of mercury glass ornaments and votives scattered on each shelf.

I love a grouping of candles to make a welcoming statement. These are all low enough so there’s no burning the upper shelves – always make sure you test first!

I love the wintery and cozy, but still very chic scene in here and it creates such a magical glow at night too.

I kept the rest of the space void of any other decorations, I wanted the focus to be only on the table.

Even though the palette is monochromatic, and the styling is simple, there’s still a lot happening, and I wanted to make sure there weren’t too many other distractions for your eye.

Only a simple brass lantern – which you’ve seen in different spots today! Layered whites and creams, silvers and golds are the perfect color palette for an elegant and welcoming Christmas entryway. Frosty and wintery, but still warm and inviting, with antique silver metals and touches of brass.
Stay tuned for more Christmas decorating coming soon! I’ll be sharing my front porch, living room and dining room soon!Thank you so much for joining me today, I hope you were inspired by my elegant and welcoming Christmas entryway!
