Festive Decor That Say "We Love the Holidays" Without Going Overboard

Red and green not your thing? Opt for gold and ivory — it's a classically chic combination that always feels sophisticated. Find it in this cotton velvet Rizzy Pillow ($50), which features a forest of pine trees, each one outlined by metallic embroidery. Toss one on your sofa for an understated but festive moment.

The 12 handmade ornaments in this Ameico Bauhaus Ornament Set ($195) would look stunning on a tree, but why not think outside the box? Imagine them in a doorway or strung along a mantel for a modern look. "Modern," of course, is a relative term here; originally designed nearly 100 years ago, these ornaments still look daring today.

If everyone else on your street has a pine wreath, why not adorn your door with something a little different? This Home Accent Olive Wreath ($71) wraps strands of faux-olive foliage around a base of twisted twigs, creating a fresh-looking alternative to the holiday decor you're seeing everywhere else. (Better still, you can use it all year round!)

This Tamilee Decors Mantel Garland ($350) is a definite investment in holiday decor, but it makes enough of a statement that you might not need anything else to set a festive mood. The big, faux-evergreen garland is designed by the same studio that decks the halls of Harrods in London and the gates of Tokyo Disneyland, so you know that it's going to feel magical.

If you're hanging stockings this season, may we suggest this deep-green J. Queen New York Sparkle Stocking ($59)? It's made with plush satin and shiny bugle beads that reflect light beautifully. A series along the mantel is a stunning assemblage, but a single stocking is charming when hung from an exterior door knocker, too.

What will Bubbe think when she sees this ceramic Tchotchke Ceramic Bubble Menorah ($118) in your window? Let's be real, she'll probably have questions about it — but she'll also ooh and aah over how gorgeously the candlelight reflects off of its ultraglossy surface.

Bottlebrush trees have steadily grown in popularity, but the quality and color selection can be hit or miss. (Mostly miss.) Not so with a Cody Foster Modern Holiday Bottlebrush Trees Set ($50), which bundles six pretty pines in expertly curated color families — pinks! corals! winter whites! — that look lovely when grouped together.

Made of organic cotton and linen, this Ekelund Weavers Hjartbo Table Square ($69) doesn't have to be for holidays, but that red-and-white pattern sure does feel festive, doesn't it? The square is woven in Sweden by a centuries-old, family-owned business that supplies none other than the Royal Court of Sweden. Place it atop a white tablecloth for a simple, pretty tablescape fit for literal royalty.

Minimalists will love this Ferm Living Star Christmas Calendar ($89), whose slim profile fits well in apartments and kids' rooms. Made of cotton canvas, it's adorned with printed stars; you supply the little surprises for each numbered pocket.
