Take a step inside this gorgeously festive holiday house. It's sure to get you in the holiday spirit!
The holiday decor begins outside on the front step, with this reindeer hedge wrapped in tiny white lights. The effect is subdued but still decidedly festive, and looks wonderful lit up at night.
The front door has its own little holiday accent as well - a unique take on the traditional Christmas wreath. Instead of a circle of evergreen, these crafty homeowners chose a square of winter berries.
Upon entering the home, festive accents abound. An artfully draped garland over the front door adds drama with oversized red bulbs. Beautiful red flowers sit atop a center table, and more garland graces the stairway banister.
Traditional red poinsettias are clustered around a fireplace and mantel. Their deep red hue stands out beautifully against the white walls.

For the main room, the homeowners opted for an elegantly rustic look. Large wicker reindeer make a statement, while smaller holiday accents can be seen throughout the room - a garland on the chandelier, red ribbons tied throughout, and a single red stocking. The Christmas tree is perfectly placed in the corner, creating a balanced look.
For the fireplace and mantle in the dining room, a more subtle approach was taken. To complement the neutral walls and marble fireplace surround, white pointsettias were chosen. A thin garland with winter birds is draped over the mantle, creating a more delicate look.
Silver and gold metallic accents work perfectly with the room's neutral hues while adding some holiday shimmer.
A warm study with a second Christmas tree provides the perfect retreat for a cold night. The dark walls and paneled ceiling create a truly cozy atmosphere.
Deep, dark tones are also used to decorate the mantle and fireplace in the study.
Small festive accents like the decorated sconce light below bring added cheer to unexpected areas of the home.
