Woodland Prep: Holiday Decor Theme
Post by Anna Passadori, Nod’s resident trend expert
Need some decorating inspiration this holiday season? Try mixing styles for a more eclectic, rich look. For this holiday decor theme, Woodland Prep, I’ve mixed a more traditional, collegiate style with an outdoor woodland feel. Parents will love the plaids and traditional colors of the preppy look, while kids will have fun with the sporty and animal references of the woodland look.
To master the preppy look, mix in family heirlooms and antiques with eclectic finds such as family portraits and monogrammed accessories. Bring out of storage items you wouldn’t normally consider décor- vintage skis and badminton racquets look fun and eclectic around the tree. For the woodland look, bring in plenty of plaid and rugby stripe patterns (they can all mix together) as well as animal motifs such as foxes, bears and sporting dogs.
A great example of a preppy & sporty mix:
A large family heirloom brings in a personal touch and makes a great style statement:
Mix family portraits with vintage and new finds:
Dress the little ones in their preppy best!
The more plaid the better!
Here are a few suggestions to try it on your own!
