On Our Mood Boards: 5 Festive, Not-Seen-Everywhere Decor Ideas

Longtime readers will recall the holiday decor we’ve admired in years past: low-cost, last-minute, zero-waste, and more. This year, we’ve been spotting festive displays beyond the usual; here are five inspired takes we’ve bookmarked.

Above: Not just for children’s birthday parties: “How lovely and simple is this?” writes Fan. “It’s paper streamers, spotted via Remodelista favorite Little Mill Abergavenny.” Above: Alexa loves this Polish pająki by artist Allison Hopelain, “seen at a holiday fair in Berkeley, California curated by Sarah Lonsdale for Erica Tanov.” Photograph by Alexa Hotz. Above: From Margot, an inventive outtake from this week’s 8 Ideas for Hanukkah and Other Festive Nights: paint brush menorah by event designer David Stark. Photograph by Corrie Hogg. Above: “Simply beautiful, as always: Kate Semple’s handmade paper vessel decorations and ceramic candleholders,” writes Deborah. “You can learn how to make your own paper vessel decorations via her online tutorial here.” Above: Julie is captivated by the intricate brass designs by UK-based artist Rowan MacGregor (“I’m obsessed,” she writes). Shown is a copper and brass tree decked with ornaments, available in Rowan’s next shop release, Sunday December 14 at 7 p.m. UK time.
