Pro tip, or just some thing I’ve learned - take pictures of what you’ve decorated so far with the items you have, as well as other items you plan to use. Then, when you go shopping, you can match better. 😊😊😊 And take pics of areas you want to decorate, so if you see something that would go perfectly, buy it! Lol

@jenmurphy7777 6 ай бұрын

Would you ever consider a thin, sleek, light coloured wooden mantle? It would bring a touch of colour to the area and you can place greenery, little items or stockings to decorate.

@outloudkat 6 ай бұрын

Idea: put the blue glass tree under your TV in your bedroom for the height. If the tree is open on the bottom, stuff some copper wire fairy lights in there!

@jenmurphy7777 6 ай бұрын

Great idea! Spray paint it first if the colour doesn't work.

@_MelissaS 6 ай бұрын

I think if you put warm toned pillows (cognac leather kind of tones) on the couch and a darker blanket on the chair, it would balance the room out, maybe warmer accessories on the coffee table too. I’d also suggest a small drink table or tall basket, maybe a floor lamp beside the chair so that it’s not there alone, it would help ground it. For in front of the fireplace, some tall decor is needed on either side in different heights, trees and/or nutcracker that’s a single colour would look good.

@SBubbles706 6 ай бұрын

My thoughts while you were decorating. What I would do if it were my home, so, take it or leave it 😉: 1. Garland over the mirror in the living room. 2. Wreaths on windows and your range hood. 3. You need bells. 4. Pine cones and cinnamon sticks in your office pumpkin bowl. 5. Put a slim Christmas tree in your bedroom to bring the vibes up stairs. 6. Sticking to adding just a couple colors, like dark green and black accents with your minimalist home would make things more cohesive. But make sure the items have texture and warmth to make an impact. Like black and green plaid blanket on the couch. Or dark green velvet throw pillows. 7. If you like the idea of adding something to your tree other than ornaments, try buying a slim, velvet ribbon to tie to some of the branches. 8. Symmetry tends to look good with modern or minimalist decor. Instead of going asymmetrical. 9. Possibly add a 4ft ish tree or something else that size by the fireplace to add interest to that corner.

LOVE your style Tara!! Maybe borrow a chair from your office instead of the wood one? And maybe you and your dad could build a shelf table under the TV and above fireplace that you can use to decorate at Christmas and then put away? You can stain it to a colour that matches the other table across the room? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@krissyk354 6 ай бұрын

love the decor so far. from what you have, i'd say everything is coming together. whenever you go back to target, home sense or any other store, i would get a few minimal decorations to fill in the space. anything white, beige and or black. other than that, it's looking good 🥰 also, i think the wreath will look so cute on your bedroom door. as for the tv/fireplace, i would say, just have twinkle lights around it. personally i don't think it needs anything in the middle. lights with some acorns on it would be cute. 😊

❄️I think Christmas ornaments, like red and gold balls or something, would look really good in the bowl in the office! I also think a wreath about the TV would look really good! Even a wreath above each window in the living room would look super cute- maybe the space in between the bottom window and top window if that makes sense? Excited for your upcoming vlogs!!! And LOVE your travel videos! If you ever have time to I would love to see a video about all the books you have read and reviews and also a video about your travel planning techniques especially for international! ❤️

@taylorjamieson8019 6 ай бұрын

I'm loving the chair in the living room. If you wanted to make it look more intentional you could get a very small circular side table to put beside it and a tall lamp that sits behind the table (create sort of a triangle with the 3 items). It could become a little reading setup, even if you don't plan to read there. Also, if you want to tie the coffee table and chair together to make things cohesive, maybe try a tray in a light wood on top of the table.

@suzan7161 6 ай бұрын

Hi Tara. You can use the amazing Command Hooks to string your garland. It won't hurt your walls or any other furniture you stick them on. And it's easy to remove. I like your wooden chair there by the window, maybe put a Xmas pillow on the chair to add color. Just a suggestion. ❤

Love the start of the decor for the Holiday season. As for the fireplace, I think just a small mantel in the same wood finish as your kitchen cabinets would be pretty. It would give you just a small area for decor and would add to the fireplace.

Hi! Edit: okay hear me out!!!! A Christmas tree canopy tent with pillows and blankets inside as a reading nook! It's basically a few slates of posts tied at the top with fabric and garland, lights and tree ornaments wrapped around the top and legs! Google it cause I'm definitely not doing it justice!

idea for above your fireplace/tv: put a wreath or something and hang it up with a command hook. I feel like it would really tie it together with the tree especially looking at it from the kitchen. Also, I love you

@JennV-B 6 ай бұрын

I think I have the exact same fireplace as you in my new build! We did that so the tv could be low enough because there’s nothing I dislike more than having a tv so high up you feel like you’re trying to look at the sky lol. I’m sad I don’t have room for a mantel though but the trade off will be worth it.

Maybe you should do a book club Tara!! That would be awesomeeeee. Also, maybe a floating shelf above the fireplace would work with your vision for the garland?

@RPPeanutButterCup 6 ай бұрын

For the garland over the fireplace, do it straight, shorter, don't hang it over the sides and just do it like a border between the tv and fireplace, spaced evenly between the two. Add little sprigs of snowy pines or cranberries for pops of color if you want.

You definitely need some kind of mantle above the fireplace for the garland to work! Also a huge wreath above the TV would be amazing! I think some kind of ornaments on the tree would add so much to the Christmas vibe! I know your home is minimal and neutral, but try adding some color to the decor for the holiday seasons and that will also add to the coziness! As a maximalist, I'm over here thinking "this girl barely has any decor!" 😂😂 much love!❤

Chair good. Blanket over the edge good. Add a side table or that basket to anchor it. That way it has intention in the space and not just set there hoping to fit in.
