This Christmas, channel a cozy, curated look with Beyond the Vine. Owner Rose McCormick has created a winter wonderland, each corner a different aesthetic to match the needs of any client.
Holiday decorating, she says, starts with consistent color. While pinks may not be traditional, an easy way to blend pops of color is to layer neutral with soft hues. Match pinks with charcoal and burgundy to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Greens can extend beyond the branches of the tree. Use deep emeralds layered with cream and taupe to create depth with what McCormick has coined her “new neutral.”
“You don’t have to stay true to one shade. I am all about mixing them purposefully so that it all looks blended. In interiors, it isn’t so matchy, so we can carry that through in Christmas decor as well,” McCormick says.
Nostalgia can remain this season, paired with a unifying element and color. Take the sentimental ornaments and pair them with a ribbon or pick detail to bring together your mementos.
For lighting, incandescent strands offer a softer, dreamy glow, and dramatic toppers add height without overspending. Finally, remember that bigger is better. “If you want a cohesive, uniform look for the tree, it’s better to buy two main elements and plenty of them,” McCormick says. Aim for 15–20 ornaments, layering large to small for depth and magic.
