How to Style Post-Holiday Winter Decorations in Your Home

We are going to be using some winter decorations, which I'm so excited to share with you. Once Christmas is over, I find myself looking for winter decorating ideas to keep enjoying the beauty of the season. I use many thrifted items, so you can easily create this look on a budget.

Winter entryway

I added this lamp that I picked up at a thrift shop.

I decided to change the lampshade because I wanted to do something a little bit more vintage-looking, so I went with this pleated one from Target. Then, moving to the right, next to the lamp, I added these books.

Some of these are thrifted, this one is the Feels Like Home, you can find that one on Amazon. On top of that, I just added a book placed in the opposite direction: I like having the flipped look just to keep it a little bit cleaner and minimal.

On top of the Paris Living Rooms book, I added a vintage clay pot.

Next, I added the brass little tray from Target, from their newest release, and a Casaluna candle.

On the opposite side, I added a vase from Hobby Lobby with some branches from outside.

Last but not least, I added my favorite piece from the Studio McGee collection, a sitting woman portrait.

Living room

This is our formal living room.

We're going to start with my coffee table, where I added this marble tray and put a candle and a little candle with a trimmer on it.

I also placed a vase from HomeGoods next to the tray. I took some branches from the tree outside my house because I thought it would be the perfect way to describe winter. It evokes the feeling of the leaves being gone and the branches just being bare outside. Next to that, I included this Down to Earth book.

I really love this specific page, so I opened it up to that page and then placed a magnifying glass on top of it for visual interest.

Next are these books from Etsy; they're empty inside.

They’re basically a shell of a book, designed to look like a book while functioning as a storage box. I haven't seen anything like this before, but they're like your very expensive decor books, but they're very functional; I think that is so much better than paying a hundred dollars for the architectural digest book.

Moving to the opposite side of my couch, I added this pretty blanket.

I don't change it out because it's my favorite blanket, so I just draped it on the side with no intention to do it. I didn't try and perfect it or anything.

Next is my console table, which I finally found a place for. I really like the way it looks here, and what I did here for a focal point is to create a makeshift lamp.

Right next to that, I added a paper mache bowl.

This is the finished console table decor.

Last but not least, I fluffed up my ottomans and called it a day.
