Ideas from the Home for the Holidays Showhouse That You Can Do at Home
This year’s Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles holiday showhouse featured some of the best designers in Atlanta and gave us so many creative and beautiful ideas.
After writing a post similar to this last year about ideas from a showhouse that had a hospitality-focus, I decided to make it an annual tradition. This past weekend, I visited the annual Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Home for the Holidays Showhouse and saw some great ideas that I think anyone could replicate at home.
If you’re not familiar with showhouses, the ideas is, 12-20 designers are chosen and each one does a room in their own style. Then in this case, they decorate it for the holidays. Showhouses are fabulous places to get some of the best ideas from some of the most talented designers in the area.
To keep it (sort of) simple, I chose seven to share here. The images don’t do the house justice, especially as took them myself. But, since this post is just about the take-home moments, hopefully they work.
So, there you go. Find new ways to add moments of surprise and delight in your decorating this holiday.
Consider storing logs in an etargere or bottom shelf of a bookcase.
Set the table - show off that china!
Wrap the Room - you can always wrap empty boxes that coordinate with the room - they are decorations themselves.
Creative spaces - find the little nooks and lost spaces and make them the most special in the house.
Open up your coffee table books rather than just stacking them.
Display art in a cabinet, behind the dishes or other objects.
Decorate in unexpected places.
