Inspiration: A Modern Holiday

Published on November 5, 2015

You guys, Christmas is only 7 weeks away! Letters to Santa (grandparents) need to be written and wish lists made. This year will also be our first time hosting Christmas dinner, which means I need to get a menu sorted and fast! Yes, I know November just started and Thanksgiving is coming up first, but I’m slow, y’all, I need to start planning in advance so I’m not a ball of nerves as cooking day approaches.

All that aside, the most fun part comes first and that is planning the decor for a modern holiday for our new home. No surprise, but I have a Pinterest board, Modern Holiday, dedicated to all sorts of fun, creative and modern ways to celebrate Christmas- from gift wrap to decorating the tree and the house- and so in today’s post I thought I’d share some Modern Holiday inspiration images that have me so excited and looking forward to the holidays! As always, I am all about the neutrals: black, white, tan, plus pops of that gorgeous green that signals winter, all tied up in a pretty bow with copper as a metallic accent. I’m crazy about copper.

I mean, this really is the start of a perfect winter table. First, that light fixture is gorgeous, but I’m also loving the black and white runner, the scattered pinecones and the the sprigs of green. Definitely along the lines of what I’m aiming for but with more copper to glam up the tablescape. Via Styling Pics.
Shop for a copper light fixture at Urban Outfitters.

I adore this black, white and copper tree. I love the Scandinavian vibe and the plain charcoal paper gift wrap that is dressed up with simple greens and metallic bows. Everything is completely on point with my modern holiday theme. Via Stylizimo Blog.
Shop for matte charcoal wrapping paper at Amazon.

This black and white table setting, the burlap and sprig of rosemary, the beautiful kraft paper gift wrap and black satin ribbon- I mean, this is what I’m talking about. Srsly. Via Apartment 34, via Belle Vivir, photo by Michael Graydon.

This black and white tree is seriously glam. I’m especially fond of the black and white striped ribbon holding it all together. So inspired by this! Via Just Destiny Mag.
Shop for black and white striped ribbon via Etsy.

And lastly, if you are renting an apartment and maybe don’t have enough space for an actual tree or just wanted to do something a little bit different, this implied Christmas tree is perfect! It would be seriously easy and very simple to execute (just mount three floating shelves!) and you could use a variety of meaningful objects and family photos to design it. I can also see this working really nicely in a transitional space like a landing or a hallway. Via Paperblog.
Shop for photo frames at Ikea.

So there you have it! Is black, white and copper your Christmas jam or do you prefer the traditional oldie-but-goodie red and gold colour scheme?

Share your holiday decor ideas with me please!

Until next time,

xo, Naushin

DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and if I focus on Pippa, I can ignore the fact that the kids’ room hasn’t looked this tidy in weeks. Is it just me or is cleaning basically a waste of time during the holidays/pandemic?? 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️ It literally never stays clean! They’re home ALL the time. My mom is very proud of me right now, I’m sure. 😆 #sofreshmyhome
SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase to remember 2020 by it would be “Sharp contrasts”. We had our fair share of hard to believe moments and lots of jagged peaks and dips. BUT 2021 promises to be an entirely new chapter and I can’t wait to share everything with you soon! Happy New Year, friends! In the Year That Felt Like 10 Years, can you believe we finally made it to the end?? 😱🥳👏🏼#sofreshmyhome #greenrooms

FLASHBACK TO... // The days when the dining table FLASHBACK TO... // The days when the dining table was for actual eating and styling and not for remote schooling, bags of school supplies, and the occasional cat. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 How is your work/school-at-home space looking right now? #sofreshmyhome
WEEK 2 of the ORC // While we haven’t started an WEEK 2 of the ORC // While we haven’t started any kind of reno yet (the plan is to start this coming week!), lots of exciting things have happened in the powder room nonetheless. For one, the @luluandgeorgia rug has been ordered as has the stunning @sandbergwallpaper roll. Also, this beautiful gold hanger arrived from @hmhome and I’m definitely fitting it into the scheme. Mainly tho, I decided to use another piece of art from the amazing @atticapress and I am extremely excited to see this all come together! 🙌🏼😍 #oneroomchallenge #bhgorc @oneroomchallenge @betterhomesandgardens #sofreshmyhome
CANT DO IT // Not gonna lie, I’m having a real h CANT DO IT // Not gonna lie, I’m having a real hard time switching up this mantel decor. Every time I look at it, it brings my monochrome-loving heart so.much.joy! 😍 #sofreshmyhome
FLASHBACK FRI // Not only am I really missing havi FLASHBACK FRI // Not only am I really missing having a rug in here altho not missing this exact rug 🤣, I’m also really missing having this tree all alive and stuff, you know? It’s got guts, I won’t lie. It’s hanging on. But it is also looking very grim. 🤦🏻‍♀️ If I ever write a book, it’ll be called Plants: WTF? 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ #sofreshmyhome

IT’S TIME! // I kinda can’t believe I’m doin IT’S TIME! // I kinda can’t believe I’m doing my first ever One Room Challenge! Eek! I am so excited! 👏🏼 This Powder Room Moodboard saw some major changes today as per usual haha. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I’m very much a go-with-your-gut designer and my journey usually involves creating a board based on a mood and then veering off the path completely as I experiment and chase ideas, and then, happily, coming right back to the feel I started out with. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ For this powder room, my inspo was heavily driven by my beloved Scandinavian design, this time veering into Swedish country house territory. Think thoughtful wallpaper and desaturated colours and of course a graphic pop because it is, after all, still my home. 😀 I can’t honestly say how the finished room will look- no doubt some things will change along the way (possibly the lighting? 🤔) but this is what’s in my head right now and I hope I can make it happen! 😍 The blog post with aaalll the details will be up tomorrow! 👉🏼 Now tell me what you think! #oneroomchallenge @oneroomchallenge @betterhomesandgardens #bhgorc
CHALLENGING TIMES AHEAD! // This is the face of a CHALLENGING TIMES AHEAD! // This is the face of a cat who has zero effs to give about the @oneroomchallenge unlike ME who signed up and is ready to makeover... our powder room!! 👏🏼🎉 Remember when I asked y’all to vote in my Stories? Well, our bedroom and the powder room were miles ahead in the poll AND tied, so it just came down to good old time and money. I can’t wait! I’m loving my moodboard and I think you will too! 😀🤟🏼 #sofreshmyhome #navyblueandprettytoo
