Play With Symmetry

If the architecture of your room is symmetrical, hang the same wreath in all of your windows at the same height. You can use the wreaths as jumping-off points for spacing out the rest of your seasonal elements.

Use Fun Materials

Garland is one of the most iconic elements for adding holiday style to your home, but you can get creative with unexpected materials in place of a traditional garland. In this formal living room, the wreaths are wrapped in red, black and white cotton ribbon to add a classic yet masculine touch with a pop of red. As a bonus, any ribbon that isn't cut can be used for gift wrap.

Pile on the Layers

Traditional rooms are best decorated with layers, and the key to a well-layered holiday home is to fill rooms with a mix of interesting textures. The lush greenery of the wreaths contrasts perfectly with the nubby, woven fibers of the throw pillows while the merlot-toned flowers introduce new shades of red into the space.
