The Pickering College Holiday Home Tour brought festive cheer and creative inspiration to the season, and Ivish Interiors was proud to contribute to the magic with a home that truly celebrated the holidays in style. Inspired by the beauty of nature and the joy of holiday traditions, our Pinecones and Peppermints design was a harmonious blend of rustic charm and timeless elegance.
Nature Meets Tradition: The Design Inspiration
At Ivish Interiors, we believe every space tells a story. For this holiday home, the story began with the homeowner’s love for nature, inspiring a look that brought the outdoors in. Picture a tranquil winter forest where fresh evergreen branches and the scent of pine fill the air. this serene foundation was paired with classic holiday touches—peppermint-striped ornaments, warm red accents, and shimmering gold details—to create a nostalgic and welcoming atmosphere.
A live tree stood as the centerpiece of the home, adorned with ornaments that complemented the theme and filled the air with its natural fragrance. Lush garlands draped along mantel and staircases added texture and movement, while beautiful floral arrangements in vibrant reds and crisp whites tied the entire design together. These florals were a celebration of the season, echoing the colour palette and infusing elegance into every corner.
A Palette of Holiday Cheer
The colour palette for this home was carefully curated to capture the spirit of the season:
- Warm Reds brought vibrancy and warmth, reminiscent of cranberries and holiday ribbons.
- Fresh Whites added a crisp, clean contrast, echoing freshly fallen snow.
- Deep Pine Greens created a connection to nature and grounded the design.
- Touches of Gold provided a festive shimmer, elevating the natural tones.
- Natural Wood Tones tied everything together with an earthy, rustic charm.
This harmonious palette balanced the vibrancy of the holidays with the calming beauty of nature, creating a look that was both festive and timeless.
Holiday Decorating Tips
Want to bring this festive magic into your own home? Here are two simple tips to get you started:
- Start with fresh greenery: A live tree or garlands of real evergreen branches make a stunning visual impact and fill your home with the crisp, inviting scent of the holidays.
