Holiday Decor for a Cozy, Collected Home this Season

Facebook Pin Email

There’s something about the holidays that makes our homes feel extra magical. The glow of twinkle lights, the scent of pine and cinnamon, the soft textures that invite everyone to slow down. This is the season where homes really shine!

Last year I didn’t do much decorating from being first trimester can’t-get-out-of-bed pregnancy sick last year, ha! So I am beyond excited to pull out the bins of garland and ornaments this year ☺️🎄 I KNOW it’s only October but the prettiest pieces tend to sell out early. So I’ve put together my annual holiday shop for you and I swear I’ve found the most charming holiday decor across the internet 🙂

I definitely don’t buy all new each year, but rather I mix old favorites with a few new finds that make our space feel fresh yet familiar. I like to think of holiday decorating as storytelling—the way your home tells a story of your family, your memories, and your style. And old/nostalgic pieces tell the best stories.

My Decorating Approach: Simple, Warm, and Collected

Instead of going overboard, I focus on layering cozy touches throughout the house. I want it to feel collected, not cluttered.

Twinkle lights and candles for that instant glow.
Greenery to bring the outdoors in.
Classic plaids and soft neutrals to keep everything timeless and calm.
Sentimental ornaments that spark joy year after year.

This year, I rounded up my favorite holiday decor finds for the Everything Erin storefront. I have scoured the internet and am telling you these are the prettiest decor pieces you’ve ever seen! They will help create that cozy, storybook feeling we all crave this time of year.

My Favorite Holiday Decor Finds

1. Brass Bells & Garland

A must for adding warmth and charm. Hang them on your staircase, across a mantel, or drape them over a mirror for instant festive cheer.

2. Cozy Knit Stockings

These look beautiful mixed and matched. Think creams, soft patterns, and subtle texture. I love a slightly mismatched look that feels layered and collected.

3. Ceramic or Paper Houses

These are a favorite for creating that magical glow on a console table or windowsill. Add battery-operated candles inside for the sweetest nighttime twinkle.

4. Wreaths That Work Beyond Christmas

A simple evergreen or juniper wreath feels classic all winter long. Hang one on your range hood, windows, or bedroom doors for a subtle seasonal touch.

5. Holiday Pillows & Throws

I’m all about adding just a few cozy textiles to shift the mood of a space—like a plaid pillow on the sofa or a sherpa throw at the end of the bed.

6. Timeless Tree Decor

Think linen ribbons, wooden ornaments, and glass baubles that shimmer softly. These feel nostalgic without being fussy.

The Heart of Holiday Decorating

The best holiday decor isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating spaces that feel warm, lived-in, and full of love. Whether you’re sipping cocoa by the tree or baking cookies with the kids, it’s those little details that make the season shine.
