Guest Picks: Merrily Modern Holiday Decor
Give red and green the year off with fetching decorations and tableware in metallics and white
Looking to add some merriment to your holiday decor this Christmas? Unpacking your decorations and feeling a little bored? It can happen to the best of us, no matter how much we love our past picks. This month I’ve rounded up a few of my current favorite Christmas treats from around the web. There’s a little bit of everything here: silver and gold, and fresh takes on traditional holiday decorations. I love the classics, but adding one or two of these to your holiday party will make your oldies (but goodies!) have that certain wow factor again. — Jenny from Hank and Hunt
Antique Bloom Wreath
This stunning gilded wreath is the perfect centerpiece for above the mantel or for an update to a bar.
Marais Gold Glazed Cake Stand
A gilded cake stand — need I say more? This one has a crisp, modern shape and is without all the frills that usually come with the holidays.
Malachite Champagne Flute
I love malachite; the pattern is just gorgeous. The etching on this flute looks almost like a wintry version of the stone.
Oversize Copper Mug
Classic copper mugs are ready for Moscow Mules or swanked-up hot cocoa. These would be at home on both modern and traditional tables.
Classic Tartan Plaid Napkins
Everyone should have a little plaid for the holidays. Bright red in a classic tartan feels jolly.
Threshold Ceramic Standing Deer Figural, White
I love this take on a reindeer. A simple design is hard to find, so snatch up a few while you still can. I haven’t seen any like these in years, and I know my Christmas decorations.
Threshold Decorative Tray, Red
Bright pops of red make a room feel merry, even if this tray is the only red in the room. In fact, it would be a great accent item. I could also see its being used at a barbecue next summer too.
Marimekko Kuusikossa Tray
Fun, cheerful trees in a modern black and white pattern make this the perfect plate for cookies.
Threshold Glass Double Old-Fashioned Tumbler, Silver Ombré
Vintage glasses? Nope, they just look like them. Grabbing this set is easier than hunting around on eBay; just hop over to Target ASAP.
Mercury Lantern Lights
These beautiful mercury glass hurricanes are actually a strand of Christmas lights. And I am in love with this mantel design: Just add snow and voilà.
Silver Bells Wreath
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle … wreath! Finally, here is a simple and merry wreath with no bow. It’s classic yet still modern.
Aureux Carving Knife
Serve in style! Golden serveware is stunning and would look amazing at any meal, but it really ups the wow factor for the holidays.
Glimmer-Wrapped Glassware, Silver
These glasses are modern and just got added to my bar cart collection. Even my mother-in-law loves them, and her style is much more traditional than mine.
Lily Candleholders
These remind me of vintage candlesticks. I love the gilded lily crown that holds the candle.
Entwined Tree, Ivory
A candy cane forest? This is perfect for a buffet or a hall table with tiny mercury glass ornaments for a bit of sparkle. Or hang mini muslin bags to make an Advent calendar.
Evergreen Napkin
I picture these little tree napkins on a solid white and wintry table setting. They’re a little quirky but very merry.
Luxe Moderne Glass Flutes
These are a modern take on the classic flute and come complete with gilded confetti patterns. Use them throughout the holidays up to New Year’s.
Cotton Tea Towel, Red Border
I use this tea towel in multiples as napkins, and they add a simple pop of red to the table. Plus, they are big enough to wipe up any spills from overly merry guests.
