Simple holiday greenery, twinkling lights, and lots of rich texture come together to create this cozy Christmas home tour for the holidays.
Today, not only am I so excited to share our own holiday home tour, but I’m thrilled to be teaming up with a wonderful group of bloggers to bring you all sorts of holiday decor inspiration through the Very Merry Christmas Home Tour. Linked up at the bottom of this post you’ll find 16 other beautiful home tours filled to the brim with holiday inspiration.
Our Holiday home tour is always one of my favourite posts to share each year. Filled with rich textures, twinkling lights and loads of holiday nostalgia, I don’t think our home ever feels cozier than when it’s all decked out for the holidays!
Sure, Christmas is going to look a little different this year, and I know there’s so much we’re going to miss about it all, but we fully intend to make the most of it. We’ve got some big plans for our holiday season this year – nothing too extravagant really, just a whole lot more time to snuggle in and enjoy the simple things, making some special holiday memories with our little family.
I think you’ll find that this year’s holiday home tour is definitely a reflection of that – a cozy simplicity with some nostalgic touches that truly make our home feel more cozy + welcoming than ever.
So, grab yourself a warm cup of coffee and come on in…
Our entryway is always one of my favourite spots to decorate in our home. I’d always wanted a stair railing to drape with garland – I just think it brings that quintessential holiday charm.
Our entryway opens right into our living room, with our kitchen and dining area tucked in behind. I think having one big open space makes decorating for the holidays so much easier because each little piece of decor can visually carry through to all of the different spaces.
I think the key to cozy holiday decor (or cozy decor in general really) is creating lots of layers with various textures, patterns and even lighting. Though much of this space is still quite neutral (aside from those gorgeous holiday plaids), it still feels rich and cozy with all of the warm fabrics, lighting and greenery layered in.
This little corner has become my very favourite this year. I LOVE all of the cozy fabrics and the way those more traditional holiday colours pop against it all.
There are just so many pretty little details to take in throughout this one little corner.
And of course, that sparkling tree with it’s pearl bead garland and mercury glass ornaments is pretty special too (you can read more about this year’s tree and how I decorated it here).
I always love the way the sun pours in through these windows each evening as it sets. It always makes for such a pretty view while I cook dinner. And here’s the view from our living room.
A bit of greenery and a few pops of those traditional holiday colours help to tie our kitchen and dining spaces in with our living room, making it all feel like one big, cozy space.
The decor continues into the back of our house as well – through our mudroom and into our back family room.
We’re in the process of finishing our basement at the moment (you can check it out here if you’re curious), which means we’re having to rework a few other spaces around the house. Our back family room is feeling rather empty at the moment as we start moving furniture down to the basement, so I didn’t add much in here.
But I can never resist decorating this beautiful old piano.
And that’s it friends! I hope you enjoyed this year’s holiday home tour and found some inspiration to help make your home feel warm + cozy this Christmas season as well!

Your home looks beautiful decorated for Christmas, Kristi! I’ve never thought about using black ribbon for Christmas and I love the look. It looks fabulous on your mantel and with your lighted garland. Love your stocking tags and how you decorated your piano for the season. Enjoy every minute of this Christmas season!

Kristi it all looks so gorgeous! I love the simple touches and the plaid! I have been obsessing over garland this year and you have done it perfectly!
Awww, well thank you so much Wendy!
Everything is beautiful! Every detail is just lovely – the garland on the banister sets the perfect tone and the black ribbon looks so elegant. I love the tree and your mantel. And the pops of green and red in the kitchen have me wanting to get some garland over our kitchen window. Just a lovely tour – thanks for sharing.
Thank you so, so much Kim! Wishing you the merriest Christmas!
Your home looks so beautiful and cozy decorated from Christmas. You’ve added so many beautiful touches, but I think my favorite is those cute stocking tags tied on with ribbon. So pretty!
Thank you so, so much Carrie!
Soooo much cozy charm in every room, Kristi! I love all your signage and feel inspired to incorporate some in my own decor! I just want to snuggle up by your fireplace and dream of sugar plums! Happy holidays 🙂
Thanks so much Corey! Happy holidays to you too my friend!
Wow, you have such a well-decorated home, it’s so cozy and classy! I’m having my kitchen cabinets redone by a local cabinet refinisher in a few weeks, and I love the look of your white cabinets and silver hardware. What color of white did you use? It looks amazing in your kitchen and laundry room!
Thank you so much Sarah, I’m so happy you love them! How exciting for you! We used Cloud White from Benjamin Moore for most of our cabinets. Best of luck with your kitchen reno!
I love your simple and traditional Christmas style. The stocking tags are adorable and the tree is certainly highlighted with the beads and sparkly lights. Your home is always cozy and welcoming. Especially at Christmastime, Kristi. Thanks for the inspiration! Merry Christmas.
Thank you so, so much Meegan! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season as well my friend!
