Imagine stepping into a cozy winter wonderland where every detail feels both timeless and fresh. For fans of Lulu and Georgia, it’s a very Sarah Sherman Samuel holiday! From wallpaper and wall decor to tabletop accessories and ornaments, the collection—available to shop now—is a dream for the ultimate host.
And it gets better: Samuel showcased the collection inside her beautifully renovated 1930s Tudor home in Grand Rapids, Michigan—a project she took on with her husband, Rupert. The house, like the collection, seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern style, creating a holiday atmosphere that feels straight out of a storybook. Below, we’ve gleaned a few tips to help you re-create the look for your house.
Go Big With Garland
Of course, we all want our garland to look alive, but Samuel has upped the decorative ante by layering multiple types of greenery to top her mantel, above minimal stockings, for a superlush look.
Wreaths Aren’t Just for Outside
It’s lovely to hang a wreath on your front door, but then you barely get to enjoy it. Place one in your kitchen and you can gaze at it all day long. Samuel mimicked a typical exterior placement by centering her ribbon-adorned wreath over a window. Plus with this wreath, the fresh scent of eucalyptus will infuse your space.
Challenge Traditional Holiday Colors
The holidays aren’t just for red and green or blue and silver—choose according to what works with your year-round style. Everyone knows a garland is meant to be festive, so try snaking a bit of pink through yours for a more personalized take on holiday decor, if that’s your thing.
Ornaments Can Double as Gift Toppers
Why relegate ornaments just to the tree? Use your collection—or one of Samuel’s adorable felt tigers—anywhere in your home. We particularly love the idea of using them on top of holiday gifts.
