Take the Festivities Outside

When indoor-outdoor living is the order of the day, creating a cozy winter wonderland means doubling down on alfresco comfort. Pile a covered backyard seating nook with pillows, add some interesting planters and unexpected seating options—and don’t forget the lanterns for that magical holiday glow.

Hayneedle featured items: Felt Wreaths, $61.52; Velvet Pillows, $26.26; Planter, $27.96; Lantern, $71.99; Potting Bench, $69.99.

Dress Up Your Conversation Area

Flexible seating is a party host’s best friend. Bring in patterned throws and sparkly pillows to add interest to a neutral sofa. Worth the investment: a quality-crafted leather bench that also serves as a table.

Hayneedle featured items: Sofa, $2,229; Ottoman, $1,035; End Table, $405; Rug, $713.37; Pillows, $41.99 and $197.50; Throw Blanket, $63.60.

Set a Festive Table

Dial up the dinner-party glamour by letting your food (and flatware!) take center stage. Tiered trays and footed cake plates at various heights add visual appeal; a wood tray adorned with greens brings everything together in an Instagram-worthy way.

Hayneedle featured items: Table, $1,710; Chairs, $890; Wood Serving Tray, $113.85; Serving Utensils, $38.40; Flatware, $139.99; Tiered Trays, from $46.80.

Deck the Walls

Winter whites rule the day in this Scandinavian-inspired holiday display. Create the illusion of a fireplace with a shelf containing lanterns in rustic-chic natural rattan.

Hayneedle featured items: Felt Wreath, $61.52; Felt Garland, $36.89; Stockings, $12.95 and $16.95; Lantern, $71.99.
