Christmas is just around the corner, which means holiday decorating season is in full swing. There's undoubtedly a familiar rhythm to this time of year—whether it's hanging the mistletoe high, adding garland to the mantel, or stringing lights up and down the staircase.

So why not try something new? This year, to help give a bit of inspiration, furniture and accessories brand Serena & Lily has debuted a Holiday House: a seasonal installation spanning six of its design stores. A different interior designer oversaw each shop's décor and used Serena & Lily's coastal-cool furnishings to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind holiday look. If you're looking for some Christmastime inspiration, this is the perfect place to start!

Make It a Blue Christmas

Christmas colors are traditionally red and green, and while we'll never argue with that, blue can look just as beautiful. At Serena & Lily's Atlanta store, interior design firm Huff-Dewberry created a vignette that embodies the joy of waking up on Christmas morning. Of particular note are the blue-and-green velvet stockings, as well as the wallpaper and matching chair in Serena & Lily's Lily of the Valley print.

Put Gingham Everywhere

Who says gingham can't be seasonal? Interior designer Sissy Yellen transformed the Serena & Lily Birmingham store into a print paradise, with everything from the stools to the stockings upholstered in a brown check. Yellen's inspiration was to create the ultimate hosting space, so there are many different seating options, making it perfect for gathering.

Add Bows

It's Christmas, so there's no such thing as too many bows. Interior designer Javier Burkle was inspired by menswear for his space in the Serena & Lily Dallas store, opting for a slightly darker, earthier color palette of blues, greens, and browns. There's a ribbon garnish to be found in every corner, including the Antica chairs and the Larkspur chandelier.

Layer Botanical Prints

Maximalists will love this vignette, which goes big on color and pattern. Interior designer Kari McIntosh's scheme for the Serena & Lily store in Palo Alto was inspired by Scotland, and the grandeur of its architectural wonders, like Balmoral Castle. Her room seamlessly layers different botanical motifs, from the Wisley wallpaper to the Morningside throw pillows. A bit of texture in the fringe skirt on the sofas adds just the right amount of charm and whimsy.

Make It Warm and Cozy

We all love "Little Women"—in particular, those heartwarming scenes of Jo, Meg, and Amy curled up by the fire during the Christmas season. Landed Interiors drew inspiration from this literary classic for its take on the holiday season at the Serena & Lily location in Roslyn, New York. The overall color palette and look feels warm, cozy, and familiar—like a cup of hot chocolate on Christmas morning.

Mix Raffia and Pattern

Nothing says coastal chic like a seamless blend of raffia and blue; that's exactly what you get in this room by M+M Interiors, located at Serena & Lily's shop in Winnetka, Ill. The interior design firm embraced pattern drenching to the fullest, adding Serena & Lily's Claremont print to the walls, upholstery, and more. Paired with muted browns and pinks, it's a beautiful, unique take on seasonal décor.
