The 5 Holiday Styling Tricks Everyone Needs to Know

The holiday program at Sunset favorite Rolling Greens nursery requires a tremendous amount of preplanning and expertise, and the creative team admits a lot of ideas come from the previous year’s “should haves,” proving you should always revisit design ideas that speak to your heart, no matter the trends.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of walking through any of the company’s retail outlets, you know the amount of care and love that go not only into the sourcing of unique products but also into the masterful displays that showcase them. Even though Rolling Greens has done all the beauty hunting for you, they want everyone to feel empowered when styling their treasures with confidence back home and offer these five steps to get started.

• Select decor colors that inspire you and are an aesthetic complement to the space, even if it’s monotone.

• Select plant material that adds structural interest to the space, whether it is soft tropical leaves or hard-edged cacti.
• Do not be afraid to incorporate faux into the mix. While living materials breathe freshness into a space, quality faux pieces can create a wonderful foundation.

• Incorporate scent into every display with fragrant pine, cinnamon sticks, rosemary, or herbs. Level that up for dinner parties with fragrant flowers like ‘Casa Blanca’ lilies and tuberoses.
• When in doubt, invest in vintage pieces. A unique container paired with a smaller Christmas tree and a trove of hand-selected ornaments saves a lot of work and time and can be reused with a favorite houseplant when the season is over.
