Plaid Christmas decor is so pretty with plaid presents, ornaments and blanket inspiration.

Plaid Christmas Decor - So Much Better With Age

This neutral loving girl is branching out with her Christmas decor this year and adding plaid! I loved adding these plaid elements to my tree, mantel and gift wrap gaining a lot of inspiration from beautiful plaid throw blankets.

Today I’m taking part in a Styled + Set holiday entertaining tour hosted by Lory of Designthusiasm.

If you are coming here from Dimples and Tangles, welcome! Be sure to visit all the other tours at the end of this post.

If you’ve been following me on my Instagram stories, you might have seen how I’ve been giving this old settee a makeover. It was so tattered and old but I knew it would look amazing next to the tree this year.

And adding green velvet fabric makes it so luxurious.

I like to challenge myself each year to stick to my same Christmas ornaments and general decor but to change it up a bit. By using my same ornaments but just adding some plaid ribbon, a few plaid ornaments (I’ll be showing you how I made them tomorrow!) and adding some plaid throws and plaid wrapped gifts, it’s changed the whole look from last year.

I love these battery operated candle lights. There are no wires as each light needs one battery and they go on by remote. They can be clipped anywhere and they even flicker!

These new plaid ornaments I recently made. You can find the tutorial here.

I also love using our Tree Mote to turn the pre-lit Christmas tree lights on too!

    Your tree and everything looks so pretty and festive. My house is very neutral as well, but when it comes to Christmas, I do love to stick with traditional Christmas colours. My question though for this year….is it “ok” to mix plaids in one room? I’m very attracted to plaids this year and I notice that you have several different plaid throws, but I’m wondering ..is that ok all in the same room? I have several plaid throws but I’m just so unsure! Help!

      Thank you Colleen and yes, feel free to mix plaids in one room. I have 3 different plaid throws in just my living room. I love plaids this year too.
      Hugs, Jamie

      Thank you, BJ! I noticed Lidy (French Garden House) doesn’t have that basket on her site anymore. I’ll ask if she’ll be getting again soon!

    Jamie, this is beautiful!! And I just printed out the European Christmas Stocking Pattern…I CAN’T WAIT to make these 🙂 I’m ordering the drop cloth tomorrow, and will hopefully get these done by next week. Your Christmas mantle with these stockings is stunning. Thank you so much for the pattern and for the inspiration. Please keep the posts coming, and have a very Merry Christmas!!

    I love the plaids you used this year Jamie! So funny, because THIS neutral loving girl was considering traditional reds (and PLAIDS!) and I ended up going another direction. However, this is so cute, I’m thinking this will be my plan next year 😉

    Merry Christmas my friend!

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
