Source List 003: Holiday Decor

37 pieces worth unwrapping every year

Source List makes finding good design effortless—curated picks that cut through the noise and commentary that helps you develop your eye.

---

I am decorating for the holidays on my own for the first time, and have taken an interest in decor that isn’t plastic and feels like it has longevity. I have my eye on things that I can see myself wanting to keep for a long time, hopefully becoming the elements of holiday magic for my future children.

The holidays are about layers—light, texture, warmth—and the objects we bring into our homes for this season deserve the same consideration we give to pieces that stay year-round. However, they need to have a special touch and spark something in us that makes them a delight to pull out of storage next year.

I’ve omitted the commentary this round. Holiday objects should stir something you already know, not need convincing!
