Coastal Christmas Home - Southern Living

Casual Christmas Cottage

A charming Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina home gets festive with informal wreaths for the holidays.

Decorated Door

The home's front door, conveniently painted red, lends itself to holiday dressing.

Living Room

Since the home's porch is an extension of the interior, the family placed the tree just outside the French doors, which freed up space in the living room.

Festive Detail

In the living room, a large square wreath framing a smaller round one mimics the shape of the fireplace below.

Room for Everyone

The large dining table adjacent to the kitchen is perfect for holiday gatherings. Homeowners set the table for a buffet, with balls of boxwood and bud vases of gerbera daisies.

Christmas Kitchen

In the kitchen, the window over the sink showcases a simple wreath.

Sea-Inspired Holiday Bedroom

Crisp white linens adorned with red piping and lobsters in the master bedroom make a suitable tribute to Christmas in a beachy setting. Red flowers and pillows amp up the look.

Family Fire Pit

An outdoor fireplace makes the patio the opportune spot for holiday entertaining.
