Some installs add holiday charm — and some completely transform a home. This project in Huntington Beach was all about creating a seamless, elevated holiday feel from the entryway to the upstairs, blending festive touches with the home’s rich textures, warm woods, and bold wallpaper.
🚪 A Warm & Festive Front Doorway
Before stepping inside, guests are greeted by a lush outdoor garland wrapped around the Dutch door. We used rich greenery, classic red accents, gold ornaments, and a statement burgundy bow to create a standout welcome moment.
It sets the perfect tone — warm, inviting, and beautifully festive even before you enter the home.
✨ A Magical First Impression
Inside, the entry is wrapped in greenery and soft lights, framing the hallway in a warm holiday glow. Hanging gold icicle ornaments add shimmer as you walk through, catching the light against the dramatic wallpaper.
It instantly creates a cozy, elegant atmosphere that leads you deeper into the holiday transformation.
🌿 Elegant Interior Archways
Many of the home’s openings feature bold wood paneling, and we highlighted each one with full, textured garlands. Oversized poinsettias, gold ribbon, and red ornaments brought both warmth and dimension — making each archway feel like a moment of its own.
These touches helped connect the entire home visually, creating a festive flow from room to room.
🎁 A Cozy Living Room Retreat
The living room tree sparkles with champagne ornaments, glitter florals, and warm white lights — a perfect pairing with the wood-paneled walls and marble fireplace.
A richly layered mantel garland ties in greenery, berries, pinecones, and pops of red, creating a warm and welcoming space ready for holiday gatherings.
🌟 A Statement Staircase Wrapped in Magic
This dramatic staircase called for a full holiday moment. We created a sweeping garland filled with rich greenery, oversized florals, ribbon, and berries for depth and movement.
At the bottom, cascading greenery gives the entire staircase a luxurious, magazine-worthy finish.
To complete the transformation, we added wreaths along the upper railing, each decorated with coordinating ribbon and florals. This tied the upstairs into the design story and made the staircase a true centerpiece of the home.
🎀 Holiday Warmth Throughout the Home
Every detail — from the doorway to the stair landing — was placed with intention. Soft lights, lush greens, and natural textures created a cohesive flow that felt high-end yet inviting, allowing each space to shine while still feeling connected.
🏡 Ready for the Season
This install brought out the beauty of the home while adding that signature Merry Design Co. magic: warm glow, lush greens, and thoughtful seasonal touches.
A full transformation that feels both luxurious and cozy — ready for every moment of the holidays.
