Baskets and decorative containers are some of the easiest pieces to decorate this time of year.
They add texture, warmth, and an effortless “collected over time” look. Fill them with battery-operated candles, fresh or faux evergreens, a handful of berries, or even a few cinnamon sticks if you like a hint of spice in the air.
If you have several baskets, try grouping them together at different heights, especially near the entryway, so the greenery and soft candlelight feel inviting the moment someone walks in.
A simple styling idea for the living room:
Take a woven basket you love, place your favorite scented candle in the middle, and tuck greenery or seasonal fillers around it. One large LED candle works well on a coffee table, but clustering a few smaller candles inside containers gives you that layered, lived-in feel that makes a room come alive.
And if you want to add that extra touch, add a couple of lanterns beside your basket display. That mix of wood, textures, and gentle candlelight creates a cozy corner that feels cozy the second you walk by.
Whether you’re styling one basket or layering a whole vignette, the goal isn’t perfection; it’s presence. A little light, a little greenery, and your favorite textures are all it takes to make home feel like a retreat this season.

Remember, your home is all about you, so be creative!
