I'm an interior designer who shopped at West Elm and Crate & Barrel for holiday decorations. One felt way more festive.

I found the simplicity and charm of the holiday decor at Crate & Barrel appealing, despite its understated festive feel. The minimal and chic display featured greenery, lights, white trees, tiny houses, and reindeer with a lack of vibrant colors, requiring a closer look to fully appreciate.
