Hello! I had a fantastic weekend. I helped make 93 dozen Christmas cookies a reality, met up with Melissa from this month’s Creative Couples feature, and finally put up our Christmas tree. Since I’m finally in a holiday decorating mood, this month’s This or That feature is showcasing two very beautifully styled monochrome rooms decorated for the holidays.
I’m not sure which I prefer, the white-themed interior posted in the IKEA Sweden blog or the black-themed interiors styled by Sophie Brown. I’m leaning towards the hallway by Sophie Brown as I’m trying to recreate either in my home. Both rooms are styled so beautifully and perfect for this season.
I’ve always found monochrome holiday décor to be extremely classy. I almost always choose this palette for New Years! I love love LOVE the second picture – very lovely examples 🙂
I like the word classy! Great choice Amanda.
Argh! So difficult to choose. The first one is beautiful for taking an occupied space and adding onto it and the second one is just plain ol’ beautiful. Ah, the first one. I love the snowflake lights. They just make it all pop.
I think everyone enjoys the snowflake lights. They are gorgeous!
What lovely decorating inspiration. My vote is for the white-themed interior!
Thank you for stopping by Miranti!
I love the first. Bright white is my favorite kind of christmas decor. It reminds me of the bright white clean snow 🙂
That’s an amazing analogy Danielle. Thank you for stopping by!
i adore the snowflake lights around the mirror in the IKEA photo. how charming!
I agree!
I don’t know which I prefer either..Perhaps the IKEA photo because they put light on the bike. Cute, right?
I thought the bike was a huge part of the decor appeal for the first picture. Thank you for stopping by Katerina!
Oh I love the lighted bike!! Beautiful choices both but I think if I had to choose I would go for the first one 🙂 I love it!
The lighted bike is a winner!
to be honest I could go with either one. I love everything Christmas decor 🙂
🙂 Christmas decor is the best!
I am a fan of both, but I think the second one is my favourite! Especially with the hanging pinecones.
Hmmm, I’m having a hard time deciding which one but I think I would go with the black–it feels more cozy and comfortable to me. 🙂 Either way, I won’t mint both. 😛
