Style-First Holiday Decorating Tips

Holiday decorating can feel like a high-stakes glitter bomb just waiting to happen. One minute you’re unboxing ornaments, the next you’re wondering why your living room looks like the seasonal aisle at a big box store. At Lisa Gilmore Design, we’re here to say: you don’t have to choose between festive and fabulous. Your home can celebrate the holidays and keep its signature style intact.

Holiday Decorating Ideas to Match Your Home Personality

Instead of fighting your home’s personality, let it guide your holiday decorating. Whether you’re drawn to the sleek lines of mid-century modern, the breezy palette of coastal design, or the bold drama of a maximalist space, your holiday look can feel like an extension of your everyday aesthetic with just enough sparkle to make it feel special. We’ve pulled together our best tips to help you make your home merry, bright, and unmistakably you.

Maximalist Holiday Decorating

Go big. Go bold. Go glitter-bombed.

Your home is already a party - let the holidays turn it into a spectacle. Jewel-toned ornaments, velvet ribbon, disco ball garlands, and unapologetically oversized everything belong here. Mix metals, layer patterns, and don’t you dare hold back.

Decor Tip: Use your existing color palette as the springboard. If your home is full of emerald green and fuchsia, carry that into your tree, mantel, and even gift wrap for a look that’s over-the-top in the best way.

Coastal Home for the Holidays

Think less kitsch, more cabana chic.

A coastal-inspired home doesn’t need to trade shells for snowflakes to feel festive. Stick to sandy neutrals, sea-glass blues, breezy whites, and maybe a pop of coral. Add texture with rope garlands, linen stockings, and ornaments in driftwood and glass.

Decor Tip: Skip the red and green and let the beachy palette shine. If your space already leans into light woods, rattan, or tropical patterns, keep holiday decor in the same sun-washed family for a relaxed yet refined look.

Retro charm, reimagined for the holidays.

Let your holiday decorating take a cue from the clean lines, punchy palettes, and vintage flair of mid-century design. Think brass candleholders, atomic starbursts, geometric garlands, and ceramic trees in mod hues. Even your bar cart deserves a little sparkle.

Decor Tip: Lean into warm wood tones, matte finishes, and a curated color scheme, like orange and gold, or teal and white, for a festive look that still feels true to your home’s roots.

Deck the Halls of Your Traditional Home

Barger-107-SMALL.jpg

Timeless meets twinkle.

If your home leans classic - arched windows, rich wood, crown molding - there’s no need to reinvent the (garland-wrapped) wheel. Embrace a nostalgic take on holiday decorating with tartan plaids, fresh greenery, brass bells, and candles galore. It’s elegance with a dash of Norman Rockwell charm.

Decor Tip: Layer textures like velvet and wool for cozy luxury. Hang garlands over built-ins or doorways, and use real greenery whenever possible - it smells as good as it looks.

FAQs: Holiday Decorating, LGD Style

1. How can I make my holiday décor match my home’s aesthetic?

The secret to cohesive holiday decorating? Start with what you already love. Your year-round color palette and textures are your north star. If your space is filled with warm brass, soft blush tones, or moody jewel hues, echo those in your holiday trimmings - think velvet ribbons in coordinating colors, metallic ornaments that match your lighting, or gift wrap that complements your pillows (yes, really).

For minimalist homes, lean into intentionality. A few well-placed pieces - like a sculptural tree, monochromatic garland, or a single wreath - can speak volumes without overwhelming. Maximalists, on the other hand, can layer on the sparkle and pattern. It’s all about extending your style, not abandoning it for the season. Your holiday home should feel like a celebration of you, just with a little extra sparkle.

2. What if I don’t have room for a full tree?

No tree? No problem. Big style can shine in small spaces - you just need to get a little creative. Try a cluster of tabletop trees on your entry console or mantle (bonus points for mixing textures and heights). Drape garland above doorways, along shelves, or across a headboard for an unexpected twist.

A bowl of ornaments, a vase of foraged greenery, or even a string of twinkly lights along a mirror can channel festive vibes without sacrificing square footage. And if you’re really tight on space, a wall-mounted “tree” made from ribbon, postcards, or photos can be a charming (and conversation-starting) alternative. Small space, big joy. Always.

3. What is trending this year for Christmas decor?

This season’s holiday decorating is all about celebrating you - with nostalgia, sparkle, and soul. Expect rich jewel tones like deep burgundy, emerald, and midnight blue paired with soft metallics such as antique gold and rose copper. Vintage finds and heirloom‑style ornaments are having a major moment, as are layered textures (velvet ribbons, knits, natural greenery), and the return of “more is more” - it’s the year to go bold. Sustainability is also in the mix: reusable décor, handcrafted details, and natural elements like dried orange slices and pinecones are shaping up as must‑haves. Your holiday space should feel warm, collected, and unmistakably your style.

ST PETERSBURG HOME - LISA GILMORE DESIGN

A Bold Primary Suite Renovation in This St. Petersburg Home

November 05, 2025 in DESIGN PROJECT

St. Petersburg Home’s Bedroom and Bathroom Design Reveal

As part of a bold, full-home renovation by Lisa Gilmore Design, this primary suite was designed to stand apart, while still playing beautifully with this St. Petersburg home's overall midcentury modern spirit. Inspired by the polish of a New York hotel suite and infused with fashion-forward flair, the bedroom and bathroom were reimagined as a masculine retreat full of architectural edge, artful layers, and meaningful personal details.


Tailored Tranquility in a St. Petersburg Home: Midcentury Style Meets NYC Hotel Chic

What a difference a vision makes. Take a look at how this St. Petersburg home went from sleepy to statement-making.

Before: St Petersburg Home’s Primary Bedroom With All The Right Raw Materials

ST PETERSBURG HOME BEFORE PHOTO

This dreamy St. Petersburg home bedroom had all the architectural charm you could ask for - vaulted wood ceilings, a wall of windows, and space to stretch. But the vibe? A little too mellow. The furniture felt heavy, the palette leaned dark, and the room lacked that signature sparkle we love to bring to a primary suite. It was begging for a bold refresh to match the sunny, style-forward personality of the home.

After: A Tailored Bedroom Retreat in This St. Petersburg Home

This isn’t your average nap zone. From the graphic wallpaper to the custom ottomans and rug - designed by Lisa and brought to life by local artisans - every inch of this bedroom was made to dazzle. 

The teal velvet headboard adds drama without taking itself too seriously, while layers of playful patterns keep your eyes dancing around the room. The gallery wall features pieces that trigger the clients’ memories, including old photos of a grandparent’s trip to New York.

The striking angled windows flood the space with Florida sunshine, making the whole room feel like a chic treehouse for grown-ups. With seating areas for lounging, reading, or just admiring your fabulous taste in this freshly reimagined St. Petersburg home.

Before: Average St Petersburg Home’s Primary Bathroom

ST PETERSBURG HOME BEFORE

The bathroom in this St. Petersburg home was spacious and full of potential, but it felt more like a time capsule than a tranquil escape. With dated tile, bulky cabinetry, and a dim layout, it lacked the personality and polish that the rest of the home was leaning into. While the footprint was generous, the finishes didn’t quite live up to it. This space was clearly ready to swap “blah” for spa.

Let’s be honest: this bathroom didn’t come to play - it came to indulge. 

The sculptural tub takes center stage against a bold charcoal wall, perfectly framed by a minimalist nude sketch that whispers art gallery meets spa day. Just to the side, a cozy wooden stool stands ready with a good read, a glass of wine, and a candle because... self-care, darling. 

The adjacent shower feels like a luxe retreat carved from the earth itself - draped in richly veined marble and grounded by a pebble-stone floor that gives your feet a gentle massage as you rinse off the day. 

And those walnut vanities? They’re the dashing co-stars, flanked by graphic wall tile and arched mirrors that say, “Yes, you do look fabulous.”

 

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a St. Petersburg Home

Have questions before you pack your bags and move to paradise? We’ve got answers - St. Petersburg style.

1. Is it expensive to live in St. Petersburg, FL?

St. Pete living isn’t exactly bargain-bin cheap, but it’s not luxury-label exclusive either. Think of it more like a fabulous boutique find: stylish, sun-drenched, and worth the splurge if you know how to shop smart. Housing is the biggest budget item, especially in neighborhoods near the water or downtown. But Florida’s no-income-tax policy does give your paycheck a bit more wiggle room. If you’re willing to live a little farther from the action (or you’re not picky about having a Gulf-view balcony), you can still score a stylish spot that doesn’t drain your savings account.

2. What salary do you need to live comfortably in St. Petersburg, Florida?

Ah, the magic number - how much do you really need to live your best life in the Sunshine City? If you're imagining morning coffee on the porch, a few dinner dates each month, and enough left over for a Target run and your Spotify Premium, a salary around $60K to $90K should do the trick. A single person might get by with a little less, but if you’ve got expensive taste (or a love for local art, boutique gyms, or beachy cocktails), a bit more cushion is nice. Like most things in life, comfort here is all about balance - sunshine, savings, and just enough space for a spontaneous weekend getaway.

3. Is St. Petersburg, FL a good place to live?

In a word: yes. But let’s unpack it, because St. Pete isn’t just good - it’s glow-up-worthy. With more sunshine than you’ll know what to do with, a thriving arts scene, delicious food, and beaches that feel like postcards, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with this place. You’ve got charming bungalows, vibrant murals, and a calendar packed with festivals and farmers markets. Sure, traffic can get a little cranky and housing prices are climbing like a vine on a pergola, but if you’re looking for creative energy, coastal beauty, and community vibes, St. Pete delivers - sparkle and all.

Master Bath Design: 4 Jaw-Dropping Sanctuaries You Have to See

October 11, 2025 in INSPIRATION

Get Inspired by These Elegant & Elevated Master Bath Design Projects

When people think of showstopping interior design, they tend to zero in on kitchens, living rooms, and primary bedrooms. It makes sense - these are the rooms we gather in, unwind in, and start and end our days in. But there’s one space that’s equally worthy of the spotlight: master bath design.

A beautifully designed bathroom doesn’t just support your daily routine, it transforms it. And when done well, it becomes a personal retreat that rivals any five-star hotel.

Soak in the Style: 4 Inspiring Master Bath Design Projects

We believe that your master bath design should be just as intentional - and joy-filled - as any other room in the home. From statement lighting to dreamy vanities and artful tile, every detail should reflect your personality and style. These four projects do exactly that.

FAQs: Answers to Your Master Bath Design Questions

1. What is the bathroom design trend in 2025?

Spa-inspired everything. In 2025, master bathrooms are going full-on sanctuary mode - think warm minimalism, integrated tech, and bold stone vanities. You'll also see a return of vintage charm (unlacquered brass! fluted cabinetry!) mixed with sleek modern silhouettes. And yes, style matters more than ever.

2. How much does it cost to design a master bathroom?

Costs vary, but most high-end master bath design projects fall between $25,000 and $80,000+, depending on square footage, layout changes, and finish selections. Custom cabinetry, plumbing, tilework, and lighting are major cost drivers - but also major value-adds.

3. What are master baths called now?

Many designers (us included!) use “primary bathroom” or “owner’s suite bathroom” instead of “master bath” to embrace more inclusive language. But no matter what you call it, it’s still the perfect space to experiment with bold design, luxe materials, and a little powder room-worthy glamour.

Midcentury Modern Office Style Idea with Waterfront Views

MID-CENTURY MODERN OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN

mid century home office style ideas St Petersburg Florida

This mid-century modern home got a fresh update that honors its iconic roots. The office’s vintage Eames-style lounger and desk chair were lovingly reupholstered right here in town, giving them a new lease on stylish life. And because the homeowners are passionate about supporting independent artists, every piece of art tells a story - whether it was part of their original collection, commissioned just for this space, or discovered on a serendipitous art hunt along the way.

Home Office Mural Steals the Show

This home office feels like it belongs on a breezy Caribbean island with all the charm and none of the travel delays. The entire renovation was guided by a single goal: to craft a space that feels like a tropical escape, perfect for relaxing or gathering with loved ones. The homeowners are passionate about art, music, and travel, so weaving those loves into every corner was a must. 

photo: Home Office with Mural

Colorful Home Office with Mural Tampa Florida

In the office, a playful hand-painted mural by artist Chad Mize sets the tone - colorful, creative, and just a little bit cheeky. A custom glass door, designed and fabricated just for this space, adds an extra splash of personality. It's a one-of-a-kind retreat where inspiration comes easy and island daydreams are always welcome.

Work in Your Own Jewel Box Office Style Idea

Tucked inside a 1925 bungalow in historic Old Northeast, this emerald-hued office is pure jewel-box magic. The whole home bursts with color, charm, and just the right amount of sass - perfect for someone who adores art, antiques, and playful style.

The custom built-in, painted a show-stopping shade of emerald, was designed by Lisa and crafted by local artisans. And don’t miss the ottoman with vintage legs or those fabulous drapes - designed by Lisa and inspired by none other than the queen of Hollywood Regency herself, Dorothy Draper. It's a petite powerhouse of personality.

Downtown Condo Office Style Idea with a Bold Red Desk

DOWNTOWN CONDO OFFICE TAMPA LISA GILMORE DESIGN

DOWNTOWN CONDO OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN TAMPA

bold blue office with abstract art Tampa Florida

This bold downtown St. Pete condo was a true design adventure - from virtual consults to the final reveal, we didn’t meet the homeowners in person until after everything was installed and they made their big move to Florida! Having previously lived in sleek, modern spaces filled with whites, grays, and the occasional blue, they were ready to toss the rulebook and let us go wild - and we happily obliged. 

One of our favorite standout pieces? A radiant red custom desk from OTTRA, a Brooklyn-based studio we’ve admired for years. Lisa first met Sofia, one of the owners, at the Brooklyn Design Festival over five years ago, and they instantly clicked. They dreamed of collaborating, and this joyful, sculptural desk made that dream a (very red and fabulous) reality.

Boss Lady Office design in South Tampa by Lisa Gilmore Design

South Tampa Office Style Idea with Boss Lady Flair

Looking for an office style idea with serious boss energy? This South Tampa home office delivers, complete with a bold pillow that declares its owner a powerhouse. The fashion-loving homeowner has a deep appreciation for art, which is woven into every detail from the statement pieces in her personal collection to the bespoke mineral plaster ceiling created by a local artisan. The richly layered rug comes from the Lisa Gilmore Design Rug Collection, and the custom drapery was designed by Lisa herself and crafted right here in Tampa Bay. It’s stylish, strong, and anything but ordinary.

Eclectic Office Style Idea: Arts & Crafts Meets Art Deco

In this whimsical home office, history meets haute design. The homeowner’s beloved antique Arts & Crafts desk anchors the space with its rich, carved details, while playful nods to Art Déco shine through in sharp geometrics and glitzy accents. We layered in bold pattern, graphic upholstery, and sculptural lighting for a look that feels collected, not themed. 

It’s a joyful collision of eras where Morris-inspired wallpaper blooms behind a boldly graphic chair, and every detail feels intentionally layered with a wink and a flourish. The result? A perfectly eclectic office style idea that proves mixing periods is always in fashion.

Masculine Office Style Idea Inspired by Sherlock Holmes

SHERLOCK HOLMES OFFICE STYLE LISA GILMORE DESIGN SARASOTA

SHERLOCK HOLMES OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN TAMPA

Can’t you imagine Sherlock and Watson in this home office, discussing their latest mind-boggling case? This workspace exudes the warmth and charm of an old-school gentleman’s club, with rich wood tones, masculine textures, and a dose of Americana flair. 

From the classic campaign-style desk and red velvet chair to the presidential portrait and Kennedy poster, every detail hints at strong leadership and timeless taste. We dressed the windows in a tailored plaid and wrapped the walls in a burnished bronze tone that glows in the afternoon light. Add in leather, velvet, and a few nods to natural history (hello, feathered pheasant) and this space is every bit as refined as it is personal.

Traditional Office Style Idea That Works Double Duty

TRADITIONAL OFFICE AND SITTING ROOM LISA GILMORE DESIGN MIAMI

TRADITIONAL OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN MIAMI

This room is proof that you really can have it all - style, function, and a splash of citrusy charm. What looks like a sophisticated sitting room at first glance is also a cleverly disguised dual home office, thanks to two custom built-in desks tucked on either side of the window. With vibrant floral drapery, playful pops of orange and green, and a chandelier dripping in pearls, this multitasking marvel is perfect for hosting guests by day and conquering your inbox by night. A space that works hard and plays pretty? Yes, please.

FAQs: Different Office Style Ideas for Your Focus Needs

1. How do I style my office?

Start by gathering a few office style ideas that match your personality and how you want to feel in your workspace - energized, calm, creative, or focused. From there, layer in color (on the walls or accessories), invest in lighting that flatters both your Zoom calls and your desk tasks, and mix in elements you love, like art, plants, or vintage treasures. The goal? To make your office feel less like a cubicle and more like your favorite room in the house.

2. How to design your office layout?

Designing your office layout starts with function first. Think about how you move through your day and what tools you use most often. Then, get inspired by office style ideas that balance beauty and practicality. Whether you're carving out a corner in your living room or have a dedicated room, consider traffic flow, natural light, and storage. Don’t forget: even a layout can have flair. A well-placed rug or bookshelf can define the space and make it feel intentional.

3. How to make an office look cozy?

Cozy doesn’t have to mean cluttered. Think warm textures, soft lighting, and personal touches that make you smile. Use cozy office style ideas like plush throws, layered rugs, framed photos, or a candle with your favorite scent. Choose a chair you actually want to sit in and bring in natural elements like wood finishes or greenery. A cozy office is one that feels lived-in, loved, and ready for big ideas.

Whether you're drawn to tropical murals, jewel-toned built-ins, or downtown drama, these office style ideas prove that your workspace can be as unique as you are.
