Dress Up, Without the Dress

A chic pair of pants and a tailored top are the definition of holiday haute. Add a shimmering multi-strand pearl necklace and you’ll be ready to ring in the new year.

Simply Shabby Chic designer Rachel Ashwell employs a mix-and-match approach to create an eclectic holiday setting for your holiday table.

Think Outside the Box

When it comes to home décor and tabletop accents, think outside the box—a grouping of plates make for an inventive piece of wall art; a crochet window panel adds elegance to a dining room table; and, a chic soap dish can be used as a cocktail-ring holder. We took some of Rachel Ashwell's favorite items and imagined them in new ways.

  1. Hanging Plates

    When mixed in a display with vintage china, these white dinner plates lend texture to artless walls.

  2. Ornamental Arrangements

    Fresh flowers can be hard to come by this time of year, so instead, fill a vase with a mix of spherical Christmas ornaments. And, if you keep the color palette seasonless and classic, like blue and white, the decoration can last for months longer than mistletoe and holly.

  3. Side Dish

    While meant for the powder room, this brushed silver and white porcelain dish makes for stylish cocktail-ring storage.

  4. Tree House

    During cooler months, display your hanging outdoor plants on a vintage dish atop a classic side table.

  5. Throw Rug

    While usually relegated to a mudroom, a classic rag rug is ideal for adding shabby-chic flair to family room furnishings. Toss one over the back of a sofa in place of a more-expected throw.

  6. Textural Table

    Add dimension to your diner table by layering textiles. This crotched-lace window panel can be folded and placed over a vintage swathe of fabric
