Warm and welcoming

To make this warm and welcoming Deephaven, Minnesota, home even merrier, the homeowner brings Yuletide elegance to every room, pairing natural materials with holiday decor in calming, muted tones. In the living room, pomegranates and pinecones fill bowls, vases show off branches with berries, and burlap ribbons dance across a mantel. White hand-knitted stockings suit the festive but soft color choices.
