    Winter Home Decor Tour 2021

    Winter Home Decor Tour 2021

    Hello All! Today’s post is going to be a bit different as this year I am showcasing my winter home decor tour 2021 as a YouTube video!

    I went for a cottagecore, mushroom, forest theme for this year’s decorations. Addtionally, my decorations are completely non-Christmas-themed since we do not celebrate Christmas but celebrate Yule/winter solstice instead.

    We don’t even have a Christmas or Yule tree, but that is mostly due to the fact that we do not have any room in our apartment to put one up!

    One day I hope to have a home where I can put up a beautiful and delicious-smelling real pine tree.

    I like to put my decorations up mid-December, right before the solstice, and leave them up until the end of February when I start noticing the shift in nature that spring is upon us.

    Joann Fabrics had a lot of mushroom vibe winter decor this year and I could not resist!

    I am really happy with how it turned and love how simple and minimal it looks.

    If you would like to see previous years’ decorations click here.

    Don’t forget to subscribe to my new YouTube channel for additional vlog and seasonal content.

    Thanks for watching my Winter Home Decor Tour and happy holiday!

    -Rachel
