Inspiration Behind the Shiny & Bright Christmas Foyer Styling

If you’ve been here longer than a hot minute then you are probably aware that I love all things Mercury glass. I’ve had this collection of mercury glass trees for several years now, and I wanted to display them here in the foyer with their shiny and bright profiles. They greet our guests as they enter our home with all the Christmas cheer.

Amongst the forest of glass trees sits a mercury glass compote DIY, which has a Christmas candle DIY. I will be sharing the Christmas candle tutorial tomorrow. Make sure to come back and visit or simply sign up to get all new posts directly into your inbox. You can also find the mercury glass DIY here {Faux Mercury Glass DIY ~ Ballard Designs Knock-off} if you’re interested.

I try to use most of our Christmas decor from year to year, but I don’t necessarily use everything the same way. The foyer is the perfect spot to keep things different and new since it’s the first impression when folks walk through our front door. You can see how our Christmas foyer looked like last year here {Christmas Decor Vignettes {Ideas & Inspiration}.

Details About the Shiny & Bright Christmas Foyer

Please come on in and enjoy some Christmas inspiration for a few minutes during this busy time of year. Anything in mass always makes a bigger impact, and it’s one of my preferred decor techniques. For this foyer styling I used a collection of mercury glass trees, which are contrasted with Christmas green accents.

Mercury Glass Trees

The mercury glass trees are the main event for this shiny and bright Christmas foyer styling. They look like an icy wonderland to me and although they are sleek, they also have a vintage vibe. I used five trees since I prefer odd numbers for decor composition. The trees are assorted with different shapes and sizes which creates interest.

Thrifted Urn with Boxwood Sphere

If you are familiar with my home, you have seen this urn plenty. It sits here on the bombe chest most of the year and is usually crowned with the preserved boxwood orb. The urn is a thrifted find which got a major facelift when I brought it home. You won’t believe how it looked before, now that you see it here. The whitewashed gray finish plays nice with the silver trees and the boxwood orb is a fresh pop of color against the sea of gray and silver.

DIY Mercury Compote Christmas Candle

Candles are immediate mood setters in rooms and in the foyer it’s no different. Plus I like to use a scented candle in the foyer, so it greets our guests as soon as they walk through the door with an enjoyable scent. This adds a feeling of comfort and serenity. This DIY candle not only smells fantastic but looks beautiful too.

Green Accents

Playing off the boxwood sphere additional green accents are scattered about the vignette. A green velvet ribbon bow hangs on the white feather wreath, while a green velvet ribbon hangs on a mercury glass ornament. Also a green decorative artichoke-like ornament sits at the base of the silver trees. All these green elements add a ton of texture to the otherwise sleek trees.

Accent Wall

Across the way sits the monogram wall which also has seasonal details. The advent calendar sits next to the gallery wall. Snowy faux holly branches, Christmas baubles and an oversized Santa all add festive touches.

Surrounding Spaces

As you enter through the front door into the foyer you are greeted with a rustic Christmas wreath, which I shared yesterday. I will share the rest of the porch next week.

Past the foyer sits the dining room, which has the festive pink Christmas table setting and the bar styling, which I recently shared.

Next to the foyer sits the living room with our traditional family Christmas tree and the fireplace focal point decorated with the brown neutral look this year..

Festive details all around add the magic of the season. A decorative door hanger on the front door and a Merry Christmas Garland hanging over the opening to the living room plus a honeycomb bell hanging on a basket on the hall tree all add small details. All the small details add to a big seasonal boost.

Closing Thoughts

Make sure to come back tomorrow when I’ll share how you can also make the beautiful Christmas candle. There was a major SNAFU involving my phone and hot wax. I’ll leave it at that for now. I’m glad I can talk about it, since it could have been a huge jolly blocker.

How are you doing this holiday season? I am almost done shopping, and I’m almost done decorating. The only detail haunting me at the moment is our Christmas greeting card. Hoping to knock it off the list tomorrow. Let me know what you’re up to, and I hope this shiny & bright Christmas foyer inspires you in some way. Until next time friends.
