So get ready to hang your stockings with care and string tinsel across every eave. These 6 seasonally decorated homes will inspire you to make your home a winter wonderland.

Many of these beautiful homes were part of past Kids Help Phone Homes For The Holidays fundraisers where homeowners and designers are brought together for a good cause.
This 100-year-old home was brought back to life by owner and designer Kerri-Lee Watson. Her team recreated crown moulding and baseboards, saved original leaded glass windows and living room pocket doors. Our favourite part? Her maximalist approach to Christmas decorations in unconventional colours (orange and chartreuse!). A showstopper indeed.
Vancouver designer Ami McKay of Pure Design brings peace home for the holidays with hand-made touches and Scandinavian vibes. This seaside cottage leans minimalist with hand-tied wreaths and re-purposed pom poms. A natural delight.
Designer Kendall Ansell and her client brought Christmas to life with eye-catching silver and bright pink decor. But the flocked tree is the true star of the living space, we cant keep our eyes off of it.

Taking inspiration from the homeowner's collection of vintage nutcrackers and connection to ballet, designers Emma Kelly and Francesca Albertazzi decorated this Vancouver home to evoke The Nutcracker. It feels like a grand Christmas party as soon as you walk in and utilizes navy blue and gold as a spin on the traditional red and green.
Designer Phyllis Lui of Kalu Interiors went all out on winter whimsy in shades of soft pinks and turquoises. Get ready for fairy-tale vibes galore with flocked greenery and Christmas-y metallics. Lush luxe is an understatement.
Designer Tanya Krpan combines modern and traditional in this Vancouver home, turning it into a timeless holiday masterpiece. The warmth of lush garland, brass and gold accents and soft throws create a natural and inviting feel.
