As the holiday season approaches, finding the perfect gifts can become a daunting task. To simplify the search, several prominent interior designers have shared their favorite home decor gift ideas for 2023. These recommendations range from elegant coffee table books to chic kitchen accessories, ensuring that every recipient finds something delightful.
Chic and Personal Gifts
For a truly unique gift, interior designer Courtney Sempliner suggests elegant coffee table books, which can be tailored to the recipient’s interests. “Avid gardener? Architecture lover? Fashion obsessed? There are many options,” she explains. Her top pick is the 45th edition of Frank Lloyd Wright by TASCHEN, which pairs beautifully with seasonal candles, such as the Black Raspberry and Balsam Candle from Cue.
In the realm of functional decor, Yvonne Harty recommends a stylish brass salt and pepper mill set from Cove Home. Handmade in Greece, these pieces combine practicality and aesthetic appeal. “They elevate everyday meals,” she states, emphasizing their timeless design.
Thoughtful and Practical Choices
When considering gifts that enhance daily routines, Karina Plotko suggests the Holcomb Studio Dripless Oil Can. This sleek kitchen accessory not only serves a purpose but also adds elegance to the countertop. “It’s great to use every day and especially beautiful when you have company,” she notes.
Luxurious soap can transform an everyday necessity into a thoughtful gift. Steph Schlegelmilch highlights the Umé Cardamom Vetiver Soap, stating it elevates a powder room’s decor with its unique scent and design. “It’s an unexpected and unique gift,” she adds.
Another practical yet stylish option is the Ferm Living Ripple Carafe Set, recommended by Darci Hether. This set turns mundane moments into special ones, making it a perfect addition to any household.
A cozy cashmere throw is another suggestion from interior designer Kristina Lawrence. She believes that a beautifully made cashmere throw “isn’t just decor; it’s an invitation to slow down.” Its luxurious feel adds comfort and elegance to any space.
Fun and Memorable Gifts
For those who enjoy entertaining, a set of embroidered organic linen napkins from Coyuchi is an excellent gift choice. Yvonne Harty remarks that such pieces enhance gatherings and are often neglected in personal shopping. “It’s something people rarely splurge on for themselves,” she points out.
In a more playful vein, the Cereria Introna Candle in the shape of a baguette offers a whimsical touch that is bound to delight. Karina Plotko believes this gift stands out, as it is something recipients may not purchase for themselves but will appreciate.
For a deeply personal touch, Nicole Cole advocates for custom house portraits. The Philadelphia-based Etsy seller Erica Harney creates unique paintings that celebrate the essence of a home, making them a meaningful gift for anyone who has recently moved.
Finally, Mimi Meacham recommends candles from Schumacher, including the Citrus Garden Candle. “Not only do we love the fabrics and accessories from Schumacher, but the candles are fantastic,” she shares, highlighting their versatility as gifts.
With these curated suggestions from seasoned interior designers, gift-givers can approach the holiday season with confidence. Whether opting for practical items or whimsical touches, these gifts are sure to impress anyone on the list.
