There’s nothing like the holidays in the sky. For the ultra-luxury homeowner, the season is less about tradition — and more about curation. From curated scentscapes to designer décor and champagne-ready tablescapes, your penthouse deserves a holiday look that’s as elevated as its views.
Here’s how to transform your home into a seasonal sanctuary of style, sophistication, and sensory allure.
1. Set the Mood With Signature Scents
Forget cinnamon and candy canes — luxury scenting is an art. The right fragrance can shape the entire mood of your space.
Top Holiday Scent Pairings:
-
Diptyque "Sapin" or “Ambre”: Notes of pine and warm resin — modern, not cliché.
-
Jo Malone "Myrrh & Tonka": Deep, sensual, and layered — perfect for evening soirees.
-
Le Labo “Santal 26” (Home Spray): Understated luxury with a smoky finish.
Pro Tip: Use scent zoning — one scent for the entry, another for the entertaining space, and something softer for bedrooms.
2. Luxe Tablescapes that Dazzle
Your dining table should be a work of art — whether it’s a holiday brunch or a New Year’s Eve dinner party.
Styling Ideas:
-
Table Linens: Opt for white or midnight velvet, layered with metallic runners (gold or chrome depending on your design aesthetic).
-
Place Settings: Mix matte black chargers, gold cutlery, and crystal stemware for modern elegance.
-
Florals: Go architectural with white amaryllis, black calla lilies, and deep green magnolia leaves in glass or stone vessels.
Where to Source:
-
Trove or Teatro Verde (Toronto)
-
ABASK (for global luxury tabletop pieces)
-
Maison de Carine (for couture tablescape rentals)
3. Decorate With Restraint and Intent
Minimalism is not about doing less — it’s about choosing better. Focus on curated accents that reflect both your space and lifestyle.
Key Accents:
-
Sculptural trees: Matte white, black or lucite trees styled with monochrome or metallic ornaments.
-
Statement wreaths: Oversized eucalyptus or feather wreaths for a door or interior window.
-
Lighting: Swap harsh lights for dimmed gold LEDs, candelabras, or flameless taper candles.
High-Luxury Sources:
-
Restoration Hardware, Figue, Aerin, and CB2 Luxe.
-
Custom installs via Penthouse Queen concierge (including holiday florists and stylists).
4. Elevate the Experience
Seasonal glamour isn’t just visual — it’s experiential.
Holiday Touches that Impress:
-
Custom cocktail stations with engraved crystal decanters.
-
A curated vinyl playlist on a vintage turntable — think Frank Sinatra, Sade, or deep house for NYE.
-
Designer throws and pillows in rich jewel tones or metallic accents to warm up minimalist furniture.
