Yes...we know it's 85 degrees outside.

Yes...Target already has Halloween decorations out.

And yes...we're about to talk about Christmas.

Before you roll your eyes, hear us out.

If you've ever said:

✨ "I wish we had finished the kitchen before everyone came over."

✨ "Next year we'll finally update the living room."

✨ "We really need more seating before hosting the holidays."

...then July is actually the perfect time to start planning.

The truth is, beautiful homes don't happen overnight.

Custom furniture, window treatments, wallpaper, cabinetry, lighting, and renovation schedules all take time. Starting now means you can actually enjoy the holidays instead of scrambling to finish projects (or strategically hiding unfinished rooms behind closed doors).

Whether you're dreaming about:

A dining room that comfortably hosts Thanksgiving dinner
A living room that's ready for cozy movie nights
A kitchen designed for holiday baking and entertaining
Or finally tackling that renovation you've been putting off...
Now is the time.

Holiday Project Timeline

Want your home holiday-ready? Here's when the magic happens...

July–August: Dream It & Design It
This is when we create your vision, finalize layouts, select furnishings, and develop a plan that fits your home and lifestyle.

August–September: Order All the Good Stuff
Custom furniture, drapery, lighting, wallpaper, rugs, and accessories are ordered (because the best pieces aren't sitting in a warehouse waiting for Santa).

September–October: Install & Style
Construction wraps up, furniture arrives, artwork goes on the walls, pillows get fluffed, and every finishing touch comes together.

November: Host with Confidence
Instead of panic cleaning the guest room or apologizing for unfinished projects, you're welcoming friends and family into a home that's ready to celebrate.

Our Favorite Holiday Decorating Tip?

Design your home so it looks beautiful before the decorations come out.

The Christmas tree should be the finishing touch, not the thing that distracts from everything else.

At Sarah Jacquelyn Interiors, we specialize in creating colorful, authentic homes that feel collected, personal, and designed for real life... holidays included.

Let's Make This Your Year.

Schedule your complimentary Design Discovery Call, and let's start creating a home you'll be excited to welcome friends and family into this holiday season.
