Today, Albertazzi is an interior designer with her own studio, Studio Albertazzi, and the lead designer on Pamela Anderson\u2019s HGTV series Pamela\u2019s Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She continues to draw on that sense of wonder in her work, including her recent collaboration with Hycroft for the Holidays, a long-standing Vancouver tradition. This year\u2019s theme, Winter Garden, draws inspiration from the historic Hycroft estate and its McRae family roots, including the distinctive McRae tartan featured throughout the mansion\u2019s holiday decor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe theme was born of my seeing all these beautiful hydrangea blooms get clipped and tossed in the compost,\u201d she said. \u201cI love decorating with natural elements and incorporating the hydrangeas from the garden, and the colour blue ties in with the McRae family tartan so well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With a sense of enchantment and a touch of magic, Albertazzi shares some holiday staging trends that you can bring into your own home this year :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Embrace The Warmth with Layers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The holiday season brings cold, crisp days and warm evenings spent by the fireplace. Much like the layers of clothing one would wear during the winter months, Albertazzi enjoys experimenting with layering in design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou should delight the eye, and dazzle the guests with layers of wonder and light,\u201d she suggests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find delight in peeling back the layers of her fireplace display at Hycroft Manor: decadent curtains; a contemporary wreath wrapped around a classic statue; a bold pillow nestled alongside an elegant chair; and, of course, the distinctive McRae family tartan gently holding a bouquet of hydrangeas plucked from the garden.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Have Fun with Patterns<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While there\u2019s something to be said about the mystery of a gift wrapped in plain brown paper, nothing quite beats receiving a present wrapped in some wondrous, colourful, patterned gift wrap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The holidays, in Albertazzi\u2019s opinion, are a time to try out new staging designs in your home that you might not typically do otherwise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou may feel that neutral is best for the rest of the year, but lean into the patterns that the season aligns with,\u201d she encourages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some festive patterns you can use in your own home include :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Plaid \u2013 A classic and timeless option, it evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Gingham \u2013 Often used in cottage or farmhouse aesthetics, perfect for warmth and layering<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Stripes \u2013 Versatile and clean, which can make any space feel sleek and stylish<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Think Outside The Box with Colour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you were to close your eyes and visualise \u201cthe holidays\u201d, what colours would you see? Candy Cane Red? Forest Green? Silver Bells? White Snow?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While these classic colour palettes are timeless, Albertazzi invites others this year to think outside the traditional box when staging your home this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDo something that isn\u2019t traditional,\u201d she says. \u201cRed and green and gold are nice but how about working in tangerine? Navy blue? Soft pinks?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other colours you could consider this holiday season include cranberry, mocha, olive, or mint \u2014 all as delicious looking as they sound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Natural Materials Over Plastic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Favouring natural materials over plastic decorations this year doesn\u2019t have to break the bank, in Albertazzi\u2019s experience :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCheap and cheerful can often come in the form of foraging for greenery,\u201d she suggests. \u201cAlso, this experience is a lasting memory for kids and adults alike!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other favourite items from nature that she enjoys using in her design work include: pinecones, chestnuts, berries and rose hips, tangerines, pomegranates, nuts, and chocolate. Then, if you add in some string lights? Pure holiday magic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Find Ways to Honour Traditions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While trends are fun to play with, above all else, Albertazzi believes in timeless, thoughtful design. And what\u2019s more thoughtful than honouring your own family\u2019s holiday traditions?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI am Italian and grew up doing things differently from my Canadian friends, and loved it,\u201d she shares. \u201cWe had our big dinner on the 24th and, after opening the one gift Santa brought, we spent the day walking in the woods, visiting friends and exchanging gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Making homemade ornaments is one way you could create new festive memories while also decorating your tree in a way that\u2019s both meaningful and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/realestatemagazine.ca\/holiday-staging-trends-from-an-hgtv-designer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holiday Staging Trends From an HGTV Designer<\/a> by Jamie Burke | Real Estate Magazine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a child, Francesca Albertazzi loved the sense of anticipation that came with the holiday season \u2014 few things felt more exciting than waking up on Christmas morning to see &hellip;
