‘Happenstance’ is how Architectural Digest’s special projects editor and noted style maker, Carolyn Roehm, describes her design aesthetic when it comes to breathing life into her holiday table concepts. But ‘majestic’ and ‘whimsical’ are the bon mots that pop into the minds of most people when the eye feasts on her color-inspired sparkle for holiday entertaining.

There’s no question that November triggers the time of year when you can and should purposefully elevate the look of your holiday home. Now, you too can follow Roehm’s journey from design concept, which incorporates such treasures as jewel-toned lighting, candles, crystals and mirrors, to its fittingly spectacular end result: a polished and finished look that will reimagine your holiday entertaining into more spirited and glittery ways.
