As you drive around Alta Vista admiring the historic homes decked for the holidays, it isn't every day you have a chance to step inside. Homes for the Holiday, a fundraiser for Hispanic Alliance, opened six homes with festive music, cozy cocktails, and indulgent bites. What we saw were trends from our Pinterest boards come to life.

All things burgundy

"It’s richer, moodier, and more timeless," Charleston designer Megan Molten told Southern Living. "It brings this sense of vintage luxury that feels so right for the holidays."

Keep it simple

"A big trend this year are garlands, trees, and greenery that are simple and can transition throughout fall, winter, and the holiday season," seasonal decor expert Shelby Waag said in Better Homes & Gardens.

Jewel tones

“Last year, minimalism was in," said rose farmer Tyler Francis in ELLE. "This year, designers are leaning towards an opulent color palette in jewel tones."
