A Nashville Noel 

When it’s time to decorate for the holidays, designer Eric Ross gives “the field room,” one half of the family’s living room in his Nashville, Tennessee, home, a festive update that feels both refined and relaxed. Centered around a stately fireplace and a glittering Christmas tree, the space reflects his signature use of layered pattern and color, with rich browns and soft blues creating a sophisticated twist on classic holiday style.

Stationary panels and valances in a damask by Duralee, edged in a Greek key trim and hung on B&B Metal hardware, set a polished tone. Motorized Hunter Douglas roller shades filter the afternoon light, making the room as functional as it is beautiful. Over three decades of marriage, Eric and his wife, Ruthann, have collected ornaments and decorations that now fill the space with meaning, from feathers and velvet ribbons to Swarovski crystal snowflakes that shimmer softly in the glow of the season. 

For Eric and his family, the holidays are a time to reflect, rejoice and share in the simple joys of faith and togetherness, all set within a room that feels as welcoming as the holiday spirit itself.
