A Maximalist Home with Nostalgic Holiday Charm

Content creator and designer Erika Kikola welcomes us inside her home where she has woven her personality and culture into every detail, crafting a space that is vibrant, nostalgic, and uniquely her own.

This holiday season, Erika’s home is a wonderland of vintage charm and festive artistry. Her show-stopping Christmas tree is adorned with nearly 1,500 dazzling glass ornaments, each one a treasure with its own story. Handmade paper chains drape alongside an eclectic mix of nostalgic holiday decor, while lush garlands spill across mantels, staircases, and entryways, creating a joyful and immersive atmosphere.

Erika’s love for vintage pop culture and the colorful worlds of old cartoons inspire her design aesthetic, making every room feel like a scene from a magical story. One standout feature is her custom-designed wallpaper—a deeply personal homage to her Appalachian heritage and a love letter to the women in her life, grounding the home in both history and heart. Enjoy!
