Lead Christmas Designer

Jena Peeples

Jena and I have worked together in the design industry before, so I know firsthand the level of talent, care, and professionalism she brings to her work. I trust her creative instincts completely and feel confident placing the Cardinal Christmas experience in her very capable hands.

As Cardinal’s Lead Christmas Designer, Jena will guide our clients through the entire process, from the initial conversation and creative planning to leading our team on installation day. She cannot wait to help your family create a holiday home that feels personal, welcoming, and filled with Christmas magic.

real talk.

A beautiful Christmas shouldn’t come at the expense of enjoying it.

The holiday season is full of meaningful traditions, but it can also bring an especially long to-do list. Between work, family commitments, and all the moments you want to be present for, finding the time to thoughtfully decorate your home can feel overwhelming.

That’s where Cardinal Interiors comes in. We’ll create and install a beautifully layered Christmas design that feels personal to your family, giving you more time to enjoy the season and the people who make it special.

Can we incorporate your existing Christmas décor? Absolutely. We’re happy to thoughtfully include sentimental ornaments, family heirlooms, and other meaningful pieces you love displaying each year. We’ll pair those treasured items with carefully selected new décor to create a cohesive, elevated design that feels both beautifully refreshed and unmistakably yours.

Step one
Apply & Connect
Begin by completing our Christmas Design Application. If your project is a good fit, we'll invite you to schedule a complimentary Discovery Call to discuss your home, holiday style, and vision for the season. From there, we'll finalize your scope, agreement, and retainer to officially reserve your installation date.
Step two
Design & Source
Next, we'll create a custom Christmas design inspired by your home, personal style, and favorite traditions. You'll review your design before we thoughtfully source and order each element needed to bring the vision to life.
Step three
Install & Enjoy
Once your décor has arrived, our team will transform your home on installation day, styling every tree, garland, ribbon, and finishing touch. When you return, all that's left to do is experience the reveal and enjoy a beautifully designed Christmas with the people you love.

Let’s talk investment.

What should I expect to invest?

Every Christmas design is customized to your home, so the final investment will depend on the size and scope of your project. Before moving forward, we’ll provide a personalized proposal so you have a clear understanding of the anticipated costs.

Our Christmas Design rates include:

Lead Christmas Designer$150 per hour
Design Assistants$75 per hour, per assistant
Travel beyond our 30-mile service area$50

New Christmas Design projects begin with a minimum investment of $2,500. At least $1,500 of that minimum is allocated toward new décor selected specifically for your home, while the remaining investment may be applied toward design and installation labor.

Because each project is unique, the final investment may exceed the minimum based on the amount of décor needed, the size of the installation, and the number of team members required.
