Joanna Gaines Home Collection: Cozy Pillows, Holiday Details and Tabletop

Joanna Gaines is Magnolia’s co-owner and co-founder, editor in chief of Magnolia Journal, and a New York Times bestselling author. Born in Kansas and raised in Texas, she graduated from Baylor with a communications degree and reached a national audience through Fixer Upper.

Magnolia began as a 1,800-square-foot home decor shop in 2003 and now spans furniture, decor, apparel, a magazine, and a television network. That range feels distinctly Jo to me: home is not a showroom but a place for people, meals, and stories to collect.

In her holiday farmhouse tour, Jo keeps the sitting area neutral and layers in a tree, mercury ornaments, old books under a cloche, and staircase garland tied with velvet ribbon. Dried oranges and greenery carry the story to her mantel, while a wreath and miniature tree lend the window table a quieter note.

The fall 2026 issue of Magnolia Journal takes up Joanna’s idea of letting after-dinner hours run on, with a progressive dinner, garden perennials, and slow-cooked meals. I love that same ease in this mix, where tactile pillows and throws meet nostalgic tree ornaments, heirloom tabletop, and small display pieces.

I would begin with the Settle In Plaid Throw and a Hand-Painted Glass Ornament, then let the rest of the room grow around them. A few meaningful objects, layered light, and a table ready for company feel truer to Joanna’s design story than a room finished all at once. That is the Magnolia mood I would bring home for the colder months.
