Glitterville

Glitterville is the wonderfully imaginative creation of artist and designer Stephen Brown, whose unmistakable approach to holiday decorating proves that more color, more sparkle and more personality can be very good things. Before creating Glitterville, Stephen studied costume design and worked in New York, where his creative experiences included costume work and Fifth Avenue window displays. He eventually began making ornaments of his own, turning a lifelong love of crafting and celebrating into the colorful world that became Glitterville in 2003. That theatrical background still shines through today in characters and decorations that often feel like they have stepped directly out of an elaborate holiday stage set.

Rather than relying on traditional holiday color palettes, Glitterville embraces bright pinks, candy pastels, saturated oranges, shimmering metallics and plenty of glitter and gold. Halloween becomes a sweet and spooky fantasy filled with colorful pumpkins, witches and fanciful characters, while Christmas brings whimsical Santas, sparkling trees, ornaments and candy-inspired decorations. Collections such as Trick or Sweet capture Glitterville's playful approach particularly well, blending Halloween décor with the colors and visual treats of a candy shop. The result is holiday décor that feels nostalgic in spirit but completely distinctive in execution.

Glitterville pieces are especially fun to display in layers. A large figure or statement decoration can establish the theme, while smaller ornaments, tabletop characters, colorful trees and coordinating accents fill out the scene. For Halloween, try mixing Glitterville pumpkins and figures with bottle brush trees, candy-colored garlands and other whimsical Halloween collectibles. At Christmas, pastel ornaments, sparkling tabletop trees and candy-inspired decorations can create a playful alternative to traditional red and green. Collectors can embrace an entire Glitterville color story or simply add one wonderfully unexpected piece to a larger holiday display.
