Figure B
Figure A--Turn a mantel into a true focal point with a mantel cloth. Add stockings on holiday hangers and flocked pine cones. Mix elegant textures such as ribbons and velvet with stars made from grapevines.

Figure B--Add some fun to a tree by using novelty lights and collectible ornaments. Lights like these vintage bubble lights are relatively expensive, but only a few are needed when blended in with scores of more traditional lights.

Figure D
Figure C--Don't stop with a tree and the mantel. Replace day-to-day throw pillows and room accessories with those featuring a holiday feel.

Figure D--Finally, trim the windows with garland wreaths, and add kitschy holiday touches like a plastic reindeer lounging beside the easy chair.
