Wrapping Supply Decor

Put yarn, bows and ribbon on display by placing them in clear, glass vessels. This is also a great way to get kids and family members excited to help wrap gifts as the holidays approach.

Fancy Fur

Put a wintry spin on your dining chairs by draping faux sheepskin or fur along the back. The rich texture brightens the space and adds a cozy touch to the chairs' rigid lines.

Cozy Throws

For a touch of seasonal warmth, layer a colorful throw over the faux fur accent. This a great way to add a splash of color during the holidays. Plus, the same look can be achieved with pastels in the spring and earth tones in the fall.

Neutral Underfoot

Just like pillows and throws, a quick area rug swap can add seasonal flair to a space. This jute rug is not only perfect year-round, but thanks to its bleached look, it’s neutral enough to play well with a wintery palette.

Bright, White Light

Anytime you're decorating with bold colors, remember that ultra-white helps keep the high-energy hues balanced. Almost any color works well in this space for a seasonal look, thanks to permanent white decor like the aluminum pendant.
