Less Can Be More

Simplify holiday set-up (and take down) by minimizing your decor. For our design, a bare flocked tree in the adjacent room and small decorations can be taken down and stored away again in a matter of minutes.

Holiday up any room with a seasonal area rug. Year-round, this kitchen features glossy white painted floors. To add a Christmasy pop, we brought in a vintage rug in shades of red and charcoal.
