Cue the Color

This gift-wrapping space puts a new spin on Christmasy colors. It's decorated from floor to ceiling with saturated shades to put a pop art spin on seasonal decor.

Brighten Up Your Bedroom

Spruce up your bedroom by mixing in saturated tones with your existing bedding and pillows. A simple wreath hung above the bed or even on the headboard adds a touch of Christmas charm that's easy to put up and take down.

Festive Felt

To jazz up windows with technicolor flair, add cheery felt garland. This can be made at home with a circular stencil, scissors, felt and a sewing machine.

Gift-Wrapping Station

Turn any space into a gift-wrapping station with a collection of cheerfully colored supplies and essentials. For some Christmasy charm, place fresh-cut greenery in vases.

Roll In the Color

Start the season off right with a rolling gift-wrap supply cart. This narrow, lightweight cart adds organization and extra storage space to any spot in the house. The tinted semi-transparent drawers are excellent for keeping ribbon, yarn and stationery sorted by color.

Gift Glow Up

If you're short on space and don't have all that much square footage to decorate for the holidays, deck out with the actual gifts themselves. This offers a great way to get more bang for your buck: gift presentation and decor all in one.

Add Tiny Touches

Add technicolor touches with small holiday decor items grouped together — like stacks of gift boxes, ornaments displayed in bowls and multihued bottlebrush trees.

Candle Switch-Up

Add an unexpected touch anywhere in the house by swapping your standard pillars for brightly colored candles. Skip greys and neutrals and instead group together greens, reds, yellows and blues.
