🌿 CLUTTER-FREE HOLIDAY DECORATING

Decorate Without the Overwhelm

Keep decorations simple, intentional, and easy to store.

Decor principles:

• Choose a neutral base palette (whites, beiges, soft greens)
• Add one or two accent colors for interest
• Layer textures instead of adding lots of objects
• Prioritize decor you truly love over “filler” pieces

Simple styling formulas:

• Coffee table: tray + candle + small decor piece
• Mantle: garland + 2–3 anchored pieces (trees, houses, candles)
• Entry table: basket for mail + seasonal stem or wreath
