Amp up your mantel with
a monochromatic display of
different heights and sizes
for visual interest. Hang
Christmas stockings with

Safety tip: Don’t place lit

candles on the mantel.
Use electric candles if you like
the look of glowing flames.
Candles: Madeline Harper; designed by The Identité Collective. Vintage pieces: Layla Palmer. Layers: Amy Neunsinger.
Showcase your treasures.
Use your mantel as a spot to play up your favorite vintage finds,
from a chalkboard sign in a unique frame to an assortment of
ceramics that you’ve collected over time. If your arrangement
consists mainly of neutrals, infuse them with a dose of color
by adding tall, leafy branches or small bowls of fresh produce
(think limes) for an unexpected touch.
Mix heights,
sizes and shapes.
Varying visual heights is important,
especially atop a mantel. Enliven yours
with a combination of stylish pieces,
including candlesticks, artwork and
decorative vessels. Overlap layers to
create a sense of depth.
Go grand with a mirror.
Accentuate high ceilings with a large reflective
surface on the mantel. Surround it with an abundance
of plants, flowers, artwork and curios.
Hang a wreath!
In this outdoor living room, designer Maggie Griffin layered
a festive wreath over a mirror. “Outdoor gathering spaces should
be treated as interior rooms,” she says. “I loved having a vintage
bamboo mirror over the fire. The addition of a faux-berry garland
was a playful yet elevated nod to the holiday season.”

While showcasing a full range of collectibles
is a great styling approach, you can simplify
it with a vignette on a single side. Here, two

To keep your decor fresh without changing it monthly, highlight aspects of the

Play with primaries.

After living in a home with a neutral kitchen,
a fun-loving family turned to designer Karen
Nepacena of Destination Eichler to breathe life into
their new space. Nepacena settled on a mix
of red, blue and yellow for the transformation.
“Kerf Design’s vibrant cabinet finish colors really

the perfect palette to work into the kitchen.”

This kitchen features a single alley-facing window,

went two paint shades lighter than the desired finished
look. “When we painted these cabinets outside in
natural light, it felt like a bright spring green,” she
says. “As soon as we installed them in the kitchen
with limited natural lighting, they went much darker,
like the moody green we’d hoped for.”
Opt for a

Rather than view a dark bar
area as a challenge, designer Paloma
Contreras embraced it, pairing
cabinets painted in Benjamin Moore’s

PICK A buLb type

before SHOPPING.
Compact fluorescent bulbs cost
less up front, but LEDs are more
cost-effective in the long run.
BE AWARE OF
THE LUMEN COUNT.
Brightness is measured in
lumens, so pay attention to
this instead of wattage to
get the light you desire. For the
equivalent of a 60-watt bulb,
look for at least 800 lumens.
CHOOSE YOUR COLOR.
Color temperature is a way to
describe the appearance of the
light provided by a bulb, measured
in degrees Kelvin, which ranges
from warm white (2600K to
3200K) to bright white (3200K
to 4500K) to daylight (4500K
to 6500K). Reading nooks need
cooler, higher temps; workspaces
call for bright white; and soft
white works well for lounging areas.

Human-centric lighting (HCL),
which mimics the sun’s movement,
can improve your overall health.
Creating HCL is as simple as
screwing a color-changing smart
bulb into a fixture. Then download
the app listed on the packaging,
sync up the bulb and set the HCL

even add more bulbs into the

This playful pool bathroom, designed by Caron Woolsey, features a graphic coated wallpaper that “aids in the light’s reflectiveness,

according to NEDA: You’re a major label-

of certain ingredients on your health; you cut out
entire categories of food (carbs, say, or cooked
food, or anything with sugar); you’re so focused
on “clean” eating that there aren’t many foods
that work for you; you’re really upset when
there’s nothing on the menu or at an event that

keenly interested in what other people are

lifestyle accounts on social media. None of
these on its own constitutes a disorder — the
point, says Garnett, is how much time and
emotional energy such preoccupations take up.

The name Beef Wellington may
have been inspired by the Duke
of Wellington, who defeated
Napoléon Bonaparte at the Battle
of Waterloo in 1815. But the
dish didn’t become an American

1960s, after Julia Child featured
it on her television show

How We Test
1 SAFETY CHECK
Our engineers and
analysts start by ensuring
that each toy meets all
safety standards. They
also assess pinch points
and make sure toys
won’t shatter into small
pieces to pose a potential
choking hazard.
2 EASE OF USE
Next, we carefully
evaluate how simple
each toy is to assemble
and also how well it’s
constructed and how
durable it is during play.
3 KID APPROVAL
Final decisions come
from more than 100
children, ages 1 to 15, who
assess the fun factor!
