101 Holiday Decorating Ideas    A Festive Room  1. Less is more.
In their Connecticut home, Eddie Ross and Jaithan Kochar limited
themselves to basic glass ornaments in a handful of shades for
their living room's tree: blue, green, and gold. The presents
beneath it benefit from a similar restraint. "You live with the
packages until you give them away," Ross points out. "Why not
have them match?"  2. Don't overlook the obvious. Bare windows
offer the ultimate blank canvas; the couple took advantage of it
with wreaths of juniper and blue spruce, mounted using adhesive
hooks (3M Command hooks, $3.99 for three-pack; staples.com).
