Last Minute Holiday Decorating

By Michelle Ecker on December 22, 2015

From end tables to throw pillows to paint samples and more, tune in to the design blog every Tuesday afternoon to check out our choice for NYIAD’s featured look of the week.

This week’s favorite comes to us from Apartment Therapy.

Last Minute Holiday Decorating

Many of us don’t have the time or financial luxury to fund a complete interior revamp every season. However, you don’t need to spend a ton of time or money in order to give your home a fresh update for the holidays.

This week’s featured look offers some simple solutions for last minute decorating. If you’re expecting guests, these quick fixes are a great way to add some festivity in an easy way.
