How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your house decorations in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Soft Ivory (#EFE6D5) for walls and ceilings.
- 3Run cords along edges and secure them flat; a display that trips the mail carrier is not festive.
- 4Bring in carved walnut and bentwood and leaded stained glass — the two signature materials of Art Nouveau design.
- 5Add one statement piece: curved bentwood or carved-back chairs.
- 6Finish with amber glass (#C98A2C) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.

Mistakes to avoid
- Mixing warm white and cool white lights in the same display, which looks like a burnt-out section.
- Overloading one outlet or circuit - check the amp rating and spread loads across circuits.
- Attaching decorations with nails, staples or screws that leave permanent holes in siding and trim.
Budget tips
- Switch to LED light strings - they use far less energy than incandescent strings and last for many seasons.
- Buy decorations in the January clearance sales at steep discounts and store them labeled by zone.
- Make wreaths and garlands from garden clippings - evergreen branches, pinecones and dried oranges cost almost nothing.
