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.

- 6Finish with warm sand (#E5D3B3) 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.

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.
