What would Christmas be without lights, color, greenery, and glitter? Join leading professional designers on a tour of well-appointed private residences dressed in their festive best. The one-of-a-kind decorating schemes are a study in the art of using scale, shape, and color to play up the house’s best features and create a look that’s pulled together. Here are fresh design ideas for indoor and outdoor scenes, whether it’s a glamorous staircase, a pristine tree, perfectly wrapped piles of presents, or a simple, well-placed evergreen wreath. Representing a range of geographic locations and decorating philosophies, the designers share their tips, tricks, and traditions for celebrating the season in style, and in every room of the house.By Patricia Hart McMillan and Katharine Kaye McMillanPatricia Hart McMillan, author of 19 books on interior design, is an
