Last winter, my bedroom felt flat. The door stared back, plain white. I hung one simple garland. Suddenly, cheer spilled in every time I walked by.
It changed mornings. Light hit the greens, and I smiled before coffee.
Bedroom doors get overlooked. They're your private entry. A little holiday touch there warms the whole room without crowding the bed.
I've tested dozens. Some flopped. These 23 stick.
