The trick to keeping this graphic look punchy, not ho-hum, is choosing the right shade of green. "This crisp apple hue pops perfectly—anything darker or lighter would fade into the tree," Lindsey says.

A playful paper lantern tops the tree, and the trailing garland and ribbons echo the colors of the rug's chevron stripes.
