For those of us that live here in New Orleans, kicking off the new year and setting our resolutions must be multitasked with prepping for Festival Season and Mardi Gras! 2020 home trends are all about Ranch Style wide open and decluttered spaces. What if we told you there is a way to get your home in the Mardi Gras mood without the usual clutter? Lets talk about the three main things your homes needs to show its Mardi Gras support!

Don’t have hours to spend getting the house decorated for another holiday? Don’t “throw” away all hope of being fun and festive this year. The top Mardi Gras Home décor must have this year is throw pillows! Living in Louisiana means that cute decorative and festive throw pillows are in abundance and in most of local markets. Mardi Gras throw pillows are and easy and cute way to get your home in the festival mode, without overwhelming your gathering space. Mardi Gras pillows look great anywhere, but we suggest adding one or two pillows to your mud bench, couch or office areas for a fun festive look. Bonus is that throw pillows are easy to store in a tote at the end of each holiday season making them a must have for home décor.

                                                     

  Another Mardi Gras must have for 2020 is a front door wreath. Now this may seem obvious to many of you but having a loud and fun Mardi Gras wreath says it all. This is a quick and creative way to decorate the front of your home without out breaking the bank or spending hours in the lawn hanging decorations. A colorful festive wreath for Mardi Gras season not only connects your home with a New Orleans tradition, but is a fun and easy way to spruce up your entry way without adding a bunch of clutter.
