I’m a bit nuts for garlands and bunting. And there’s nothing more happy than a big colorful puff ball. Most people save such extravagant displays for specific occasions. But why if birthdays have all of the fun?
These homes keep their happy, festive decoration all year round, so they’re always ready to party.

1. Garlands. Colorful fabric pennant garlands add an instant dose of festivity. I love them at a nursery school, where they maintain a joyful watch above a baby.
But garlands are not just for infants. This knitted one goes together with all the crafty, artsy look of this living area.

Oilcloth pennants can hang outside all year long, and they add as much brightness and happiness into a space. Not everything has to be buttoned down and grown-up.

A simple strand of pink flags gives a lot of personality and friendliness into an otherwise formal and well-appointed guest room. You can just tell the owners really are fun people to stay with.

2. Pom-poms. Tissue paper pom-poms might just be the biggest bang for the buck when it comes to colour, texture and pure pleasure. Why not store them around all of the time? It beats painting and repainting the walls as colour tastes change.

Like garlands, pompoms are a big explosion of happiness at a nursery school.

3. Streamers. These fabric streamers hung at a wagon wheel from the middle of the room add both coziness and a circus-like cheer.

4. String lights. Simple strings of white lights wrapped like a ceiling within an outdoor table create even the plainest backyard feel amazing, intimate and fun.

These strands of white lighting break up the formality and symmetry of the backyard and add instant romance.

You can find exactly the exact same feeling inside. And if all of the additional lights are out, you can pretend you are taking a look at the night sky.

5. Paper lanterns. They are both fun and sophisticated. Oh, and they cost about $5 a pop.

A bunch of colorful paper lanterns has exactly the exact same impact as a balloon bouquet, but they last a lot longer.

These neat rows of easy lanterns and garlands look like jeweled sculptures hanging from the ceiling of the bright, modern room.
