Move over, red and green: Etsy has released its 2021 holiday trends report, and number one on the list is a 47 percent increase in searches for “colorful, pastel, or neon holiday items” on its website. Vibrant tones aren’t just popping up on fashion runways; they’re paving the way for a festive end to this roller coaster of a year.

If you are planning on incorporating pastel blues, hot pinks, or highlighter yellows for your celebrations, note that brights look most sophisticated when paired with neutral colors and fabrics. For example, a natural linen tablecloth and napkins are just the right laid-back contrast to flashy neon candles. You don’t need to invest in a lot of pieces: We’ve rounded up some small details that will pop anywhere, from the table to the tree.
