The Wrap Up: Monochromatic Wrapping

Simply, monochromatic wrapping is matching the ribbon to the wrapping paper, and it is an easy way to create a chic looking present. When the choices get overwhelming and you don't know how to make a box look sophisticated, grab a matching ribbon and call it a day!

High end department stores and luxury retailers have been using this trick forever. From Nordstroms silver boxes with matching silver ribbon to Louis Vuitton's brown-on-brown wrapping, the lack of contrast gives an elevated aesthetic to the gifts overall appearance.
