jazz up
Make more exciting
To jazz up something is to make it more lively, interesting, or attractive: She jazzed up the presentation with some graphics, He jazzed up his outfit with a colorful tie.
The phrase draws on jazz music's association with energy and improvisation.
You jazz up things that seem plain, dull, or in need of embellishment.
