Deck the Halls with Various Colors (Fa la la la la…)

Thursday, December 14th, 2017

Use the Thomasville Bedroom Neo Classic Chest 85034-760 as a Christmas element or keep throughout the year, it’s all up to you.

Christmas decoration does not have to default to the red and green theme. This is the holiday season so you have to unleash the inner child and play with colors that you can use in your home. Now let’s find out how pinks, blues, and golds can all give the same (if not an increased) amount of joy that the red and green theme can offer.

Let’s be Blue

At least just with your color theme for this season.

Use the color of the beautiful seas to decorate your home. A nautical holiday look is the perfect look when you use blue ribbons and decorate your Christmas tree with seashells, mermaid ornaments, and little boats. It’s time to deviate from the usual red and green Christmas balls with blinking fairy lights.

This time, redesign with teal blue, especially if you have a young, exciting family. Distribute the hue with green and blue ornaments which overflow on your mantel. Add blue and green chairs to balance the unique look.

Cap the look by hanging a festive artwork right above your living room’s fireplace.

The Inspirational Wallpaper

What is your current wallpaper color? Again, your Christmas home doesn’t always have to be green-or-red-inspired. Now, you can take whatever color your wallpaper has (if there are many, then find the dominant hue). Use this as the anchor color to decorate the rest of your home.

Glamorize with Gold

Even in an already glitzy room, gold is still a welcome sight. This is the color of Nordstrom and Donna Karan, and Calvin Klein, practically every fashionable place or brand that you can find.

But don’t automatically go for the stunning gold. Use a different tint such as rose gold. Think of the holidays as your chance to decorate with subdued enthusiasm (now that’s an exciting oxymoron there). This hue is pretty and is aesthetically easy on the eye.

Use rose gold on your vignette of neutral tones, and a linen table runner.

Uttermost Accessories Benedetto Glass Bottles, S/2 20075 have metallic and purple elements to make your home more exciting this Christmas.

Regally Purple

Purple may not be the first color that comes to anyone’s mind when they are decorating for Christmas but you shouldn’t limit your imagination to just the bright, energetic colors.

Purple is a very regal color and when you decide to use it on your sofa, Christmas balls,  bulbs, and your accent pieces this holiday, then you’re in for a wonderful, fashionable surprise.

How about being different this year by donning a purple Christmas tree? And how about displaying silver bells with purple pinecones? This is an amazing replacement for the usual red and green wreath. And if you’re still feeling up to it, add some sugar plum and silver toy soldiers by the corner.

Purple poinsettias? They are truly amazing!

Or Just be Black and White

Who says that black and white is for any other season ‘cept Christmas? Continue your simple home design during the holidays as you set up pared-down rooms. Most of the time, the festive banner says it all while the rest of the decorative elements remain simple and subdued.

Metallic Christmas

Amp up the usual winter wonderland theme by adding metallic elements. Glittering reindeers and elves are elements that you can use on the mantel. The Christmas tree could be white but the rest of the décor can come in silver, rose gold, and chrome. Use fairy lights to emphasize the shimmering décor.

Try these elements against a white backdrop and you would surely marvel at how your home has become so pleasantly different.

Don’t end the metallic theme with your Christmas tree, metallic balls, and fairy lights. Continue the visually festive scene at your dining table. Use metal-inspired placemats, table runner, napkin rings, and goblets.

The Minimalist Holiday Décor

Monday, December 11th, 2017

Welcome your guests with this colorful Capel Incorporated Floor Coverings Botanical Rug 0609CS Poinsettia.

Christmas.

Oh, the very word brings excitement to your very core. Yet there are messes that come with the holidays. Just imagine the state of your kitchen and dining room during these days and you’d probably have a migraine. The scenario becomes doubly dizzying if you have to take into consideration all the decorative elements that need to be set up.

This year, why don’t you take a simpler, more hassle-free approach?

Foliage Does It

Who says you have to set up the most elaborate decoration this Christmas? If you have vacant walls, then it’s time to utilize them this holiday.

Plant leaves, the ones that are visually pleasing for architectural ornamentation can be used to don your walls this coming Christmas. The best ones are those that come with artsy branches and colorful leaves. These should give your home an artistic balance as it is flooded with greens and reds which are the staple hues for this season.

Yes to Faux Fur

This fur may be an imitation of the real deal but it is still originally beautiful.  Visit your local fabric store and measure the faux fur that you need. This is one of the best ways to cozy up your space this holiday season.

Faux fur is also best for rooms that need an extra oomph in terms of texture.

Faux fur is tidy, neat, homey – all the things that you would want your home to be this Christmas.

Scandinavian It Is

Scandinavian design is also referred to as Nordic or even shabby chic by some people. This is as pared down as it could get in terms of winter design.

Scandinavian interiors are basically homes with wood flooring softened with sheepskins or rugs. These are rooms that have muted colors yet, somehow, the design elements are still beautifully cohesive.

Wood is a fairly common element in many Scandinavian-styled homes. Just remember to keep the light theme going by using woods like ash, beech, and pine.

Be Crafty

Just visit sites like Pinterest and you will see a lot of ideas for Christmas crafts. Here are just some of such amazing ideas –

  • Fill your mason jars with a Christmas-themed craft. It can be the small cottage of Santa Claus on North Pole or it can be a reindeer-driven sleigh.
  • Get five wooden sticks with the same length, form a star and fasten the edges with raffia twine. That’s the Christmas star to you.
  • Your Christmas tree doesn’t have to be real this season. Try to be different by taping up your decorative cutout of a tree or have the walls stenciled with lovely Christmas décor.
  • Create Santa Claus, angels, Rudolph, elves, and other figures using styrofoam, glue, felt paper, glitter, and just about any material that reminds you of Christmas.
  • Print some stationery templates.
  • Bake some Christmas cookies, place them inside decorative mason jars and you instantly create a part of a lovely dining table centerpiece.

Bluer Than Blue

It is 2018 soon so make the most of this wintry season. Adorn your tables with blue plates and dark blue napkins with gold rings. Get some more branches and leaves from your yard and lay them out together with some scented candles as a centerpiece.

Instead of using your usual Christmas tablecloth, go bare this time then just place a white table runner to emphasize the green, yellow, blues, and golds on the table.

Amp Up the Bar

It’s Christmas! So you will surely be welcoming exuberant guests. Welcome them to a fully-stocked bar especially when you want to get fancy. You have also prepped for the New Year as you fill the bar with spirits.
