The Holiday Palette

Winter Holidays are not set in the traditional colors now; you can go beyond the traditional red and green and make your home glitter with any palette.  Whatever colors you use, keep it unified with harmonious tones. You can use a color in general or try using various colors per room. Whatever palette you choose it should reflect your decorating preferences and highlight the rooms with personal touches. 


Use wintery white hues or ivory with a
brilliant combination of aqua, chartreuse, and blue. Another option would be to use a royal blue or purple with gold or silver garland, or use a rustic affair with rusts, gold, and autumn greens accompanied by crystal fruit or butterflies.  Wherever you decorate it should be dripping with metallic silver or gold, icy-blues or greens, and shimmering cascades of frosty crystals. These tones will set the stage for a dazzling holiday theme that will be everyone’s dream and envy.

There is more space than just your tree to decorate; using ornaments sporadically throughout the home in a simple way can be an unexpected surprise.  Use natural elements, such as your mirrors to reflect trinkets of beads and ribbons.  Use sprigs of frosted berry branches and add glittery ribbons and bows. Tie your lamps, table legs, and many handles with ribbons to add a spirited sparkle of glitz. Wrap potted plants and various boxes and accessories with bows to portray gifts, and safely use votive and seasonal candles to warm the room with comfort and joy. 


 

Nothing brings out the holiday spirit more than a compellation of seasonal music. The setting can reflect a spirited or muted environment, depending on the music you choose.  Set the stage for a beautiful holiday season and invite friends and family over for a cup of tea or eggnog.  In whatever manner you choose to decorate—or celebrate—Set your palette for high spirits and holiday cheer.
