This holiday season, be daring and try something new in your Christmas color decorations! Instead of the traditional red and green palette, try out a new color combination like red and white. These days, people are putting more thought into the look and theme of their tree than ever before. They want their Christmas decorations to go well with the design style of their home. There are a lot of decorating styles to choose from. The color red is festive and bold and it’s a traditional Christmas color (think of Santa’s clothing and Rudolf). Red is a very lively color and the combination of red and white will give your Christmas decorations a very modern look with a touch of elegance. It might seem daring but your guests will definitely be wowed by this bold color choice.
Here are some ideas on how to bring your tree and home decorations up a notch.
Let your tree sparkle by adding a bling effect. Choose ornaments that are shiny and sparkly. For making a tree truly sparkle, you need lights, lots of white non-flashing lights. It’s now ready for its close-up!
Give your tree a more personal touch. Decorate it in a theme that is meaningful to you.

Your fireplace is another focal point in your room. Make your fireplace decorations simple, so they won’t distract from the beauty of your tree.

Here, stockings are hung from the mantle, with white and red trees and white reindeers on top of it. How simple is that? I love this crisp clean look. Don’t you just love the twig wreath with the red and white ribbon? Fabulous mantle!
This is elegance personified! How beautiful!
The tree is not the only main event in your home. There’s also the table and more importantly the tablescape. Make your table settings as elegant as you want.
A warm and inviting table. Love the candy cane dishes.
Make your table as stylish as you want.
