It’s Christmas! Finally that time of year when you can get creative with your Christmas decor and transform your home into a winter wonderland full of festive cheer.
From your front door to your living and dining room, hallways and more there’s no reason you can’t go all out with your Christmas decorating, however before you go overboard, it’s important to plan a colour scheme.
When it comes to Christmas decorating less is more when it actually comes to colours. We may all associate Christmas with red and green, however more style conscious Christmas colour schemes call for metallics and neutrals to inject festive vibes into the home this year.
Modern day Christmas decor is of course a mixture of both Pagan, Germanic and Christian influences, so adopting natural foliage and neutral tones is a great way to keep your Christmas colour scheme both traditional, stylish and completely bearable.
For the Magpie’s amongst you who love to inject a little glitz into your Christmas colour scheme then metallic’s are your friends – mix gold and silver with sumptuous glassy jewel tones and your Christmas colour scheme will scream luxury.
When it comes to choosing which colour scheme will fit best with your home you may want to employ the use of a professional. “Someone else can decorate my house for Christmas?!” Well yes! There are plenty of interior professionals out there who can be your Christmas elf and give you a Christmas look to die for so when all your friends and family pop in for a mulled wine they’ll think you’re some sort of home interiors guru. All whilst you act completely cool and accept praise for your effortless festive style.
When it comes to calling in professional help it’s still worth having an idea of what colours you think will work well as you’ll be able to work with an interior stylist to achieve your desired look. For inspiration take a look at trends for 2016 such as the Pantone Fall Colour Chart where you’ll see teal, mustard, and Aurora Red all making headlines for 2016 colour schemes.
