Here are 5 color schemes to inspire you this holiday season!
Traditional Christmas
When I think of Christmas, I instantly envision classic red, deep evergreen, and warm gold. This color scheme evokes all those cozy and nostalgic vibes. This is such a timeless look and will truly never go out of style.
To create this color scheme in your own home, incorporate things like plaid ribbons, evergreen wreaths, mercury glass ornaments, and warm candlelight.

Colorful & Playful Christmas
Bring on the color! You can really have so much fun with this theme! You can pick any color in the rainbow for this theme, and it would be gorgeous. This color scheme allows you to get those creative juices flowing, creating a magical, whimsical Christmas.
You could go the pastel route and choose soft colors like blush, mint, pale blue, and soft lavender. Or go more moody and choose colors like emerald, sapphire, ruby, and amethyst.
This color scheme is perfect for anyone who loves a bright and happy holiday style. To achieve this look, use colorful ornaments, mixed ribbons, playful patterns, and bold garlands.
This would be so pretty on a flocked Christmas tree, allowing the colors to really pop!

It is perfect for a subtle, calming home during the holiday season. To create this look, use natural or faux greenery, woven textures, dried oranges, wood beads, linen stockings, matte ceramics, and velvet textures.

Monochromatic Christmas
Pick a tone and go with it! From the ornaments to the ribbons, to the stockings, all the way down to your wrapping paper, you can achieve the most beautiful monochromatic look.
What is monochromatic? Monochromatic is a clean, modern, statement-making style. When you choose one color and layer it with different tones of that color, you create a curated, high-end feel.
