Red and green used to be the staple colors when it came to holiday decor, with a smattering of silver and gold thrown in for good measure. Now, however, it seems that anything goes when it comes to holiday decor; lime, aqua, pink, and others are all commonplace when strolling down the Christmas aisle.
When purchasing new holiday decorations, you want to be sure that you select a color scheme that meshes well not only with your existing decor, but with the style of your room and your wall paint colors.
Here are a few home decorating pro-tips for blending your holiday decor with the wall paint and house colors in your lovely Central, CT home.
If You Have Gray Walls- Gray truly is the new, modern neutral and it does a phenomenal job of making colors stand out. Dress it with classic greens and accent it with bright yellows in your garland, ornaments and wreath accents.
If You Have White Walls-If you are working with crisp, white walls, executing your interior holiday design ideas is an easier task because you are working with a clean canvas. But if you are itching to try something new, try out kelly green, pink or aqua. For something traditional, but with a twist, consider decorating with multiple hues of rich blues accented with silvery grays.
If You Have Tan/Beige Walls- If your house colors consist primarily of beige neutrals, deck your halls with all things natural. Choose rustic, distressed whites, parchment twine, berry reds and rich evergreen boughs to give your space a homey, cozy feel worthy of curling up in.
If You Have Dark Walls- Nothing stands out against dark walls as well as white. Consider white Christmas lights, white frames and even silver wreaths. After you’ve brightened your bases, accent them with pops of bright reds, golds and greens.
If You Have Bright Walls- If you have walls of another hue, keep in mind that colors next to each other on a pairing wheel generally pair well together and, when all else fails, go with your personal style. If you would wear it or find yourself drawn to it in a store, it just may be a good choice for your holiday decor.
