For the Christmas holidays, choose neutral colors: 18 suggestions for your home
If you love seasonal home decorations, you'll surely adore the Christmas holiday season, during which you can express your creative flair by bringing the magic of the season into your rooms. When choosing the most suitable decorations for your style, you can opt for the classic combination of red, green, and metallic silver and gold colors. Or you might prefer a more neutral palette of colors - less vibrant, but equally warm and welcoming.
Neutral-colored Christmas decorations adapt better than any other to their surroundings and will give your living spaces an elegant and timeless look.
White and shades of ochre and beige will blend perfectly with the Christmas evergreens and metallic accents, and not detract from the Christmas tree remaining the focal point.
