![]() ![]() I moved onto this theme after the traditional one and before my most-recent switch to Scandi, and I can attest to how glorious it can look across the home. Now this colour palette might remind you of the movie Frozen (is the song stuck in your head now?) but can I just say I was rocking it well before the film came out. Lots of table-friendly finds in this one, but of course you can go well beyond that and onto mantles and sideboards too. In fact, I’ve styled a lovely Scandi Christmas theme with red in it here if you want to take a look. Red would be a good addition to this scheme. I guess I can see where they’re coming from, but can I add that you can pop colour into this look to channel the Scandi vibe, but make it a tad brighter? A lot of people find that the neutrals don’t feel festive enough. I know this Scandi theme isn’t for everyone. I love a tree with memories, don’t you? via inspired by charm Christmas Decorating Tip for Neutral Palettes I like the inclusion of timber because it’s a traditional element you can add in over time.įor example, we holidayed in Europe in 2019 and brought back some darling little timber ornaments from a shop in Prague.

Just make sure you leave some vacant space on the top of the buffet to serve food from if you intend to use it in this way.Īh, my fave Christmas decorating theme of all is here: the Scandi theme. It’s always good to have one large moment in the middle of the buffet (the green LED trees above are a nice idea), and then stage one smaller moment on each side of the middle arrangement. But the beauty of the sideboard is that you can display larger, taller decorative moments that are just too intrusive on a dining table top. via metricon Christmas Decorating Tip for SideboardsĪ buffet or sideboard that’s near your dining table should really display a consistent theme. A little black or grey can work its way into the mix if you need, but this look shines when it keeps itself classic. Keep the palette red, green and white and that’s really all there is to it. It brings back loads of good memories for me. It’s also the palette I grew up with, and it really does scream ‘Christmas’. My festive look has evolved over time, but I have to admit that I always find something quite emotive and reminiscent about the classic red-green-white colour palette. The Christmas decorating theme I had in my home when I first moved out of Mum and Dad’s place all those years ago was a traditional one. Scattering Christmas crackers and baubles down the centre of your table is another really effective way to make it feel festive. You could then pop a tall battery-operated LED Christmas tree in the middle of the wreath (there’s a gorgeous one above) to create a focal point in the centre of the table. via randi garrett designs Christmas Decorating Tip for Dining TablesĪ lot of stuff you’d traditionally put on a tree or somewhere else in the home can work wonders on a dining table.įor example, all of the wreaths in this festive roundup could be taken off the front door and popped in the middle of your dining table instead (or you could buy two and keep one on the door!). But try not to bring in silver or copper or nickel. You can mix in white, cream, oak, and even soft grey. ![]() It really is a celebration of gold/brass. ![]() The key to getting this look right is to not mix too many metallics together.
