4 NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLOR PALETTES TO TRY


White and Chocolate Brown

Blondie in the City


Are you tired of the loud and vibrant colors? Try out chocolate brown and white. Let the Christmas tree be all white this year. Add in those brown cones lying in the backyard or make small brown ornaments to hang on the tree. It will look lovely and give a warm feeling in winters.

Teal and Hot Pink

Let’s pump it up a little. Christmas is all about colors and happiness. So, why not include bold colors to make your house stand out? You don’t need to go out of your way and spend a lot, just shuffling things around will let you utilize this color pallet. Go for a hot pink tree and add in golden ornaments. You can add in vibrant, colorful pillows on the sofas to pull off this combination.

Silver and Gold

A Pumpkin and a Princess


This is one of my favorite color schemes. It’s neutral and simple, yet stunning. Think about adding texture, sparkle and shine. I love the bead garland draped on here too.

Pink, Red and Cream

HGTV


Ignite the fire of love and romance by going with pink, red and creams. Go with fresh flowers to make a show-stopping point. I mean, how gorgeous is this? I LOVE the rose petals scattered on the floor!

Seriously thinking of trying this one year.

It’s always so fun to get creative with the Christmas tree. TIP: coordinate your wrapping paper with your tree decorations for a designer look.
