Page 1 of 2 Reportedly the color Black was big in the UK and is expected to make a showing here in the USA. Somehow Black is antipodal to the idea of" light in the darkness", but some people are going for black Christmas trees . The way to decorate them is with sparkly "silver, gold, crystals". But what else is on the palette for Christmas 2006?
Metallics of bronze and copper, with the rich shadings of burgundy and purples. The Retro look you see decorating so many websites is vogue for your Christmas decorations,too: cool retro blue, lime green, goldtone, and orange pop. So the themes of rich and opulent or bright colored and whimsical are forefront with the ever beloved elegance of white with snow crystal and silver. Some are going for the sixties flavor of hot pink,candy apple red, and white in far out stylized patterns-along with the stripes and polka dots. Some play it cool with greens and blues, and some are going deep earth golds, bronzes, browns. They pretty much are matching things with their interior decor. But as always, Christmas is a time you can get away with glitz, the more the merrier. Sparkle everything and bring out velvets and sequins, let a feeling of abundance rule your abode for the short season that seems over all too quickly. And that's the scoop on what is fashion in holiday decor. ... but if you still like homespun and an old fashioned Christmas , check out my pages on decorating for a homey holiday.
