Decorating for Christmas is the seasonal way to add some color in your home, even if only for a few weeks. Green often works as our neutral backdrop, in trees and garlands, which blends naturally with the rest of the interior. This gives us the freedom to explore unique color combinations, not necessarily following the same color scheme that’s already in the space.
In my post Trend Tuesday: Bring Bright Hues into Fall with a Bang, I pointed out 5 tips on how to decorate your home with a full palette of bright colors. Continuing to track this trend through fall and into winter it’s apparent that these punchy, optimistic, happy hues are here to stay, even for the Holiday. (This makes me smile). So I thought this was the perfect time for me to break out tip number 6 (bet you didn’t even see another tip coming)…Use Bold Color to Brighten Up your Christmas Decor. The colors shown below (same inspiration from the other bright post) offer a nice range of both warm and cool which can be mixed and matched or used all together for a fun twist on traditional tree trimmings.
Each year I work closely with some of the most talented seasonal decor designers in the world. Two of the most exciting benefits that stem from these relationships are seeing all the colors and products come together in display at market and then sharing these fresh new styles with all of you.

hello, love your site. absolutely in love with tj’s colors. where can i buy the paint colors? tried going to the link provided but unable to do so. Anyway, can you recommend a earthy gold for my LR DR and foyer? they all flow into each other. I have used various samples and can’t seem to like any.. I decorate with rust, olive, and some golds. Thanks in advance..

After listening to the buzz about possible pink trends for Christmas, I’ve decided to give it a try. I usually use my pink and platinum china for Valentine’s day but I’m going to be a trend tryer and set the Christmas table with pink this year. It will go against my grain to use the pink table cloth instead of the red one but I’ll be brave and give it a whirl. Here is the link on Twitpic where you can see the pink scheme unfolding: http://twitpic.com/rb5le
Thank you for the colorful post!
