colour your christmas
Red, white, green, gold and silver... the typical colours of Christmas. Maybe this year it's time for a change?
Creating a new, not-so-traditonal, Christmas colour theme need not be expensive. A few new decorations mixed with ribbons, wrapping accessories, fabrics, candles and finds from the garden can be enough. For some inspiration, check out the ideas below.
My favourite is a natural palette - get hands-on with wood, brown paper, pine cones, nuts, cinnamon sticks, twine, pine, rattan, linen and burlap.
I have always been a fan of black and white for any interior. It can be just as stylish at Christmas. Striking stripes, gingham and spots - mix them up and make a statement.
Perhaps yellow is apt for a sunny summer kiwi Christmas. Anyone for lemonade?
Tickle the senses with an orange display - dried oranges, cloves and pine create a beautiful aroma and look great too.
Navy blue is trending in fashion and interiors so why not Christmas decor too?
For those of you with little girls - a pink theme will delight. Or, even if you don't have little girls...
There are no rules so have fun with colour this year.
