Tips for Choosing Neutral Christmas Decor
If you’re new to holiday decorating, or you feel under pressure to create something truly spectacular, it can feel quite overwhelming. You don’t know where to start, what items to splash on and where to save.
Would the decor pieces be reused next year or do you think you will grow out of love with them? Below are some of the tips we found super helpful when selecting your Christmas decor in the neutral color scheme.
- List the number of rooms you would like to decorate first, in order of priority. In most cases, the living room will go to the top spot and that’s where you should spend most of your effort. It’s the room where you are likely spending most of the time too.
- Everything around Christmas revolves around the tree. You want to make sure that it matches well with the rest of the decor in the room. Choose the types of materials you want to use, colors scheme – yes even for a neutral decor you need to have a cohesive theme.
- If your normal home decor is quite bright and not color-coordinated, you might start by taking down the colors a bit to make the room look more cohesive. The easiest and fastest way to do that is changing the pillows and using throw blankets, changing your rug and table cloth – if you’re using one.
- If you’re not sure which direction to go for, the classic that always look good is a combination of natural material like pine and wood, with white or beige colors.
- Christmas is all about the lights – don’t forget to add plenty of candles and fairy lights to each room you’re decorating
- For the Christmas living room, there are some pieces that should get most of your attention – things like your mantle, coffee table, staircase and of course the Christmas tree.
