Clients who have elegant and traditional looks in the home usually have the standard green and red colors for Christmas. Designers like to go a little different in order to give a unique look to the space. Some of the things that can be done in order to keep the elegant look can be to use ornaments and garland with pearls, crystals, metallic gold and bronze used on flowers, fruit, birds and animals, as examples. A designer can find sage, terracotta and burgundy colors to change out the typical red and green colors for Christmas.

If a client has a more modern and contemporary space with certain colors in their home, market has many different color combinations that can be seen by designers in order to work beautifully in the space. The designer has a particular skill to understand not only the colors, but the look that the client would prefer and how it would work in the client’s particular space.

A designer goes to market at the beginning of the year and chooses all new Christmas ornaments, a new tree with lights or without, garland for staircases, and ribbon for beautiful bows to place over the staircase or on the tree. A new and elegant color scheme is always an exciting time to start fresh again for Christmas decorating. There is always something new at market and along with many choices.

A designer wants to choose something different and unique, but still luxurious and very much like Christmas. For instance, the designer working with the more traditional client wants the client to be able to appreciate a more transitional look, which adds a little bit of a modern feel to a more traditional design. For instance, the colors that might be chosen can be silver, gold, crystal, sage greens, terracotta, burgundy, bronze and cream colors. The metallic colors add a beautiful jewelry look on the tree and garland. The silver adds a more modern feel and pops out from all the gold colors. The sage green gives a softer and neutral feel. The terracotta and bronze add richness to the reds. The cream is a warm look of white which needs to also pop like snow in the winter.

Christmas is just another time in which a designer can get the homeowner excited about their home, especially during parties!

Have a Merry, Merry and beautiful Christmas!
