Festive Color Palettes InspirationTake a look at our curated festive color palettes to help spark your creativity this season:






Tip #1: Vintage Glam—Timeless Elegance with Rich Reds and Greens

Vintage Glam evokes a nostalgic holiday feel with its deep crimson, creamy whites, and forest greens. Perfect for those who love a classic yet refined look.

How to Style It:

  • Tree Decorations: Choose ornaments in matte and shiny finishes for dimension. Add strands of pearl garlands for an elegant touch.

  • Living Room: Incorporate velvet pillows in red and green with vintage brass accents.

  • Dining Table: Pair dark wooden chargers with cream napkins and classic red taper candles.









Tip #2: Modern—A Sleek Twist on Festive Colors

The Modern palette embraces sophistication with deep charcoal, icy blues, and warm gold accents. It’s ideal for those who love clean lines and contemporary vibes in their holiday decor.

How to Style It:

  • Tree Decorations: Opt for ornaments in metallic finishes—gold, silver, and blue—and mix in glass or acrylic pieces for a sleek look.

  • Living Room: Add faux fur throws in icy white and cushions in soft blue tones to create a cozy yet modern vibe.

  • Dining Table: Use gold flatware and navy napkins paired with white plates for a polished tablescape.






Tip #3: Winter Wonderland—Light, Bright, and Dreamy

Create a magical atmosphere with soft whites, shimmering silvers, and icy pastels like blush or lavender. Winter Wonderland is perfect for homes that want to feel fresh, airy, and filled with holiday whimsy.

How to Style It:

  • Tree Decorations: Cover your tree with snow-dusted branches, white lights, and ornaments in frosted glass or silver. Add pastel ribbons for a dreamy touch.

  • Living Room: Incorporate light blue or blush throws and silver candle holders to brighten your space.

  • Dining Table: Use white tablecloths, mirrored chargers, and clear glassware to reflect light beautifully across the table.





Bonus Tip: Bring the Color to Your Wrapping Paper

Don’t forget to extend your chosen color palette to your gift wrapping! Use papers, ribbons, and tags in complementary colors to tie the theme together. Stack your wrapped presents under the tree or on shelves for added decor.
