Blue in almost every shade imaginable is making an appearance in this year\u2019s holiday decorating palettes. Whether it is a pale calm blue like Pantone\u2019s 2016 Color of the Year Serenity with champagne accents or royal blue or turquoise balancing out a metallic theme, we can expect to see all shades making a strong showing this holiday season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skinny Trees<\/span><\/h2>\n

Holiday decorators are embracing a more natural look using slim trees rather than traditional robust full evergreen in 2015. Thinner taller trees also play to a more retro theme of holidays past and give the dramatic height to your room without taking a large piece of valuable entertaining real estate that their chubby counterparts have occupied in past years.<\/span><\/p>\n

While metallic accents have been very popular for many years in holiday d\u00e9cor this year, they are taking centre stage and being used as a main colour to create a hot, neutral palette. Copper, silver, gold and champagne all bring warmth to holiday interiors. To complement a metallic focus accent colours in warm burgundy\u2019s or emerald greens can add interest and contrast to your metallic wonderland.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Return to Tradition<\/h2>\n

In recent year\u2019s traditional holiday colours such as reds, whites and greens have been on vacation from each other often appearing individually in\u00a0holiday decorating but rarely appearing together.\u00a0\u00a0 This year they rejoin to bring memories of holidays past. White and red mixed create a peppermint twist type feeling with the addition of small pops of green in modern applications to bring perfect balance to traditional and modern holiday design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frosted ornaments and accents were popular in 2014 and again have made a strong showing in 2015. Frosty glass or acrylics can be used alone for an elegant monotone palette or can be mixed with soft pale colours such as the second Pantone 2016 Colour of the Year Rose Quartz, lavender, or spearmint as a\u00a0 beautiful accent.<\/p>\n

Glitz & Glitter<\/span><\/h2>\n

This year glitz and glitter are found in both modern and traditional holiday d\u00e9cor plans with both designers and the DIY crowd. Micro glitter is as fine as beach sand is the newest trend and gives a smooth sparkly finish that reflects light creating a sparkling room. I will add a small word of advice; much like fine beach sand micro glitter will stick to everything even without glue and can be a trying clean-up. Prepare your surfaces wisely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black and white d\u00e9cor in design creates clean lines and contrast so why not expand it to your holiday decorating. While far from traditional this popular trend for 2015 is creating head turning holiday d\u00e9cor that feels clean and modern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decorations in natural woods and wood finishes accented with textured fabrics pay tribute to Scandinavian holiday tradition are very popular with holiday decorators. This Scandi d\u00e9cor works well with winter white backgrounds and monotone room d\u00e9cor to create a balance of warm and cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

With chalkboard art and accents still making a big splash in regular home decorating, it is not surprising that we see holiday d\u00e9cor embrace the same retro feelings with ornaments and accents reminiscent of years gone past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grey is not only the hottest colour of the moment for home d\u00e9cor it is also the hottest holiday d\u00e9cor trend of 2015. While some may be hesitant to use such a strong neutral as their holiday decorating focus when rich jewel tone or metallic accents are added to the mix the results are a rich feeling holiday d\u00e9cor that no one will be feeling gloomy about.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
