Decorating for the holidays is a joyful adventure and adding colour to your Christmas celebration can instantly create a festive and vibrant atmosphere. While Christmas is often associated with traditional reds and greens, incorporating a variety of colours and textures into your decorations can bring warmth, cheer and personality to your home. On today’s blog, we’re sharing some creative ways to add colour to your Christmas.
Greenery
Your holiday greenery doesn’t have to be all green! Add a splash of colour by incorporating vibrant berries, fruits and colourful leaves into your wreaths and mantelpieces. These touches of colour create depth and character, elevating your festive décor to something truly special.
Paper Goods
Brightly coloured paper or recycled wallpaper is a simple way to introduce joyful pops of colour. Use it to wrap presents, create handmade decorations, or even craft festive garlands. We love using recycled wallpaper to make links that add texture and charm to any space. And don’t forget—wrapping gifts in fun patterned paper adds a delightful touch to the unwrapping experience!
Ornaments and Baubles
Ornaments are the heart of your tree, and they’re the perfect way to showcase personality and memories. Use colourful baubles to make your tree shine brightly on cold winter nights. Mix and match textures like hand-painted wood, glass, ceramic and even papier-mâché ornaments for a unique and festive touch.
Handcrafted Stockings
The tradition of Christmas stockings is steeped in history. Legend has it that a wealthy nobleman lost his fortune and moved his family to a humble cottage. Too proud to accept charity, it’s said that Saint Nicholas secretly dropped bags of gold into the girls’ stockings, starting the beloved custom. Today, stockings are a celebration of craft and creativity. We love to add vibrant appliqué designs or use bright, patterned fabrics to create one-of-a-kind stockings that bring a pop of colour to your home.
Table Setting
Infuse your Christmas table with colour by using a festive tablecloth, vibrant party crackers and seasonal china. These simple additions create a welcoming and lively atmosphere for holiday dinners and gatherings.
We hope these ideas have inspired you to add more colour to your Christmas! Whether it’s through greenery, gifts, or your table setting, embracing colour can transform your space into a cheerful holiday haven. Happy decorating!
