Top 5: Colorful Christmas Decor Ideas

Brighten up your Christmas decor with cheerful hues that are as pretty as they are merry. Here are 5 ways to incorporate color into your home for the holidays.

While less traditional than the go-to evergreen, a white tree is a fun way to highlight candy-colored ornaments. Underneath, gifts wrapped in white paper blend in with the scheme, and a mix of pastel and jewel-toned ribbons play up the hues of the bright decorations.

Get creative with any extra ornaments by placing them somewhere unexpected. Swap out decanter tops for a few carefully selected balls to add festive sparkle to your bar cart, just in time for your holiday party.
