4 Holiday Color Trends

Written by

 

Deck the Halls with these 4 Holiday Color Trends!

 

1. ALL-ORGANIC. Try using natural tones and materials. Light greens really pop on a white palette, while darker hues feel seriously cozy against earthy browns.

 

2. METALLIC TONES. These glamorous hues bring a classy (and classic) look to any tree, wreath or accent. Experiment with trendy combos like pink & gold or cobalt & silver.

 

3. BLACK & WHITE. This simple but impactful palette can range from low-key and sophisticated to bold and dramatic. Add some whimsy with penguins and plaid!

 

4. GREEN & RED. You really can’t go wrong with this classical seasonal color scheme. Make it yours with Wannemaker’s selection of more than 10,000 ornaments!
