4 Holiday Color Trends
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!
Find décor for these color trends and more at Chicagoland’s Holiday Headquarters!
