Did you know that trendy color combinations for Christmas tree decorations have changed over time? For example, in Victorian England, Christmas was considered blue – a cool, calming shade that is the ideal ambassador of winter. Ready to try it? Robinson advises mixing and matching options, like cobalt and turquoise, to add interest, then continuing the theme with vintage blue and white china and polished glassware on a white linen tablecloth.
Want to mix classic and glamour? According to interior designer Scott Sanders, a versatile color palette of white, gold and silver will work best in this case. “It’s elegant and timeless,” says Scott.
Retro, of course, is not a style, but many of us cherish the Christmas decorations we hung on the tree when we were little and take great pleasure in taking them out of the boxes. Robinson believes vintage decor like this will never go out of style: “I think looking back is an important part of the holidays, so just add to your collection each year a few cute toys that mean something to you and soon they will turn into an original and interesting story,” says Sophie.
Fashionable color combinations for the New Year tree
Last year, the trending color combinations for decorating the Christmas tree included a combination of pink and green, and this year it remains on the trend list. According to Sophie, in order not to fall into excessive softness, it is better to choose restrained shades – for example blush or pale pink: they will harmonize perfectly with green and light green accents.
Natural trends in color combinations for decorating a Christmas tree are carried by a completely green interior: this solution allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a real coniferous forest. According to Robinson, green works well in both modern and traditional interiors, and it’s also calming, which can be very helpful on busy days leading up to the holidays. Green also goes well with decorations made from natural materials, so you don’t need to buy new toys – you just need to collect a few pine cones and twigs, from which you can make beautiful decorations in rustic style.
This palette is a real party for all minimalists. The combination of black and white is rarely associated with the New Year, but Sophie is sure that a well-thought-out black and white “outfit” for a room can look festive and sophisticated. She advises putting a white tablecloth on the table, putting matte black dishes on it and decorating the Christmas tree with black and white toys and garlands (by the way, you can use beads instead of one of them – for example, to decorate a bouquet of pine needles).
Red and black are perhaps the most spectacular color combination for a Christmas tree. This works best if your interior already has a black background – for example furniture. However, you can achieve a gothic effect without it: just mix black and red balls on the tree.
Pink and turquoise are inherently a small step away from the classic red and green. However, such a slight shift in Itten’s circle is enough for the setting to look completely different. “I like this combination because it is unexpected and unconventional. It’s a very light and fresh solution,” explains florist Christian Zweifler.
