Christmas is a magical time to deck out your home with twinkling lights, evergreen garlands and whimsical decorations. Traditionally, Christmas decor features flashing red and silver tinsel, but there are plenty of ways to dress up for the holidays while keeping it stylishly neutral.
Embracing neutral Christmas decor allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature, while still adding festive touches that are sure to make a statement. Natural greenery combines with earth tones, soft whites and subtle golds to create a look that’s as serene as a winter snowfall.
Use natural elements like pinecones, cypress branches and cinnamon sticks to create a cozy and textured Christmas centrepiece. Add a touch of elegance to the display with brushed gold cutlery and charger plates.
Keep your fireplace mantle minimal and neutral with a simple forest green garland. Drape it along the fireplace, and layer it with glass ornaments and a collection of nutcrackers to add a pop of seasonal colour.
A rustic wooden table runner and tablecloth provide a canvas for neutral holiday decor, allowing you to highlight the beauty of wood and natural fibres. Layer a few bowls of twigs and branches, and finish the table with a monochrome book stack that doubles as an elegant piece of seasonal art.
Don’t be afraid to add accents of red, burgundy and maroon to your neutral Christmas palette. Whether in the form of small decorative ornaments or a rustic jar filled with candy, these pops of color add just enough festive flavour to the room without overpowering your delicately neutral theme.
