This holiday season, it's time to ditch the traditional reds and greens and embrace something a little bolder, a little more daring, and definitely a lot more fun. Think jewel tones—hot pink, cobalt blue, and kelly green—mixed with a touch of luxe champagne accents. If you're looking to shake up your holiday décor, this vibrant and modern color palette is the perfect way to add personality and pizzazz to your space. Here's how I’ve transformed my home into a colorful Christmas wonderland that’s anything but ordinary.
A Jewel-Tone Christmas Tree Like No Other
First up—let's talk about the tree. Out with the usual red and gold, and in with some serious wow factor! For this design, I went all in with jewel tones that pack a punch. Hot pink, cobalt blue, and kelly green have been the stars of the show, creating an unexpected yet totally stylish combination. These bold hues bring a modern energy to the tree while still feeling distinctly festive.
What’s a Christmas tree without a little sparkle and flair? I added fabulous oversized bows in pink, blue, gold and this fun green with jewels to really make the tree pop. These statement-making bows serve as the perfect counterpoint to the bold jewel tones, adding that extra bit of sophistication while still feeling playful and festive. The combination of lush colors and shimmering accents is truly a visual feast—one that keeps you staring at the tree long after the presents are unwrapped.
The Hottest Trend: Norfolk Greenery on the Mantle
When it comes to the mantle, this year, I’m all about embracing the latest trend: Norfolk greenery. This lush, full-bodied greenery is making waves for 2024, and it’s easy to see why. Norfolk’s rich, deep green needles create a stunning backdrop for any style of Christmas décor, and it pairs so beautifully with the jewel tones of my tree. For a more dramatic effect, I’ve combined it with dripping cedar and dripping Norfolk foliage. These new textures add an element of movement and depth that I just love. The long, elegant strands of dripping greenery cascade off the mantle, creating a dynamic, organic look that feels both festive and fresh. The drapey bows in the hot pink velvet are bringing the drama and the fun!
To complete the look, I added a trio of Norfolk stems to a chic vase, creating a striking centerpiece that ties the entire room together. The rich green Norfolk stems have such an earthy quality, and the addition of a hot pink velvet bow at the base elevates the arrangement, adding a bold pop of color that perfectly complements the tree and mantle. This simple yet stylish touch brings a sense of balance to the space, making sure that every corner feels infused with those fabulous jewel tones and festive charm.
Why Go Bold?
For me, Christmas décor should be a celebration of color and fun. This jewel-toned theme brings in the vibrancy and joy that the season deserves, while still feeling chic and modern. The hot pink, cobalt blue, and kelly green create a sense of excitement and whimsy that makes the holidays feel more magical, while the champagne accents add the perfect touch of elegance. The Norfolk greenery and dripping cedar pair perfectly with the whole design, bringing an organic, natural element to this bold and festive look.
So if you're ready to embrace something new this Christmas, ditch the red and green of years past and opt for something truly unique. With jewel tones, fabulous bows, and the most natural looking greenery, you can create a holiday space that’s as stylish as it is merry. Trust me, this bold and colorful décor is sure to be the talk of your holiday gatherings!
