Holiday Decorating Ideas

There are a number of ways you can determine or choose a color scheme for your holiday decor. They include:

Your Home's Color Scheme -- focus on the colors you have in your home year 'round and select complimentary colors that bring out the seasonal feeling.

Colors from a Decorating Motif -- do you love the luscious and luminous beaded fruits? Then you might want to bring the jewel tones into all of your Christmas decorating.

Do you love rustic, earthy decorations? Then you might want to stick with greens, browns, and golds.

A Piece of Fabric. If you have seen a beautiful fabric that would be spectacular on the center of your dining room table, draw your colors from the fabric design. Bring the hues into all the rooms for a unified look.

Holiday Gift Wrap -- you can see lots of color schemes used in Christmas gift wrapping paper. See which ones you like and think about the style, the motifs represented, and the colors. Choose a paper that would look good in your home and use ribbons throughout to unify the look.

Feng Shui - Holiday Scents & Benefits

Use essential oils in diffusers to keep the air fresh and the energy levels balanced. Choose pine, eucalyptus, ylang-ylang, neroli, or other essential oils of your choice to introduce the feng shui energy of warmth, purification and nourishment into your environment as well as bring the scents of the season into your home.
