Create a unique festive look using your
unique style!
It is simple! Create bands by layering your favorite colors rather then using the traditional method of mixing colors together.
Layering Colors Creates a Prismatic Christmas Display.
Still haven’t narrowed down your color choices?
Why not use
a layered color theme! Aside from providing a beachy, vibrant, festive Caribbean ambiance, you can use all your favorite colors, making it uniquely your style.
This
scheme allows you to combine the different ornaments you’ve collected from
Christmas seasons past or pull in the colors from your room decor.
There is no right way to choose colors. Be creative, choose your favorite colors or bring the hues into your room decor to your tree. If you are having a hard time deciding use the color wheel (see below).
Fun ~ Festive ~ Cheerful ~ Unique
Creative ~ Artistic
An array of colors with variegated sizes brings an extra touch of unique beauty.

This tree is gorgeous with the layers in variegated shades. Starting at the bottom with the the blue ~ green band, followed by the
dark & light pink then the yellow and gold to top off the tree.
Creating a tree skirt from various colors of ribbons puts the finishing touch on this tree.
Sometimes it is those little details that brings it all together.
Who else wraps their gifts in paper that coordinates with your theme?
It is easy and cost effective to purchase extra ornaments to distribute the colors & theme throughout the room. Lay them on table tops, mantels or a display in a beautiful bowl . The ornaments will be beautiful alone or if you like festive and shiny take it to the next level with ribbon, or greenery and/or battery operated lights to make a magical display.
This fun combination of colors was pulled from the painting. Did your eye follow out to the yellow & colored pillows on the patio that match this gorgeous yellow room with a view? Doing this elongates the room, creating a sense that the room is larger then it actually is.
The owners style is clearly shown in their unique colors they chose & the airy display.
This glorious color scheme is much like the table display above.
Full of festivity and holiday spirit!
These lighted trees would be gorgeous added to a mantel or table display.
Adding different heights and textures in your display
adds elements of character. Setting them on mirrors or placing mirrors behind them will create a reflection of light.
Coastal homes often use an interior design that creates the
feel of an airy ocean breeze.
This beach homes Christmas decor and trees are simple and understated. However, the room comes to life in a joyful, whimsical/beachy way. The grouping of the colorful trees and the colorful light weight fabric pulls it together from the anchored base to the top.
Creating Family Fun
Let each family member choose their color of ornaments. They can then hang their ornaments, wrap their packages in that color of paper and tie it with a bow that coincides with the recipients chosen color.
Fun, Creative & Festive!
No name tags needed.
Start with your favorite color or room colors. If you need some inspiration, you can use the color wheels and prism to help kick start your creativity.
