Truth be known, I don’t have a recurring colour scheme with respect to holiday decor. In fact, it changes each year and it drives my family crazy. As Christmas approaches, I decide on the colour scheme, pull from our “household inventory” of decorations and also plan our wrapping paper accordingly. Admittedly it’s a little over the top. I love Christmas so much, and as a designer, every year I can’t help but try a new colour combination. This year, I’ll definitely be focused on more of a neutral scheme. Wrapping paper TBD :)

We’re all about sentimental ornaments in our family. We love a traditional Christmas style full of red & gold ornaments, white lights and all the nostalgia the season brings. From the nutcracker to Minnie and Mickey Mouse, there’s an air of childhood days. Every year, we all choose a new ornament to add to our collection. Feliz Navidad!

Christmas for me is a time to embrace a mix of bright colours and a sense of nostalgia. Adorned with teeny tiny gold tinsel, large orange glass ornaments and a felted skiing polar bear of course, our tree is a nod to the days of Bing, Ella and Whoville. Every year we add a new and special ornament to our hot mess of a tree. This holiday season, call me Cindy Lou Who!

I don't typically gravitate towards the classic colours associated with Christmas (ie. red or green). Instead, I opted to go with a more unconventional and fun colour palette that works with my everyday furniture and decor. If you know me, pink was the obvious choice as a jumping off point. ;). When it comes to my tree, I try not to take myself too seriously and have fun with unique and silly ornaments - one of which being a traditional German pickle! Each year, someone hides the pickle in the tree and whoever finds the hidden ornament receives an extra gift.

I’m a sucker for a good neutral palette, and despite the colourful nature of the season, Christmas is no exception for me. Using a monochromatic scheme, I like to let the fresh green tones of the tree pull through and stand out. With a nod to Hygge, my collection embraces the comforts of home, adding texture and interesting shapes. I’m excited to include something new to our collection this year!

I’ve been collecting glass ornaments for years. I love their vintage style and Old World connotation. My tree ends up looking eclectic, but each ornament holds a memory . Many were purchased on my travels. My favourite Christmas colour scheme is green, blue, and silver.
