in not wanting to serve food, decorate my house or dress my kids in the John Lewis Christmas colour scheme?

[somewillreactwithsultanas]

Is it just me?? I can't stand that colour scheme and it's on everything in the shop! Navy, raspberry and vile bile...

Firstly I don't like it (OK, subjective - others may!)

Secondly, I can't for the life of me imagine wanting to make really any of my Christmas tree, crockery, tables, curtains, soft toys, Christmas cards, children's jumpers etc. etc. match the current store decorations and carrier bags. (OK, maybe if I did like it, I would a bit, but even then I'd feel a bit embarrassed, or I'd want paying for contributing to raising their brand profile!)

I spent quite a while in a John Lewis today and it would have been nice to find more - some! - things that weren't in that colour scheme...

Say again my love?!

It's this:

starry night theme - just seems to be on everything in the shop! Although it's not that so much as the fact that those are the colours they've decorated the shop in too (hanging down from the ceiling etc.), so it makes it seem like a sort of corporate colour scheme for Christmas - not exactly what I want from decs personally, to have people look at them and think they're in a branch of John Lewis!

If it was just on things we could buy and they had a different colour scheme for the shop itself, it might seem a bit less corporate...

I probably am being unreasonably affected by the vile bile colour...

Shop somewhere else, how about the white company?

What a foul colour scheme. Who thought that up? Noone with any colour sense. How bizarre.

some of it is quite nice, but you wouldnt have a room full of it, it's too bold.

John Lewis just isn't what it used to be - shame really.

What horrid colours enough to make you want to ............yuk

LOL! My tree is featuring such colours (well, deep pink, purple, turqoise, white and gold and some green)

It looks good, I think; child friendly (bright), modern and well, funky.

but then I like funky ... not everyone does.

I wouldn't go as far as to dress like it and have the table like it though!

is that why you are called lewisfan? LOL

only joking btw

sorry - am not following? (am a tad dim - and blonde!)

No honestly - my tree is the only thing in those colours, and a baubel decoration I made (a bauble mobile) - looks great.

The rest is plain blue, a nativity scene and some lights round the chimney.

I know loads of people hate my decor - but I love it, and I live alone so I ain't gotta please no-one but me lol lol

I'll see if I can get a photo...

Ok, tree is on display
