So, what is your Christmas colour scheme this year?

[BlameItOnTheCuervo]

I think Im going to stick with red, white and green.

very rustic though.

not sure yet. last year was blue and silver, might do red and white this year, but need to paint my living room first.

Different themes in different areas.
I've got white/clear/pearl/silver decorations
Gold/Bronze
Traditional (not glass)
Mixed colour glass baubles for the tree, added to (and broken ) every year.

We move the colour scheme round every year .
But no pink, lime, turquoise 'modern fangled' shades.
And in my house, Christmas trees are green. Only green.

Mine is explosion of colours

Christmas colour scheme?

What?

I was thinking of letting the children throw random shiny tut at the tree. Is that wrong?

You'd probably be horrified at my tree - anything and everything goes (except tinsle - I do have some standards). A mixture of colour and allsorts of baubles collected from holidays over the years. I absolutely love it.

I've scaled down the other decorations as the dc have gotten older.

Dh wants red and gold, but my living room is green and brown so I want just gold. The next catalogue has some nice gold decs. Need to have a look around for some more.

Our tree will be classic multicolored and our table will be set out with red and gold

Blimey, people have Christmas colour schemes?

You sank - that's my approach to!

And those who have a different scheme each year do you buy new every year? What do you do with the old stuff?

Same as every year, white tree with black and silver decs to match our front room!

Really want to change front room colours soon as would love a traditional red, green and gold Christmas

Snap headfairy! Saw this on active convos. Christmas colour schemes??

I have been remiss!

Umm a bit of everything

I just pull out last years decorations and put them up again. But, but, but... as a little sewing practice on my new machine I have made a garland of denim stars from ds's old battered jeans, and put red buttons and little bells on them and was momentarily thinking they looked a bit Christmassy and should I cut up the rest of his jeans and make matching stars for the Christmas trees :o

Red and gold for the past 10 years. I have 2 rooms to decorate this year though, so I'm looking at all of your ideas so I can borrow one

Wow. Christmas colour schemes? I have lived a sheltered life.

I love messy christmas trees, ds and I will be making paper chains, we also make saltdiough decorations.

I love the idea of colour schemes but in reality we have a tree of tat lovingly collected over the years. But we like to think it is so bad it is good. And I'm a freak who LOVES tinsel...

Last year we moved house and dh left all my beautiful decorations at the old house, including the angel that was my great nans. I was not pleased.

I'm so sorry, Cuervo.

Colour schemes for Christmas- extraordinary!

My children decide as they make all the decorations and they decorate the tree! we also have hand me downs from my Nan & my Mum. Home made things and lots of memories on a real tree is what Christmas is all about in our house.......oh and fairy lights, loads of them
Can't wait, on count down already.......love it x

We have red white and green on the tree in the front room and the decorations match.

In the dining room with have silver and teal on tree and all decorations and table settings match.

Would quite like a change this year but don't have the time to redecorate.

I like Traditional. We make most of our decorations so holly from the garden, dried oranges and cinnamon sticks, fircones, paperchains etc. We also do saltdough decorations and ginger cookies. I've been collecting traditional Christmas decorations, particularly Victorian for a couple of years now. I like my house to look like a scene out of Shirley Hughes' Lucy and Tom's Christmas.

That's gorgeous, ShowOfHands! I love Shirley Hughes illustrations.
