I'm of the opinion that traditional always looks great, and anything non-traditional will look good in the right setting. Are you after traditional red-green and gold/silver, or a new colour pallet that will warm up your room but not be as old fashioned? Are we matching to a blush pink or a very deep pink? Dark grey or light?
If you can send pictures of a room with a similar colour pallet that would help us too!
I completely agree with this. A traditional tree will look beautiful no matter where you put it. There’s a post on the front page of this topic where someone has put their tree up and it really is incredibly pretty. Nobody is going to be looking at your walls with a tree like that.
If you definitely want co-ordinated though, I’d go for either lots of golds, or silvers, whites and glass. Obviously, gold is everywhere, as is silver, but Asda are currently doing packs of white baubles which are really pretty and if glass is out of your price range, B&M or Home Bargains (whichever one has the blue and orange logo) do clear plastic baubles filled with tiny coloured seed beads. I’ve got glass baubles as I engrave them and, side by side, you can’t really tell the difference. Plus the top comes off the baubles really easily if you wanted to have them empty or change the colour. Don’t bin the beads if you empty them; crafters will take them off your hands.
Plus, with the plastic baubles, if you want a different colour next year, you can pour some watered down pva glue in there, whatever colour glitter you fancy, wait for it to dry, then you have glitter baubles that don’t shed glitter everywhere, with colours you’d never find in the shops.
