I wanted an elegant romantic classic Christmas this year so I did all clear glass, crystals and burgundy ribbon bows and a bit of burgundy balls.

My Christmas tree last year was the prettiest and most fun I've ever done. A real tree hung with warm white lights and vintage notions Ive collected over the years: a tiny old celluloid doll dressed in tartan, tiny old glass medicine bottles, candy canes wrapped in strips of torn fabric, 50-year-old glass ornaments with the red paint wearing off, a child's vintage classroom scissors hanging from red and white striped bakers twine, garlands I made from old buttons from my mom's sewing box and everything was red, green, white or neutral colours. The tree skirt was an old patchwork blanket that had a lot of red in it. It was like great-grandma cleared everything out of her closet and threw it at the tree. I'm not over it yet so I'm going to build on it this year.

@rebeccasplace24 күн бұрын
I love that! I really hope to do very vintage Christmases in the future. I feel like I haven't collected enough specialty ornaments to pull it off just yet. It takes so much time. But little by little I'll get there.

A colleague of mine (couple years ago) had decorated their new home mustard and teal in a lot of rooms and she was telling us how she wasnt sure the green and red xmas tree look would work, we told her to literally go for teal and gold ornaments to tie in - it looked soooo good still looked christmas but also tied in so well with her home. I think traditional colours, if you dont have anything in your usual home (so the only red is xmas decor) can look really off. Tying your ddcor in with the colours you have looks so much more sophisticated.

YES! I live in a tiny place, dominated by my blue and yellow furniture and decor, so I have gone all deep green for Christmas. No red, not even any red berries.

I love this video so much! The small red bows in the Christmas trees look so cute that I may even try them myself this year to see if I like them! As a Scandinavian, I also find it fascinating (but frustrating) when people talk about the "Nordic style Christmas" and refer to beige and white stuff or plane wood "sculptures." In reality, the Christmas decor I've seen from most people is more of a traditional/vintage Christmas that you've shown here. We have stairs in our windows, lit candles, Christmas gnomes, and red stuff everywhere during the holidays, and we are much more traditional than people think.

Hahaha, I bet that’s annoying. I think we just call it that since it stemmed from the Scandinavian design style. Kind of like “French provincial.” I’m sure most people in France no longer decorate that way but we still call it that. Americans do have a tendency to generalize though 😂 i remember someone pointing out that, contrary to what designers say, most Scandinavian people do in fact use color and curtains in their homes lol.

Browns, dark berry red, and some dark green for me 👌🏽 velvet & knit ornaments as well as chiffon and velvet bows in the same color palette. Also incorporating vintage looking brass bells to tie onto various bows I have added thru out my home. This is my first year going for a theme 🥲 it’s still going to be fairly minimal, and I can’t wait!

Usually I have my mind made up by now for decor, I’ve done brown and maroon and I was thinking I’d do red and green this year but I’m still undecided! The crystal tree seems so beautiful and I have not done that thus far! 😍

That's funny because last year was maroon and brown for me too. This year, I decided on emerald and deep red, but I switched up at the last minute. Choosing is so hard for me because there are so many beautiful options 😩

I did my dining room in an old world style with pomegranates and pomanders (can’t forget the classic dried orange garlands). My color palette is deep, antique maroon, dark brown, antique rose and a sage green. I chose sage as my beadboard is painted in SW evergreen fog. I even added a burgundy magnolia leaf to my cedar garland that blends with my antique brass chandelier and red/green transferware

My 2024 color palette is brown fur, taupe plaid and black velvet ribbon. I used metallics of copper, and black iron. The dining table is covered in a black tablecloth with and ivory and gold runner. I used black plates and wexford cut glass goblets and serve ware (thrifted). I hung thrifted chandelier crystals on the light over the dining table. I'm calling my theme Rustic Luxe. I used a lot of natural elements (greenery, pinecones) but much more glass than in years past. The black velvet is elegant yet still cozy.

Love your ideas, I am going with burgundy this year also. No bright reds. My theme is Victorian. I used for ornaments, rocking horse, nutcrackers, silhouette portraits of Victorian age, pocket watches, some playing cards ( queen of hearts ). Oh also some old paper dolls. I purchased battery clip on candles. I found an old doll at garage sale. She looks so perfect in doll stroller .
