With the tips listed below, you can have the kind of d\u00e9cor you\u2019ve always wanted. Elegance equals unity. This is where many people go wrong when decorating for Christmas. They simply use too many colors \u2013 and while that might turn out to be eye catching, it\u2019s distracting and busy.<\/p>\n

You want the colors to work together and cool colors are always more elegant than warmer ones. For example, red and green decorations, while traditional Christmas colors, when placed together, don\u2019t project an air of elegance.<\/p>\n

The top two choices for elegant color are gold or white or gold and white together. You need to go with those colors throughout your home \u2013 one smooth color scheme. It may seem like white won\u2019t look very inviting or seem very much like Christmas, but wait until you have it all together and you\u2019ll be amazed.<\/p>\n

On your walkway outside, use white luminaries along the walkway and leading up to the front steps or porch. For elegance in electric lighting, never pick the bigger lights. Opt for the smaller ones inside \u2013 and yes, even outside your home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you ever noticed how some restaurants use those tiny white Christmas lights all year round? That\u2019s because those lights project an elegant dining experience. When you\u2019re placing lights on your tree, use the smaller lights and use as many strands as your tree can comfortably hold.<\/p>\n

Instead of choosing poinsettias as your flower to decorate with, choose dozens of white roses and put them in delicate glass vases throughout your house. For a table centerpiece, place white pillar candles on a mirror base. Cover the edges of the base with gold or white ribbon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Decorate the corners of the rooms with different wrapped gifts. Make sure the gifts are wrapped in gold paper and tied with white ribbon bows or do the opposite. Wrap the gifts in white paper and use gold ribbon to form the bows.<\/p>\n

Take a collection of Christmas balls in white (or gold if you\u2019re working with two colors) and place them in a large, heavy glass bowl. Place the bowl in the center of your coffee table.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Replace all of the different colored guest towels in each of your bathroom with thick white ones. Lay a small hand towel beside each sink and place a gold ribbon around the middle of it.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s time to serve the meal, serve the food on only white dishes or gold ones. If you use place cards, use white cards with gold calligraphy writing. When you\u2019re finished implementing some of these Christmas decorating ideas, your home will have that elegance you\u2019ve been striving to achieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
