Vibrant green is nice. But a muted tone is more on-trend this month. Collect your Christmas money in a clover clutch with ecru ribbon detailing. A wool scarf is knit from light emerald yarn. Vintage pendants with mint milk glass shades hang high above a drawing room. Need a few extra chairs around the table: pull some that are upholstered in Hancock green.
Beige doesn’t have to be blah-humbug. It can be a perfect neutral for the season. Bundle up before heading out in a fur-trimmed manteau. Poinsettias would look right at home peeking out from the top of a tan-glazed vase. A buff linen panel billows in the winter wind. Sport a pair of warm tights with camel leather shoes.
You don’t need a good reason for red because it is the color of the season. Reach for a ruby cable knit sweater on blustery days. Reading holiday cards is made easier with a pair of scarlet spectacles. While awaiting your turn to talk to Santa, sit in a row of round-backed chairs. A red acrylic cubby is the perfect place to tuck gift-wrapping supplies.
With the weather outside being so frightful, why not stay inside the mall where the temperatures are delightful? While you are there, pick up a few items to perk up your personal style and home décor. This December keep a lookout for lovely accents in soft green, basic beige, and holly red. Spread cheer by spreading bold hues throughout your life this holiday month!
