Christmas Trends 2010



Time to get ready for Christmas!  The centre piece of any Christmas holiday is the tree, whether it is a fresh fragrant spruce or a space-saving synthetic.  Tinsel garland, long the standby of any tree, is losing favour as manufacturers create unique ornaments that quickly become collector's heirlooms. Exciting drama is created with a black Christmas tree - perfect for setting off eye-catching ornaments, like the silver ornaments that are popular this season.






1. Traditional Style

Take a page out of Christmas past by combining collectibles with  natural materials like wood, and traditional fabrics. Traditional Holiday colours are red, green, white and gold. A traditional Christmas can be a great social opportunity to create cranberry and popcorn garlands, gingerbread houses or simply get the family together to share in the spirit.






2.  Mixes of material and Colour

Last year, we saw a lot of jewel tones including turquoise and purple. This season, darker colours such as earthy browns and rich blues are contrasted with slivers of frost and whites. Start with a focal point and set it off with mixes of colour.  The important thing here is to repeat the colours or theme in the room and keep it simple and fun!




3. Elegant Sparkle
Go for full-on glamour with metallic bronzes, golds and silvers. To create added excitement, experiment with contrasting natural textures and materials such as exotic feathers and wooden beads. Blasts of colour such vibrant apple green, citron and mauve lighten up the sparkle and add to an elegant decor.
