Traditional Christmas Color Schemes

Let’s start with the safest Christmas color scheme of them all… the Traditional palette.

Including hints of red with your greenery with white and gold accents is a perfect way to get those nostalgic feels from way back when.

I especially love the idea of red plaid wrapping paper to really bring the color scheme all the way through to the presents.

Even though I’m not a fan of red in my every day decor, there is something lively and festive about adding red into your Christmas color schemes.

For a traditional color scheme, don’t feel like you have to go entirely on the red side, you can also focus more on the green with hints of red like the living room above.

And can I just say, #goals… do people still say that?… to have a fully decorated Christmas bedroom would signal I’ve finally arrived lol.

I love all the subtle accents in this traditional-inspired bedroom decor above. From the mantel to the various layers of bedding… I’m in love!

Whatever ratio of red to green, the traditional Christmas color scheme is the most nostalgic option of the bunch.

But, what if you don’t want traditional…

Cozy Plaid Christmas Color Schemes

Since I don’t like to change too many elements of my normal decor (i.e. the curtains, rugs, etc.), I’m looking for a Christmas color scheme that goes with navy.

This green and blue cozy plaid color scheme is right up my alley.

You can switch up the shades of green and blue, but I think it’s the perfect pairing for an super cozy Christmas color scheme.

From everything I was researching, it looks like adding in the plaid in either green and blue for the ribbon on your Christmas tree and/or neutral plaid in pillows and throw blankets is the way to get the cohesive look. Plus bringing in the plaid for your Christmas wrapping paper and bows!

      Gosh you’re organised. I haven’t even started thinking about Christmas yet. These are all so wonderful. I’ve been thinking about a coastal Christmas – kind of goes along with our summer Christmas but every year I get out the decorations and I love the red and gold so always go back to the traditional. You never know, maybe this year will be the one I actually make the change.
