The fresh fabrics and bright palette inside offer a new take on Christmas Holiday cheer.

This holiday, we’ve got a spring in our step, a perky outlook and a summery disposition thanks to decor that peels back and brightens up the typically heavy layers of holiday tradition. Green is citrine. Red is fuchsia. Velvet is linen. Bells and angels are chinoiserie and fauna. It’s amazing how the simple use of fresh colors and light fabrics can revive the holiday spirit. Why, if you didn’t know better, you’d think it was Christmas in July!

Decorating with s
ummery fabric, used on the dining chairs and as table linens, is also wrapped around hurricane vases. Hits of bright turquoise keep the table from looking too fussy, while juicy oranges make a healthy holiday favorite.



Mix & Match Holiday Colors
The key to creating this kind of look is to choose your fabrics wisely. Picking fabrics in two or three color families allows you to mix and match almost any patterns. And don’t overlook your closet – you can repurpose old dresses and shirts that might not live to see another summer!


Holiday Tablescape
A tropical-inspired holiday centerpiece filled with blush and white roses, citrine hydrangeas and eye-catching blue poinsettias provides ample cooler and texture to the tablescape.



Holiday Christmas Tree Colors
The power of an ornament is incredible: it alone can make a “dog-day” table setting feel holiday. To recreate the effect, tie a name tag to a satin ribbon and embellish with a small ornament (a favorite that guests can take home for their own Christmas trees). Make your own napkins by cutting or tearing fabric into 20-inch squares and leaving the edges unfinished (or frayed for that shabby-chic summer look).  Choose alternate colors and patterns while sticking to your overall palette to maintain a whimsical vibe.



Holiday Christmas Tree
Thin strips of fabric tied to the tips of  Christmas tree branches make a summery substitute for tinsel. For texture, fray the edges by hand-tearing your fabric: using scissors, snip a 1- to 2-inch cut at the top of the fabric, then use your hands to tear along the grain in one swift motion.


Holiday Decorating 
These mossy green silk stockings with leafy ruffled cuffs and citrine presents inside perfectly play off the raspberry-colored ornaments interspersed among them. Because both stockings and ornaments are strong holiday symbols, a festive scene can be set with pretty much any color or pattern. A boxwood garland is a holiday decorating element in Charlotte NC that also takes advantage of the season’s natural flora.



Holiday Season Color Schemes
Line a serving tray with textured fabric and ground it in the season with your favorite holiday candies, cookies and libations. With the help of pretty papers and a glue gun, a store-bought gift bag is easily transformed to suit the color scheme.
