Holiday Decor: 1 Staircase Done 3 Ways

As we all know, red and green are the most closely associated colors used for Christmas. For a classic Christmas theme, focus on using red in the decor and bring in green with the garland, wreath and tree. This helps keep the design visually pleasing and not too overwhelming.

Stockings are a holiday must-have, and these red and white striped ones add just the right touch to a classic Christmas scene. Anyone else thinking about candy canes?

Pillows are a fantastic way to add holiday flair. Keep in mind that using various textures will add to the visual appeal of your setup. For example, this cable knit pillow pairs nicely with a cotton pillow featuring a patterned design.

What’s Christmas without a wreath? Wreaths are great for filling in blank wall space. Keep in mind the other greenery like the garland you are using when choosing a wreath. If both are pine or greenery, they don’t have to match perfectly (though they can) but should be similar in look. Or look for a wreath made of other materials like wood, branches or felt.
