Keep Your Palette Simple
A base winter white color scheme and silver and gold accessories translates to a wonderful holiday design scheme.

Think of white as your backdrop for your holiday rooms, but mix in silvers and golds for that dash of sophistication. Trays and votives are inexpensive ways to add luxury to your design scheme.
Go for the Gold

White Drapes Set the Tone
Go with a bright white curtain for your holiday living room.
Layer White on White
Shades of white and ivory add elegance to your living room. Don't fret about keeping your palette pure white: you can mix ivory and white tones and incorporate older pieces with newer ones in this way.
Winter White and Friends
While winter white is a gorgeous alternative to the usual holiday palette, it also works well with existing pieces. Don't shy away from blending in already-owned items in soft, pastel shades.

Do a Theme Tree
What's prettier than a tree decked out in a cohesive color scheme, especially when that color scheme is a frosty, wintry white.
