Colourful 'Greenery' Deco Ideas to Inspire at Christmas
Decorating at Christmas
There's something special about decorating the house at Christmas. I just love the excited atmosphere, tinged with both anticipation and nostalgia. Perhaps it's just me, but I always get a warm, tingly feeling when unwrapping the baubles from their tissue paper year on year. Childhood memories flood in when hanging up the familiar Christmas tree decorations on the scented pine branches, and a bit of Michael Buble 'I'll be Home For Christmas' always seems to floating about the air with its bubbly vibes.I've been decorating our living room for Christmas on the theme of green thanks to Pantone's colour team announcing "Greenery" as their Colour of 2017. Being a lover of bold design for interiors, I was thrilled to hear of this fresh, bright colour being thrown onto the scene to start the New Year ahead.
I was recently asked by Amara what my thoughts were on interior design trends for 2017 for their online magazine The LuxPad. At the top of my list was a prediction of a move to fresh, bold colours. With 2016 being a year for inky greys and charcoals, I firmly believe 2017 will see a move into designing your home in upbeat colours as I think people are becoming more colour conscious and increasingly aware of how this can affect the mood of the house. With greenery shooting into top place for 2017, I think we are seeing the start of just that!And so I've taken this colourful news as a perfect opportunity to decorate on the theme of greenery for Christmas, ensuring plenty of lavish hues and botanical touches.Here's a few inspiration Christmas living room interior deco pictures based on greenery colour themes...
