Contemporary Christmas Styling for Your Home

If you’re over the usual Christmas decorations and want to try a new approach this year – you’re in luck!  I’ve compiled an expert list of how you can modernise your Christmas styling without it looking like Santa exploded in your living room… read on!
  
1. Green And Red?  No Thanks!
 We’re living in New Zealand – which means Christmas is full of sun, beach and drinks by the pool.  So the idea
of Santa riding on his reindeers through snow doesn’t really apply for us Kiwis.
 
To match this unique Kiwi Christmas, you need an appropriate colour scheme.  Yellow and teal or green and blue are wonderful schemes for a fresh and summery Christmas theme.

​Neutrals like soft pink, white and beige give a lovely feminine aesthetic.  Decorate your Christmas tree with ornaments in your chosen colours and then style the rest of your home from there.

2. Less is More
Christmas can often feel cluttered and OTT.  So this year, why not take a more minimalist approach to achieve a more refined, sleek look.  In particular, a Scandinavian style Christmas tree is an easy incorporation into your home, exuding sophistication whilst being a lot easier to pack up than the conventional tree!
 
Don’t clutter up the room, focus on certain points of interest instead of every surface.
 
3. Add Metallics for Glamour
Incorporating metallics will instantly add glamour and style to your space.  Metallics are very on trend and you can find lovely decorations in a range of finishes such as rose gold, gold, chrome and brass in most of the homeware stores.
 
4. Stay Classic
Choose decorations that will easily slot into your existing décor without looking overwhelming.  Avoid large flashing
Santas or any kind of mechanical, toy-like figurines.
 
​Christmas doesn’t have to mean red and green. Think about how to style your home in a more understated way and don’t be afraid to ditch tradition. Remember, subtlety is the key.
