1 Icy blue

If traditional red and green isn’t your cup of eggnog, try an icy blue for a modern look. Mix different shades varying from robin’s egg to turquoise to give your space a cool yule vibe.

2 Canadiana Christmas

Turn your home into a cozy Christmas haven with a little Canadiana inspiration. Introduce warm woods and rich reds, decorated with natural materials that will transform your home into a cozy country cabin. 15holidayideas-seasonalscandi.jpg

3 Seasonal Scandi

If you sway towards a minimalist holiday approach to decorating, take a page from Scandinavian design this holiday season. A simple black and white palette keeps things cool, while pops of lime green and red give the space a festive feel. 15holidayideas-winterwhites.jpg

4 Dressed in white

Create a winter wonderland in your home by dressing it all in winter whites. To keep your space from feeling too stark, add icy silver and clear glass accessories for a sleek and chic look. 15holidayideas-treeskirt.jpg

5 Easy tree skirt

Save a penny or two by repurposing items around your home for your holiday decor. Take a neutral throw and wrap around the base of your tree for a simple skirt like in the photo above. 15holidayideas-boxwood.jpg

6 Boughs of boxwood

Trade in the cedar and holly for some boughs of boxwood, artificial or fresh. Attach the simple sprigs to your banister with ribbon for a stunning garland or drape above a doorway to make a festive entrance. 15holidayideas-letitsnowinside.jpg

7 Let it snow (inside!)

These days, a Christmas tree comes in all shapes, sizes and colours, so why not try a white one? Avoid the tacky white artificial ones and opt for a green one (real or fake!) flocked with white that gives the appearance of snow. 15holidayideas-decoratewithdrama.jpg
8 Decorate with drama

Amp up the glamour this holiday season with a bold black and gold colour palette. Create a luxe table setting like the one above by contrasting black silky fabrics with gold chargers and accents. 15holidayideas-hanukkah.jpg

9 Happy Hanukkah
No matter what significance you attach to the holiday season, a beautifully decorated house is a must. Hang a sparse Star of David wreath for a modern take on Hanukkah decor. 15holiday-ideas-dippedinwhite.jpg

10 Dipped in white

Holiday greenery can prove to be quite expensive, so why not do an easy holiday DIY project to cut back on your holiday budget? Head to a craft store for a foam or twig circle and create a pinecone wreath using a glue gun. For a unique wintry look, dip the bottom of the wreath in white paint. 15holidayideas-goforgold.jpg

11 Go for the gold

For the most luxurious of holiday looks, opt for an all-gold palette. Decorate with pretty Christmas tree ornaments, gilded table settings and glowing holiday candles, but keep the rest of the space minimal with bare tabletops and neutral fabrics. 15holidayideas-baubles.jpg

12 Beautiful baubles

Introduce a bit of girly glamour into your holiday decorating scheme by trading in the greenery for sparkly and vibrant baubles. Add an element of fun to your dining room by hanging pretty ornaments from the chandelier like in the photo above. 15holiday-ideas-seasonalswag.jpg

13 Seasonal swag

Hallways often get forgotten when it comes to holiday decorating, but don’t leave your home’s walkways bare. Create a cohesive holiday space by hanging a swag of pinecones on the exterior side of your home’s doors. 15holiday-ideas-triplethefun.jpg

14 Triple the fun

There’s no rule saying ‘only one wreath per door’. Elaborate on your outdoor holiday decorating by creating a front door feature worth a triple take – a lengthy ribbon holding three wreaths in place make a serious statement piece. 15holidayideas-filledwithfestive.jpg

15 Filled with festiveness

Create a festive vignette in a pinch by filling cylinder vases with pretty ornaments. Use two to flank a mantel or group together for an easy, modern centrepiece on your holiday dining table.
