New Traditional Christmas Decorating Color Ideas For The Holiday Season

Decorating for the holidays takes planning, and with planning the first line of defense is time.

It may still be November, but the window for decorating, trimming, and decking our houses, trees and halls to the point of what defines holiday perfection closes sooner than later.

My rule of holiday decorating thumb is as follows:

Give yourself at least ten days to admire the fruits of your holiday decorating labor.

I’m deep in holiday color palette planning– leaning heavily toward a new traditional palette in the Christmas decorating color ideas department.

Traditional green and red remain timeless favorites, but have you seen some of the gorgeous color combinations decking the halls out there at the holidays?

I am so taken with some I thought a post matching interior paint colors with the holiday ornaments and decorations might inspire me and maybe some of you to take a more permanent position with the color palettes.

Inspiration is everywhere, especially at this time of year!
