Prefer non-traditional Christmas decor? Try this gorgeous gold, blue and brown theme for your home this year! Get inspired to create a cozy space for the holidays today!
I've been switching up the Christmas decor theme in my home for years. I don't change everything, but I always change the color scheme in the living room. I like to look at trending colors or find inspiration in other seasons to build fresh holiday palettes.
I've decorated many years with non-traditional palettes because I'm not really into lots of red at the holidays. I even wrote a post about Christmas color palettes without red! I'll add a pop of red here and there, but despite my usual leanings, last year I went all in on red.
And if I'm being honest...
I didn't love it by the end of the season. By December 26, I was completely OVER all of the red decor.
Christmas Tree Decor from the Past
A few years ago I did a nostalgic plaid tree, which I loved. It wasn't too much red, just the right amount.
So this year I'm returning to my favorite blues and greens and adding some fun new shades, like camel, brown, caramel and even some orange! I'll be mixing in my staple golds and whites, too.
Brown is really trending in home decor right now, so what better way to embrace it than by emphasizing it in my holiday decor?
I'll definitely be reusing the white, gold and blue ornaments from a tree I did a few years ago, and adding more!
I've already received a few items I ordered over the past month. It's important to shop early for holiday decor, because items either sell out or jump in price as the holidays get closer.
I love sharing fun ways to decorate a home for the holidays. I've shown how to add garland to a staircase and decorate the kitchen for Christmas. This year I added a new post all about Christmas card holders. I hope these posts inspire you to create a home you love!
Plans for Brown and Blue Christmas Tree Decor
It's so fun to take elements I've used in the past and add a few new pieces for a completely different look! Here is the design board for the room. It helps me plan and buy for the space when I see it all together first! (Learn how to create your own design board!)
Without further ado, here's the vision for what I'll be doing in my living room this Christmas season.
SOURCES: White & Gold Stockings | Blue Cableknit Stockings | Real-Touch Garland | Gold Bells in Garland | Mini Wreaths (similar) | 55″ Frame TV | Christmas TV Art | Extra-Wide Console Table | Lamp | Wood Framed Wall Mirror | Console Table Basket | Ginger Jar | Boxwood Topiary | Brown Ribbon Bows | Sectional in Twill (Parchment) Fabric | Embellished Tree Pillow | Blue Linen Pillow | Orange Plaid Throw Pillow | Bronze Cable Knit Pillow | Frosted Tree Embroidered Pillow | Blue Storage Ottoman | Wood Bowl/Tray | Metallic Ornament Candle | Gold Bow Tree Topper | Evergreen Christmas Tree | Brown Velvet Ribbon | Caramel Velvet Ribbon | Brown Velvet Ornaments | Chinoiserie Christmas Tree | Blue and White Nativity | Blue Velvet Ornaments | Flocked Copper Ornaments | Gold Mercury Glass Ornaments | Bow Ornaments (sold out) | Navy & Brown Wrapping Paper | Basket Tree Collar (similar) | Blue Antique-style Rug | Dried Orange Slices
I always start with the tree decor and buy a few new rolls of ribbon and ornaments. I'll use the same white and gold ornaments I've relied on for years, but I picked up some new blue and brown ones because I didn't have many. These beautiful blue ornaments with brown velvet ribbon are a lovely quality!
Once I've settled on the color theme, I start hunting for the perfect coordinating wrapping paper. I found some older rolls in my stash, but this blue and brown floral wrapping paper will coordinate perfectly!
It's been so fun to see how everything looks together as I've started decorating the tree. I arranged some pieces together in the compilation below.
I even bought these clip-on candles that are controlled by a remote. I LOVE how they add so much to the tree, and they can be set on a timer with the remote.
I'll be back to update this post once the living room is decorated and photographed! It won't be long!
