How to Decorate Your Home with a Fresh Garden Party Theme

It’s all been done before – bohemian, retro, western, regency – we have had enough! It’s about time designer Ernesto Garcia took us into a world of his own with a home designed with a Victorian garden party theme in mind. Here are some tips to help you get the look:

  • Start off with a neutral tone such as taupe or light gray for walls, and carpeting.
  • Deep purple and cream are the perfect color combination when used in moderation. Use this hue on pillows, benches, or coffee table trinkets.
  • Tiled fireplaces have now successfully swapped your traditional brick or stone.
  • Use delicate fabrics like the small silk floral pillows placed on the green side chairs.
  • Make way for bouquets and pots of blooming flowers.
  • Curtains and rugs in neutral colors with delicate floral prints bring the monotone walls to life.
  • Its all in the details – use intricate detailing on furniture like coffee tables and wall shelving units.

Last Minute Christmas Ideas – Try Lemons and Oranges

Still haven’t found a theme for your Christmas décor? Get yourself over to the nearest grocery store and stock up on nothing other than mandarin oranges and lemons! Use thumb tacks to decorate them and attach patterned ribbons to hang them up on your tree or garland. Pair them up with ornaments in matching colors like burnt orange, taupe, and gold. To tie the whole look together wrap up your gifts with ribbons in citrus hues and paper. Your guests will think you’ve planned this all winter!

Get it Right – A Red and Gold Christmas Theme

Red and gold are definitely THE colors of the season. Being one of the most popular, you really can’t go wrong with this classic color combo. You can try out these elegant shades throughout your home to add shine and sparkle to your overall Christmas décor. Try using white lights as a base and pile on the gold ribbon, red ornaments, bows, and even stringing cranberries from your local grocery store for a dash of red color. Spray painted gold leaves also adds a “gold leaf” effect to your whole theme. What are your favorite holiday color combinations?
