The table is set for Christmas

Christmas is represented by the colors red, as in holly berries and Santa Claus’ outfit; green as in fir trees; gold as in candles and stars; and white as in snow. Colors play a crucial role in creating the perfect holiday atmosphere. Just as there are many colors associated with Christmas, you can find as many trimmings and Christmas ideas for your home at Robinsons Department Store.

Here are tips to make decorating a breeze:

• INFUSE YOUR home with colorS

For a unified look, check out your home’s color scheme. If your furniture is predominantly made of wood, decorate your Christmas tree with warm colors like red, gold, brown, red-orange and other earth colors like sage, green and ivory. If your home has whites, beiges and crystals, more contemporary colors like icy blue, silver or even purple, lilac or pink are sure to match. Put together dark brown twigs, pine cones and mix them with bright yellow, green, blue and orange Christmas balls and wired ribbons in autumn tones to complement a country-style home.

• Decide on a decorating motif

Do you love luscious and luminous beaded fruits? You might want to bring the jewel tones into your Christmas decorating through beaded mini Christmas tree tabletops or topiaries. If you love rustic, earthy decorations, try greens, browns, and golds with your garlands and swags. If you see a classic red-and-gold fabric that you think would be spectacular in the center of your dining room table, draw your Christmas colors from that fabric design. Put a gold table runner over a deep red tablecloth, then bring out the red-and-gold dining ornaments — table napkins, placemats, goblets, taper candles and holiday tableware — to make Yuletide meals special.

To make your home look festive with different colors, check out Robinsons Department Store’s Christmas decor this early and you’ll definitely have enough time left to truly enjoy the season.
