Fashion-Forward Holiday Decorating Ideas That Don't Involve Red and Green
Hesitating to decorate your place for the holidays because traditional holiday decor clashes with your contemporary style? If you're a fashion-forward gal, red and green can feel a tad dated, but there are lots of stylish ways to fill your home with festive spirit that won't give you flashbacks to your grandparents' house. We've turned to our favorite design influencers to glean inspiration from how they're decorating their homes. Take a peek at their chic color palettes and unorthodox decor ahead.
Snowy White and Bronze Wreath
A clean white and bronze wreath looks positively mod against a pastel pink door.
Modern Black and White Decor
Sleek holiday decor follows the design cues of this mid century modern living room, sticking to a stark black and white palette.
Natural Wood Nutcrackers and Candle Pillars
In a calm and airy room, skip the bright and tacky paint that so often covers nutcrackers, and leave them discretely natural instead.
Golden Flourishes
A paired-down, Scandinavian-style room looks overdone with tons of holiday decor, but a few metallic flourishes scattered throughout are just right.
Rainbow Trees
In a bright living room, a tray of multi-colored pine trees is holiday perfection.
Farmhouse White With Touches of Fresh Greenery
In keeping with the farmhouse theme of this white-washed living room, a simple green wreath and a Christmas tree decorated in white faux flowers hit an appropriately shabby chic note.
Metallic Turquoise Garland
A variation on the oft-used green garland is a playful metallic turquoise one. It sends the same festive signal (especially when paired with red or gold) but in a more modern way.
White and Grey Decor With Antique Bronze Touches
Grey isn't usually associated with the holidays, but it looks vintage chic in this entryway when paired with a white-capped wreath, white stockings, and dangling bronze bells.

Rustic Green and Black Tabletop
Black-and-white check print is an unexpected complement to a centerpiece of seasonal greens. A few gold balls scattered throughout, and you have the perfect holiday tabletop.
