Sparkle and Shine With Purple
One of this years home decor trends is including metallic accessories in your Christmas decorations. Purple is a bold color that pairs well with other Christmas colors such as gold and sparkling silver. Including gold, silver, and purple in your holiday decorations will make your home shimmer like the light reflecting off of the snow.
Large scale purple and silver shining bows and ribbons laced throughout the house will make any living space festive and different!
Line your mantle with deep purple and shimmering silver candles, matched with traditional green garland for a more vintage look.
Lace Your House With Purple Lights
Christmas lights lining the roofline and twinkling in the trees adds a little extra magic to Christmas. They bring holiday cheer to your home and have become a traditional family outing during the holiday season. Families travel long distances to see the brightest, boldest set up. In some neighborhoods, it has even become somewhat of a competition to see who can be the most creative with their lights.
This year get creative with purple lights. Lace your trees and house with lighter and darker shades of purple. Add white lights for a touch of serenity.
So often we see the typical green, red, and blue lights. These traditional colors are timeless, but switch it up with something a little more modern and elegant by using purple!
Turn Your Tree Purple
For many families, decorating the Christmas tree is a favorite part of Christmas. It is a tradition that we all look forward to each year. Every family has a different idea of how they want their tree to be designed. There is no right or wrong to decorating your tree, but if you ask us at Purpleologist, we believe purple in particular makes for the best tree!
Purple is known as the color of royalty, why not bring a touch of royal to your tree? Decorate your masterpiece in rich purple and violet shades. As mentioned earlier, purple pairs well with the other Christmas colors, gold and silver. Use all three of the mentioned colors to lace your tree with velvet and sparkling ribbons. Glitter coated ornaments will also bring an element of boldness to your rooms centerpiece.
Breaking from tradition is a growing trend, so be different, standout! Go PURPLE!
How to go Purple
Going purple for Christmas can be difficult. It is easy to find the traditional colors red and green in a variety of different ornaments and decor but maybe not so easy for purple.
However, whatever ornaments you choose can be sprayed painted to purple- never underestimate the power of a can of spray paint! You can also use purple glitter to add that sparkle.
