Christmas tradition dictates we design in red and green, but bold Christmas colors can be so refreshingly fun. Who says we can’t add pink, purple and turquoise into the mix? What’s the worst thing that can happen? You get a lump of coal in your stocking? You’ll live.
Let me just say how much fun it was to compile these wacky pictures of playful Christmas decorations. Unconventional ornaments can really put a smile on your face and work beautifully when thinking about modern living room ideas for the holidays. The best part is that they can be a jumping off point for design elements throughout your house.

Bold Christmas colors don't have to be limited to holiday decorations - they can have year-round staying power! Jewel-toned home accessories can act as the inspiration for holiday decorations and gifts, but are stylish in both winter and summer.
