The holidays are in full swing and who doesn’t love the abundance of deep emerald greens, burgundy and crimson hues? Whether you are entertaining through the holidays with your family or just spreading the yuletide spirit to a few intimate friends, here's how to bring bold jewel tones into your holiday home decor, furnishings, and lighting this season.
Glam it up in your textiles and furnishings!
If there is any season when big and bold colors, glitzy and sparkly ornamentation, and rich fabrics abound, it’s the holidays right? Use jeweled inspirations from your favorite gems – sapphire blue, emerald green, and amber gold are perfect for a show-stopping scene. Colorful accent pillows and area rugs are quick and easy ways to add color and a festive flair to your interiors.
Add sleek metallic leather or vinyl like this headboard from Julianne Kelly; it pairs up nicely with the jeweled toned bedding and this look can be carried into your public spaces where entertaining is a must this season. Silver, gold, bronze and copper highlights always show off gems beautifully, don’t they?
Jewel tones in your lighting fixtures
There is a great interiors trend now for bold metallic influences and Lamps Plus helps you bring these gorgeous colors into your lighting fixtures. This Carnival multi-light brushed pendant is perfect for the holidays and is a great example of stylish multi light pendants for your contemporary color scheme.
Lighting is a great way to change up the holiday tone in your home. Change light bulbs to those with less wattage for a more intimate ambiance and brighter for kitchens or family gatherings around a dining room table. However you choose to display your jeweled toned fixtures, changeable lampshades can be versatile all year around.
Gather around a festive dining room in jewel tones
All other times of the year, your home may possess a more traditional and conservative style, but the holidays give you reason to pump up the voltage! In your dining room why not mix and match dining room chairs and adorn your table with festive holiday dinnerware? Avalon Interiors shows you how to beautifully mix and match colors that will instantly become a conversation starter at your holiday dinner party.
If you have a formal and informal dining area, why not set the stage in the formal room with matching window treatments and a gorgeous chandelier accented with jeweled tones? There is no limit to the imagination when these bold jewel tones grace your holiday home decor!
