Options for the non traditional Holiday decor

   There are color trends that you could choose for your holiday decor but keep in mind these are colors you need to love and if you are investing in a lot of decor you need to love them enough to use them year after year. You can start with a few items and add on or just go all out.


  The colors for this home were inspired by the wall art and other pieces that were displaced. We wanted to create a dramatic piece for the fireplace and after searching high and low one of our Designers decided to create a Seahorse out of Poly Clay and we collected lights that look like strings of pearls, Large abalone shells, and lots of Sea shades of glass ornaments. It is a fantastic and dramatic sea scape and has to be one of our favorites.

Fun and interesting Items for the Holiday Decorator


Ilex, from the Holly family has small berries usually red but can be shades of red. The fruits are variously colored berries, which ripen in winter, and offer a pleasant color contrast with the color of winter greens. The berries, look really amazing against Princess Pine or Cedar and because you can get them in several lengths you have the option of using them as an accent for long centerpieces or to create height and drama along with those wonderful Amaryllis bulbs that are finally blooming. We used a artisan glass vase in vibrant red to showcase these amazing berries, the sphere shaped designs are covered in a green Dianthus (from the carnation family) can you believe that. It’s just one of our designer’s favorite. We inserted forelle pears which are the perfect size into the sphere for texture and accented with Cymbidium Orchids, another favorite.
