Color-Coded Christmas

http://manila.metblogs.com/archives/images/2006/11/Christmas-thumb.jpg“Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la la la la la…”

Are you decking your halls with the classic Christmas colors — red bows, green wreaths and gold pine cones? Or maybe you’re into giving your home a Silent Night feel — dark blue ribbons, silver stars, crystal ornaments? Or if you’re into another classic, perhaps you’re dressing your tree in lilac-dressed dolls, cream-colored flowers and lace? Or maybe you have no clue as to what motif you’d like your home to have this Christmas. Whatever way you’re choosing to deck your halls this Christmas, I know just the place you can go to — SM Department Store!

I went to SM Megamall last week and was excited by the way they organized their Christmas decor. All the reds were in one corner, the blues in another, the oranges, the purples, the greens… they all had their little colored nooks. It was a very shopper-friendly layout. While each color had its own nook filled with balls, bells and lights, the nooks weren’t too far away from each other should you wish to choose colors from another nook.

At the time I shopped, the shoppers were filling their baskets with decor from their chosen color motif — red was a popular choice. There were also a lot of bodies milling around the oranges and blues. The purples and greens? Not quite.

I had no plans of decorating my home this Christmas. After seeing the gorgeous orange and gold decor, I changed my mind. I can already picture my little home adorned with those gold sprigs and warm balls of honey and cream. Exciting!

How are you decking your halls this Christmas? Do you have any color motif in mind? You can get ideas if you visit SM’s department store, or you can browse through magazines and websites till you find the look that feels right for you. Then you can go and experience the color-coded Christmas shopping yourself. Whatever your choice of color is, enjoy decking your halls with red/orange/yellow/green/blue/violet boughs and holly!

    Hi Toni. Our Christmas color scheme is red and gold. We just put up our tree recently and took some photos. We still have to put the rest of the Christmas decors within the week.
