I just love the holidays, but truth be told, I’ve never felt that inspired by the traditional holiday colors, red and green. Instead, I prefer to play around with other color schemes when decorating my home for the holiday season.

Then you have green, which is often used for traditional holiday decor, particularly because of the focus on trees, garlands and other natural elements. The two colors feel comfortable together, but the pairing still breaks from tradition.
