Classic Christmas is back! Though I’m sure for some of you it may never have left! But in the design/Pinterest/Instagram world, it seems Christmas decor was in every color but red over the last decade. 

A decade ago pinks and neutrals had a moment, followed by blues of every shade, and the last few years the hot trend was browns and caramels. But now with all the talk of ‘Ralph Lauren Christmas’, red is really having a moment again and I’m here for it!

But though I love it, today I’m not sharing Ralph Lauren inspired holiday decor. I’m focusing on more of what I would call traditional or classic Christmas decor.

This style typically features lots of greenery, with pops of lovely rich red or burgundy. Some add touches of green, or plaid, or white, but the color red is really the focus.

    Love everyone of the pictures and ideas, but what about pottery barn? They had some charming and different ideas ie the gigantic bells and trees, easy to do and variety of places to buy the bells at a fraction of the cost.

    1. Yes, love PB! I’ve linked tons of bells and things from them this season as they are always a favorite! Glad you love them too!

      Happy Holidays!
