What is the most wonderful time of the year? The Holiday Season of course! Ah Christmas, what a great joy! Decorated trees, illuminated houses, family gatherings, winter vacations… We love everything about Christmas, especially the decorations. Every year, new trends invade Christmas stores and boutiques. If you want to adopt the look of the hour for your holiday decor, choose the Boreal style.
Boreal style Christmas decoration
Snow, frost, bitter cold. That’s what the Boreal style features. Close your eyes and think of a beautiful snowy evening in a cottage nestled on a mountainside in Canada’s Far North. What do you see? Frosty white, silvery grey, steel blue… and even a few cute polar bears and other small northern animals. That’s what Boreal style is all about.To warm up the atmosphere, string lights, candles and a good wool blanket will add to the decor. You can also incorporate some wooden ornaments to the Christmas tree to add a nice natural touch that goes perfectly with the style.The colours will be rather neutral: white, grey, moss green, icy blue. If you want to add a touch of colour, midnight blue will punctuate your decor with class. It’s even time to bring out the artificial snow and give a snowy look to the Christmas tree branches. You will definitely want to put a small log in the fireplace to enjoy your evenings in this soft and soothing atmosphere.Pastel colors
For the past few years, although the traditional green, red and white are still very present, there has been a surge in pastel shades for Christmas decorations: baubles, tree ornaments, characters and stuffed animals, etc.Candy pink, golden pink, turquoise, lilac and other shades of purple come in a multitude of decorative elements that work really well with gold and silver to create soft, romantic settings. You can combine them too, but do it in moderation if you want to keep a beautiful harmony.
