Why silver and white are the best Christmas decor colours

If you're looking for a colour scheme that creates an elegant, festive atmosphere this holiday season, try decking your halls with silver and white.
This timeless combination can be used all winter long, creating a bright look even beyond the Christmas season. The list below provides a few helpful hints on how to fully achieve the simple, chic look of white and silver in your home.

With the advancements in LED lighting technology, you can now get all-white lights in a variety of styles. Consider straight line sets for your tree and for draping along the mantle. For a more modern look, a white rope light would work beautifully to line the edge of a room or outline something special on a wall.

There are also sets that have built-in icicles or arches, and some sets are arranged in nets for use on shrubbery. The elegance of white lights often comes with white wires to enhance your white and silver theme.

What's Christmas without some silver bells? The classic decoration can be used anywhere in your home. They can easily be hung from the tree or next to the stockings over the fireplace.

For a different look, hang one of them from each arm of your chandelier. You can find bells in a variety of sizes to coordinate with any household item.

White and silver bows can add a crowning touch to your decor. Use a big one on your front door to welcome your guests. Tie smaller ones on cabinet door knobs in the kitchen and bathroom. They are available in simple or intricate patterns to match your individual needs.

Get some extras for the tree and for adorning your wrapped gifts. Your packages will look especially nice if you use silver paper with white bows and vice versa.

Snow can be an important part of your decor. Silver foil snowflakes make stunning tree ornaments. These decorations also look nice hung in a window. Spray snow can add that old-fashioned frosted look to your windows and mirrors in no time.

Other items to consider include stars, snowmen, clear icicles, tinsel and garland. They can all add a festive touch to your classic silver and white decorating theme. By keeping your choices simple and elegant side, you can easily keep these decorations up until spring.
