It's All About Rich Moments, Enjoying Prettiness Indoors or Outdoors
Colors For The Holidays
It won’t be long before you will be decorating your home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Are you ready?! Colors for the holidays will be on the minds of many very soon if not already. Which colors are you leaning to for decorating? Some colors are good no matter the season, especially in the cooler/cold months of the year. The reds whether called merlot, burgundy, crimson, ruby and deep plums or purples come to mind for me when thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pillows with rich deep color can carry you from Fall through the end of February. After Christmas the house can look bare but leaving the rich colors out instead of packed away will help cozy up your house for those grey cold days of winter. Avoiding pillows with any writing helps stretch the pillow budget so you can use them for more than one month and it gives your home a more polished look. Do you have any rich colors you like to carry you through the colder months of the year?
Red and burgundy will be definitely living on the sofas through winter in my home. The Fall grasses and leaves behind the sofa give a clue that this is an Autumn look. Dried and fresh roses that coordinate with the pillow colors make it all blend together.

The colors of the burgundy and golds are beautiful! It’s different but like it!
Thank you LaDonna! I am glad you like it!
I love the red colors – I have a red couch and it’s so much fun to decorate. Get post.
Thanks Mary! I love red any way I can have it. They work so well for the cool/cold season of the year especially with Thanksgiving and Christmas.
What lovely combinations of colors! I love the burgundy and green, and by the way, Layla is adorable!
Awww…Layla will appreciate that! Her daddy thinks she is human! Thanks so much Chloe!
Hi Jan, the colors are very beautiful for fall and winter. Very warm and cozy. I am very much a lover of red!! Sometimes when there is snow on the ground I like to pull out my blues for January. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thank you Jann! I know how that is, I love red and blue. Sometimes in the winter you just need to see that blue since the sky isn’t always so bright.
Beautiful, Jan!
Thank you Pam! I appreciate your sweet comment.
Those Fall grasses look so pretty mixed with the other colors in your room. The jewel tones are perfect this time of year!
Thank you so much Kelly! I have to admit I love color in a room anytime of the year. ;)!
I just love the red!! So very beautiful!
Thank you Shirley! I can’t say no to a rich red, especially this time of year.
We are talking about new couches, not because they look bad, but because the bottoms are falling out and we have had them rebuilt once already. Now, I can imagine how the white has changed the balance in your house. Really must be an adjustment. I’m still battling with the all white kitchen…pretty much why I still haven’t posted ‘ta-da–we are finished”pictures, lol. Anyway, I can see you are experimenting, and I’m going to follow the process. Grins, it is gorgeous, no matter what you do. Thanks for sharing, Sandi
Thanks Sandi! It is a big change. Immediately the room felt so much calmer and lighter. There are so many options now that I didn’t have before. But what really gave me the nudge to go with white is a sofa I saw on Pinterest of a white sofa with the seats upholstered in a blue pattern. It’s beautiful and was done by a designer. That told me that if I don’t like living with so much white I can easily change it! A white kitchen is a big change for sure!
