![]() I love to coordinate the wrapping paper to my tree colors! Do you do that too? The theme continues to the presents under the tree. Speaking of presents, my navy Christmas tree decorations do not stop with the tree. The ‘merry’ pillow was one of the DIY Christmas pillows we made a couple years ago. I found some navy velvet pillow cases at Hobby Lobby and they went perfectly with the navy velvet ribbon on the presents under the tree. Ha! But I thought they look really good though! They are really not antiques, I got them at Walmart. To complete the asymmetric look, I hung our stockings on one side and added some antique gold bells. I used some inexpensive regular faux garland and bulked it up with some greenery stems that I found at Hobby Lobby to make it look more realistic. I have seen this trend for the last couple years, but was not too keen on it initially. Speaking of garland, this asymmetrical greenery garland is another first for me. This is the first time I have used multiple wood bead garlands and I LOVE this look! I just used command hooks to attach the garlands in several places. I was able to add all three accent colors to the mantel by using some ornaments instead of candles on the candle holders. I really love the mixed wood tones of the different candle holders and wood bead garlands. I am usually all about symmetry! Ha! But I have to say that I adore this mantel this year! I am not sure if you guys realize how big this is for me. The placement of the embroidery hoops follow the line of the candle holders and add to the asymmetrical look of this mantel. I think they look so quaint and adorable! I just added some greenery and ribbon to the embroidery hoops. The wood tones from the tree carry through to the mantel with the candle holders, wood bead garlands and the embroidery hoops. Ha! Oh well, it still works and I am thinking of it as more of an abstract piece of art. Wonderful likes to use, he says he is not a perfectionist but he strives for excellence. However, I do have certain standards that I like my projects to have, and I felt like this one fell short. I am not sure what that says about me, I don’t fancy myself a perfectionist. ![]() As I shared in that post, I was not completely in love with this project and if I had more time, I would have probably re-worked it. The focus piece on the mantel is this DIY macrame wall hanging that I shared last week. I continued the macrame and wood theme with my mantel. ![]() What do you think?Ĭoordinate your Christmas tree and your mantel Although it is missing the color red which is commonly associated with those trees. I think it looks wonderful with the navy blue instead. With all these handmade ornaments and the minimalist look, it reminds me of a Scandinavian Christmas tree. I just tied them in half and set them on branches so it looks like they are knotted on the branch. Instead of putting ribbon around the this Christmas tree, I opted for a simpler look of some smaller strips of ribbon. I thought the navy color would mix beautifully with the cream and wood tones of the DIY macrame Christmas ornaments and DIY wood bead ornaments I made. ![]() In the living room, I went with navy Christmas ornaments on a natural green Christmas tree. I used navy, red and green colors for my overall decorating but decorated each Christmas tree focused more specifically on one color. I was a little cautious to go with a blue color palette for Christmas since I am not a huge fan of decorating with the color blue, although I do love navy blue! I think it is such a classic color and dresses up any decor. Just FYI… my worries were all for naught, that has not been the case AT ALL! In fact, there are so many decorated houses and businesses down here, that it has felt extra Christmas-like.Īfter much deliberation, I decided why not just go with all three colors? □ So that is what I did! I was just a bit concerned that since we would not have snow and cold weather for Christmas that it would not feel as Christmas-y here. Since we moved to Florida this year, I was conflicted on going with a blue color scheme to go with the Florida vibes or to go with a traditional red and green color palette to feel more like Christmas. Today I will be sharing my living room with mostly navy Christmas decor, although I threw in some red and green accents. I am excited to finally be sharing my Christmas decor with you all! This year I decorated two trees! One in the living room and one in the dining room. If you are missing the classic Christmas colors, throw a little red and green into the mix! This classy navy Christmas decor with macrame and wood bead accents is a fun twist on the Scandinavian Christmas look.
