I used to decorate with lots of color for the holidays and then changed to mostly neutral for several years.
Now, I find that I am drawn to more color again.....mostly red in accents like pillows and throws.
Do you change your holiday color scheme from year to year or basically stay with the same color scheme?

Big LR tree is predominantly red and apple green. Adding a flocked tree in the FR this year: will be silver and gold. Have not decided on the DR yet. Not planning to decorate much more than that for this year.

I lean toward the ivories and metallics like bronze, silver and gold. If I use green and red, I go for burgundies and hunter greens. I do not care for bright green and bright red.

Matte metallics -- silver, gold, champagne, copper -- and accented with cream & white. My tree lights are the incandescent clear color. I am trying my first flocked anything this year -- a flocked garland for the fireplace.
Growing up, my family always had multi-colored everything, which I loved. But my tastes have changed within the last 10 years or so, and I adore the matte metallic look.

I never change my color scheme for Christmas...it's Christmas red, Christmas green, gold, silver, maybe a bit of blue--whatever colors are in the ornaments I've collected over the 42 years I've been married. I do one tree, in the living room (we don't have separarte living/family rooms) and it's a wonderful jumble of all kinds of ornaments! No "theme" whatsoever.

Entry way I have a white tree so I do white around the front door and banister area. Moving into the living room and dining room I do red and gold. In the kitchen I do ginger bread theme so it green and reds. Down in the family room it more of a cabin look a tree with all the ornaments the kid made in school and neighbors made and such . The bathroom is all snowmen so it all colors. I've been married 44 years and to change now would be to much money and work.

Years ago I was Holiday decorating with a lot of color then we moved to a home in a coastal area on the water. I changed to muted colors because it just goes with the beach area and my current decor. However I do find myself adding a few colorful pieces in here and there.

@vermint, Your Christmas decor sounds very homey and beautiful.
I am very much a Christmas green and red decorator. However, I do prefer a white (sometimes I'll go with flocked), or "Charlie Brown" bare branch tree.

Thank you so much @Trix! Those have always been the "colors of Christmas" to me. Flocked and/or white trees are beautiful, but since my walls are off-white, I think it would just disappear! The Charlie Brown tree sound cute...that is just about my favorite animated Christmas program. Even now, in our 60's, DH & I look forward to watching it every year!

Like most folks, I don't redecorate every year and couldn't even if I wanted to, but I do tend to pick different accent colors and 'themes' each year. I have enough stash accumulated that I can pick and choose colors and 'themes' to highlight that suit me any given year. Often, I'll plan something and sometimes I stick to the plan, but more often something just evolves as I'm working on the decorations. I will say, I don't do nearly the holiday decorating I once did. I now find a little goes a long way...
