Traditional red & green

IT'S AS CLASSIC AS YOU CAN GET, SO EMBRACE A NOSTALGIC THEME THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON

- MADDIE BALCOMBE

MIX-AND-MATCH MOTIFS With a scheme as traditional as this, it's important to add something to draw the eye. Combine tartan, festive stripes and botanical accents together for a homespun feel. To take it even further, consider experimenting with scale and sizes, too.

CREATE VARIETY THROUGH COLOUR Using different shades of these core colours will make the look pop. Crimson will pair well with a playful Scandi red, and olive green can be used alongside deeper forest accents. Offset with white to add balance to the scheme.
