Configure your holiday table can be a snap if you choose red and green as your color scheme. Many of us grew up with bright red and green as the setting for family vacations at home and at school. These colors will bring back happy memories of Christmas past past.
Start with red and green, you already have dishes, and assess what pieces you need to add, depending on your menu and number of guests.
- Choose a true red, cherry red or Candy Apple.
- Choose a green that is surrounded on the scale (not too yellow, not too blue) as Kelly or pine green.
- Collect paint chips that match the sample color your porcelain. Take them with you when shopping for additional pieces to coordinate with your set of dishes.
- Set off these colors with white, if not the model itself, and others in China, glassware, serving pieces, or your table linen.
- For something a choose a slightly different red Bordeaux and a green tree, then set off these colors with white sheets of winter.
- Pull a reason for your room mistress and harmonize it with colors, like red roses and green holly.
- Add the color scheme of red and green and leave a holiday theme predominate such as snowmen, Santa Claus, snowflakes, evergreen boughs, wreaths and ribbons.
- Collect pieces of tape real coniferous or holiday ornaments to tie in napkin rings, to make the complete look.
Dishes traditional red and green made a table Day celebrations. Adding a few new treasures as accents in harmony with the same color scheme will help your family enjoy their holiday dinners, buffets and meetings even more.
