One of my favorite Christmas decorating ideas is to take colors that don't traditionally have anything to do with Christmas and make them holiday perfect.West Elm (a site I know I mention frequently) is one of the best at taking different hues and shades and blending them together in a look that is unmistakably Christmas, but with a fresh face. This year, West Elm seems to be leaning towards wasabi greens and teal blues (gentle and calming but somehow not pastel) contrasted with dark blacks and charcoals for maximum impact.
These ornaments are a perfect example of how Christmas decorations can be both trendy and classic, all at the same time. The leafy shape and glittering, ice-encrusted look of the crystals are traditional Christmas, but the wasabi, teal, clear, and black color combinations are very contemporary.
