Soft and gentle palettes: Romantic elegance

  • Bubbly Rosé (Rose Blush and Off-White/Cream): This palette infuses a romantic and soothing elegance. These shades light up your home with a gentle glow.
    • Our decor tip: Pair these nuances with rose gold and pearlescent finishes to enhance the ethereal and luxurious side of your decor.
  • Mint/Matcha Green and Purple: Inject a dose of modernity and originality! Frosted Mint Green combines with Purple for a playful and unexpected atmosphere, highly popular in whimsical themes.

Warm and earthy palettes: The return to authenticity

  • Mocha Mousse, Cognac, and Caramel: These are the deep, gourmet tones of the great return to authenticity. They evoke leather, wood, and the comfort of a cozy Canadian cabin.
    • For a successful look: For perfect harmony, marry these rich browns with matte gold elements and textures like wool and felt. Your decor will be perfectly grounded.

Christmas decor ideas: 3 Simple themes (Natural, Vintage and Pastel)

The current trends blend nostalgia and nature, offering you unique ways to personalize your space for the Holidays.

  1. Natural Authenticity (Snowy Retreat / Amber Forest)
    • Bring the forest in: Multiply pine branches, natural pinecones, wooden, and ceramic ornaments.
    • The Botanix tip: Fresh greenery (boughs) becomes essential to spread the comforting scent of the North throughout your home.
  2. Vintage Charm and Nostalgia
    • Ribbons are the new garlands: Nostalgia dictates the return of bows, ribbons, and huge flowers! Oversize velvet or satin ribbons becomes the essential accents on wreaths and stair railings.
    • The icon making a comeback: Revive the large artificial Poinsettia flower or fabric flower to add volume to branches, a nod to classic Christmases.
  3. Soft and playful atmosphere: The emergence of whimsical pastel
    • Bet on childhood: This is the most fun theme! Decorate with ornaments shaped like plush bears, bakery figurines, unicorns, or angels, often flocked or glittery.
    • Winning combination: This ambiance integrates perfectly with Rose Blush and Mint Green, ideally on flocked artificial trees.
