Frequently asked questions

How do I make red and green decor feel modern?

Drop the saturation. Deep cranberry instead of fire-engine red, forest pine instead of grass green. Add cream, brass and natural wood as the third and fourth colors and the palette reads timeless rather than dated.

What goes well with red and green at Christmas?

Brass, cream, natural wood, jute, kraft paper and buffalo check all anchor red-and-green without competing. Avoid silver and pastel pink: they fight the warm tones.

Is buffalo check still in style?

Classic black-and-red buffalo check has aged into permanent territory: it reads farmhouse but never out of fashion. Use it on throws, stockings and tree skirts as an accent rather than the dominant pattern.
