For a winter-themed tone, blue looks striking against white. There are many kinds of blue that you could try and pair with icy white - pale blue, royal blue, aqua, turquoise, and teal. Think about a winter landscape and purple-blue and dark blue colors of tree shadows on the white snow.

Bring in the promise of warmth by pairing a purple-blue with golden yellow symbolizing the returning sun. Seashells and starfish, decorated with blue and golden glitter and ribbons are some modern Christmas decorations ideas that are attractive and look distinctive. For some gold and glamour, decorate your Christmas tree and table centerpieces with peacock feathers, sprinkled with golden glitter to add an exotic flavor to modern Christmas décor. Create stunning modern Christmas decorations for your holiday table by crafting a centerpiece with a glass jar. Simply cover the lid with blue glitter and place iridescent golden beads in the jar surrounding a pillar candle.

An easy décor update for this season is to incorporate scented beeswax candles and festive decorative pillows into a room. If you are going with the blue and gold theme, dress-up your furniture with plush throws and attractive decorative pillows in gilded or sequined brilliance. Imagine pillows of gilded grasscloth or light-catching foil-printed material to accessorize and enhance your holiday décor. A dimensional gold poinsettia print on burlap pillows can become great vintage-inspired decorative pillows. A grouping of pillows adorned with letters that spell J-O-Y can create an assemblage that adds festive cheer to your home.

Make some beautiful candles by using decoupage to decorate pillar candles with sheet music. You can do this by transferring the sheet music to a transparency and gluing it to the outside of the candles; use varying candle sizes to create a festive grouping. Another idea is to fill glass containers with alternating layers of a layer of golden glitter and blue glass pebbles. Place a scented soy tealight on the top of glitter layer or insert a candle into the container for some unique lighting options.

Have fun decorating your home with pillows and candle holders in blue, combined with soft yellow Christmas lights to create a relaxing, warm atmosphere for cozy and stylish winter holidays.
