1. Start with a neutral base and add pops of red in your holiday wreath
Nothing grabs attention quite like the bold, festive flair of red in your holiday wreath. Pairing vibrant red accents with a neutral base creates a perfect balance of warmth and style. Amy Baez, owner of Amy Baez Interiors in League City, TX, suggests, “Make red the focal point of your holiday wreath to captivate attention instantly. Start with a neutral base, such as natural greenery or a grapevine base, and layer in red elements like holly berries, or crimson ornaments.”
To elevate the look even further, Amy recommends incorporating texture with red velvet ribbon or painted pinecones. “This bold pop of color will create a festive, eye-catching statement that feels both classic and contemporary.”
