Fresh Holiday Decorating Theme: Blue and Orange

Use clever, colorful accents to transform your living room from bleak beige to brilliant blue and optimistic orange.

Coordinate your gifts with your holiday decorations. Use blues, oranges, and whites to add pizzazz to your holiday gift-giving.

Make this Christmas tree one to remember by decorating the tree to match your room's decor. Hang plates, birds, and flowers instead of using traditional ornaments.

Use fine china and crystal to bring in blues and whites. Hang china plates and display large vases and vessels.

Cover your old ottoman with ornate blue-and-white fabric. Use grommets and ribbon for a tailored, detailed finish.

Create these modern topiaries in an afternoon. Simply cover a Styrofoam ball with strips of fabric, insert the stick and affix in a decorative pot. Anchor the stick using green florist?s foam and top with decorative moss and soap shavings.

Use a collection of china plates to create a unique, decorative piece. Adhere the plates to the board using crazy glue.
