Introducing Martha Stewart's 2012 Holiday Collections

A fresh palette of holiday colours can keep decorating exciting every year and provide a new backdrop for existing ornaments. Whether your tastes lean traditional or modern, cool or warm, the Martha Stewart Living™ holiday collections make it easy to decorate with a festive new combination of colours. There's Winterberry for the traditionalist, Arctic for a cool feel and Celebrate, which embraces metallic shine.

Here are some tips to help you find the holiday collection that's right for you:

Winterberry – With red as the focal point, this collection is for the holiday traditionalist at heart. The frosted woodland theme includes deer, owls, birds, pinecones, and berry wreaths, plus hints of white, champagne and gingerbread to complement the strong Christmas red. This collection is especially suited to older homes with dark wood accents or spaces with exposed brick walls.

Arctic – The elegant, snow-covered Arctic theme is a fanciful take on the holiday with snowflakes, polar bears, penguins and icicles. The colour palette includes ice white, silver, turquoise and deep blue, making it a fitting choice for a modern condo or industrial space.

Celebrate – If you love the glitz and the glamour of holiday entertaining, then you'll appreciate the Celebrate collection for its warm and inviting look. Marked by bronze and gold décor, this theme includes sparkling wreaths, elegant baubles and swirl-patterned gold ribbon to ensure a sophisticated statement in any home.

Whatever collection you choose, remember it's best to stick to only one or two bold colours when decorating your home for the holidays because too many can make a space feel cluttered. Your best bet? Choose one collection while adding accents from your existing decorations for a cohesive, one-of-a-kind look.
