Red and white is a very popular colour combination during the month of December and they are the most widely-used colours for Christmas. White symbolises snow, while red evokes Santa and festive ribbons, automatically conjuring up the Christmas spirit. Brass is a go-to choice when it comes to seasonal interior accents, complementing red and white perfectly. If you already have a white colour scheme at home it's easy to add a nice-looking cushion or throw on the sofa and to switch out some of the candle holders you no doubt already have at home with some in a red colour palette.
