Bright colors, bold prints, and throwback silhouettes make this style not for the faint of heart. Luckily, even if you aren’t ready to go full Palm Springs pink, you can incorporate this style into your holiday entertaining to create a fun respite from all of the winter-wonderland themed decor you’re sure to experience. So poor a fruity drink and feel the warm-weather vibes roll your way. Pool not included.
Bold and Bright
The bright light of the desert means equally bright colors are utterly necessary. We love the cheerful feeling that they bring. Hot pink paired with several shades of green (mint, lime, and hunter), accents of yellow, and bright gold combine to bring the sunshine indoors. Think sixties Lilly Pulitzerthere’s no bright color combo that’s too far. Live on the edge! A tinsel tree (in pink, natch), ornaments with a tropical vibe, and tons of shine and light will be a great pick me up for those dark winter months. If you want to keep the desert atmosphere throughout the year, swap out heavier fabric pillows and window treatments for lighter cottons to let in tons of sunlight. If you’re really committed, wallpaper is a great way to add a mega-statement to any room. Check out patterns that have those nostalgic retro touches in a modern context.

Celebrate in Style
For entertaining, try glassware that brings the sunset inside, shiny flatware, and funky dishware. Accent with smaller pieces (a salad or dessert plate is the perfect opportunity) that bring your bright color scheme to the table. For greenery, stray from traditional pine and decorate your table and mantle with succulents! It’s a fresh take that you can use all year round as decor. Accent with bright pinks and yellows for sunny, cheerful charm. Don’t forget the candles- use lots of white tea lights to bring in that warm, ambient light. Serve fun, tropical inspired cocktails and maybe even bust out a retro jello (shot) recipe for a party! Ask your guests to dress in the Mad-Men best and your photos will totally stand out from the crowd of ugly sweater parties. Think breezy, bold glamour. You can’t go wrong!
If Desert daydream is your celebration style, your holiday is going to be as relaxing as a day stretched out by a pristine pool. Palm trees, bright pink, and tons of retro kitsch are a great way to switch things up this holiday and make things festive!
