Inspired by a lush sofa, soft antique brass and the sequin dresses in this month's masthead, here's a recipe for a fresh twist on a holiday color scheme:
Take one part deep velvety blue ornaments and accents. Warm up with three parts burnished gold gift wrap, china and tree. Add plumes of peacocks. Festoon with sparkly ornaments and trim in amethyst and emerald, if you like. Meanwhile, mix a Bombay Gin martini as Elvis croons "Blue Christmas" on the stereo. Stir it all up. Savor a relaxed and lovely night of holiday decorating.
