This red and white Christmas foyer, reminiscent of candy canes, has a flocked Christmas tree, red cardinals, poinsettias, and red and white striped ribbon.
Candy Cane Christmas
Step into my enchanting red and white Christmas foyer! I always start with a theme in mind before decorating the Christmas tree, and this year, I was inspired by candy canes.
I used a red and white striped ribbon as the focal point to start the look I was going after.
Flocked Tree for Red and White Christmas
The tree is flocked in white snow and is my all-time favorite Christmas tree! I added only a few red decorations to keep the red decorations from overpowering the white tree. In the past, I have decorated this flocked tree with a heavy amount of red. However, using lots of red gives the tree a different vibe!
TIP: Did you know you should keep an artificial tree with white flocking in a cool place during the hot summer months? The heat turns the white flocking brown over time. The only way to reverse the problem is to remove all the original flocking and re-flock the tree withΒ a flocking kit. It is time-consuming to remove flocking, and, unfortunately, a spray-on can of “snow” is not a good solution for hiding the discoloration.
Red Finial Tree Topper
I really love the red finial tree topper that’s placed on top of the tree. It’s a substantial mercury glass finial, but it complements this 9 1/2-foot tree perfectly. With it, the tree reaches an impressive height of about 11 feet!
Wreaths for Red and White Christmas
I used wreaths to decorate the stairs this year. Although I admire handrails draped in Christmas greens and adorned with pretty ribbons, I decided to try something different.
Each artificial wreath has fresh greens inserted between the wire stems to give it a “fresh-greens” look. Then I added red ornaments by attaching them to the greenery so they would hang in the middle of the wreaths.
Finally, I added red and white striped ribbons tied into bows to the top of each wreath. I attached the wreaths with plastic-coated wire. To keep the wreaths fresh, I occasionally misted them with water from a spray bottle.
