Christmas in Blue: Holiday Dress for a 19th Century Mansion in Italy

The homeowners in this Italian mansion chose blue as the main color for their Christmas decor. This noble shade fits perfectly with the refined look of the 1848 mansion. During restoration, the owners tried to preserve the original interiors as much as possible, which is why the house is filled with authentic antique items rather than vintage pieces. A bold and colorful modern decor would be out of place here, so they focused on classic elements: fir garlands, ornaments, and holiday symbol figures. Elegant yet unobtrusive decorations create a festive atmosphere in the home, and the dining table is already adorned with panettone — a sweet Italian Christmas cake filled with candied fruits, traditionally baked during the holiday season.
