We tend to avoid putting red and green together for obvious reasons. But after looking through WorldTraveling's photos of her beautiful flat in Japan, we're starting to reconsider this traditional holiday color combo for the home. In fact, the color coordination almost overshadows some of the small living solutions that she and her husband have devised in their stylish home. More details and photos after the jump...

Even though the majority of the furniture in their place came from a leasing company, this couple does a great job making it all their own. The pillows on their leased sofa are made of memory foam and large enough to throw on the floor for extra seating, while the basket next to the sofa holds blankets for lounging or overnight guests. The large mirror behind the sofa opens up the living room nicely, making the apartment seem much wider.

That's not a mirror behind the sofa - that's an archway into another room (the room w/ the bookcases and red chairs)
And I like Red & Green together - it's not "Too Christmas-y" when done right.
I think the main thing is the use of "non-Christmasy" shades of red and green. Note the shades of lime, olive, and grass. The green throw on one of the papasan-style chairs is the only really Christmasy green I see.
