Pink and gold is soft, warm and quietly glamorous. These 9 ways to create a luxe pink and gold Christmas balance the two colours with texture and light so your home feels elegant rather than sugary.
| Item | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Blush | Main colour for textiles and baubles |
| Gold | Metal accents, about one third |
| White | Flocking and candles for breathing room |
| Green | A touch of real or faux pine |
| Champagne | A bridge shade between pink and gold |
Tip: Use LED candles on mantels with garlands, keep real flames well away from foliage and ribbons, and switch tree lights off overnight. Secure heavy mirrors and tall candlesticks so they cannot be pulled over by children or pets.
