Luxe Pink Gold Christmas Decor Ideas

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.

Balance the palette

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

The tree and mantel

  1. Choose a flocked tree so pink and gold ornaments glow against white branches.
  2. Mix matte, glitter and mirrored baubles in both colours for depth.
  3. Drape a pink floral garland with gold leaves along the mantel.
  4. Line the mantel with gold candlesticks of varied heights.

Textures and accents

  1. Add velvet, such as a pink armchair throw or cushion covers.
  2. Hang a gold-framed mirror to bounce candlelight around the room.
  3. Use a faux fur tree skirt in blush or ivory.

Finishing touches

  1. Wrap gifts in matching pink paper and gold ribbon so they become decor.
  2. Set a blush tablescape with gold flatware and pink napkins.

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.
