For fantastic and surprising Christmas color schemes for your home, here are a few ideas:
White and Cream
For Christmas color schemes, I’ve been drawn toward whites, cream, gold, and silver. This color range can create either a vintage, cottage feel or something understated and elegant. For a rustic ambiance, pair it with a bit of burlap garland or a burlap tree skirt. If you’re going for a more traditional look, cream, gold, and clear ornaments paired with white lights is a beautiful combination. In this white tree I’m working on, I used clear ball ornaments, along with silver ones, to create a white Christmas theme. I also took some pages from an old book we haven’t used in years, and I used them to make paper ball ornaments to hang onto the tree. All in all, the color scheme has a cooling effect on the senses.
Gold and Turquoise
Although these two hues are far from each other on the color spectrum, gold and turquoise create a rich color scheme for your evergreen tree. Gold is a more subdued color than yellow and adds a warmth and elegance to your holiday design, while turquoise is not as visually cold as blue. Used together, these two colors present a lovely scheme for your Christmas décor.
Orange and Brown
Another color scheme for Christmas that you can use is orange and brown. This color scheme is warm yet lively, making it perfect for a Christmas celebration with family and friends. These two colors remind me of autumn as well, and that opens up a whole new gamut of shades you can use for your Christmas decorations. You can even throw in some reds or bronze to perk up your Christmas décor this year!
Pink, Blue, and Gold
If you want to spice up your old gold and blue color scheme, try adding some pink. Champagne pink is a great addition to your gold and blue combination because it doesn’t overwhelm the senses with too much brightness. This color combination brings a colorful and youthful look to your Christmas décor.
Pink and Red
Pink is a shade of red, and these two colors create a glamorous look for your Christmas décor. As a color scheme, these two colors bring an interesting harmony to your design. If you’re using a rich, deep shade of red, pair it with pale or champagne pink to avoid overexciting the senses. You can also add some white or silver to balance everything out. Go as bold and as colorful as you want this Christmas with these fantastic color schemes! Try one out and see how many hues and variations you can make.
