Using Rose Gold Christmas Decorations for a Warm Holiday

In this post: If you’re looking to create an enchanting holiday, try using rose gold Christmas decorations to add a touch of warmth and magic to your holiday home.⇒

When I say ‘Christmas’, what colors come to mind?

Are you a traditional red and green decorator? Do you pick your colors because you love them or because you think they’re what you’re supposed to use?

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you already know I’m a bit of a rebel and I tend to favor soft warm tones.

So, I want to talk about how (and why) to use rose gold Christmas decorations for the holidays.

Why You Should Consider Rose Gold Christmas Decor

It’s not that I don’t like red and green.

Done right, it can be lovely. Maybe a rich crimson and a deep hunter, offset by a linen white. Yep, I just might do that palette next.

But holiday colors become all the more special when infused with some glimmer, and nothing says glimmer quite like gold.

So now, what if you take that gold, and add a touch of holiday red to it?

Not next to it, but actually mix it right into the paint (or dye). That’s how you get rose gold!

And there’s my justification for using it for the holidays… 😉

Well, ok, truth be told, I really like using it because I just think it’s pretty.

It fits in with my personal aesthetic and the colors of my home. It plays nicely with my beloved pinks and it’s as festive as anything I can imagine.

It combines the pedigree of gold with the warm glow of rosy pinks.

How to Use Rose Gold Christmas Decorations

Using rose gold in your holiday decor is as simple as finding some elements in this color feeling and mixing them in with pinks, golds, and holiday greenery.

You can find pieces that come in this exact color way or you can achieve the general feeling with a blend of tones. Take advantage of the reflections on the various mirrored surfaces that are so prevalent in holiday decor and create a rose gold impression by placing pink next to gold.

Rose Gold Ornaments

Without a doubt, the simplest way to infuse your Christmas decor with any new color scheme, including rose gold, is through your selection of ornaments.

This is the easiest category to find items that are actually pink gold in color, like the rose gold ornaments I nestled in a gilded bowl, below. They came in a pack with 3 different finishes which all bear the appropriate hue, a lovely meeting point between pink and gold.

But you can also find a variety of options beyond just solid baubles, that mix various metallic accents with shades of this elegant tone. (See the resource guide at the bottom of the post.)

Copper Vessels

A wonderful way to complement this warm metallic hue is to use copper vessels. While I enjoy the contrast of rose gold against yellow gilding, the mix with copper takes it up another notch.

Copper tends to be darker and a bit more orange than pink gold, but the mix is heavenly and perfect for your holiday festivities. It provides an extra dose of warm holiday cheer that communicates the essence of the Christmas season.

Find pitchers, planters, votives and more in varied shades of copper, the paler and pinker the better, in this case.

Flowers

Nothing brings out the rosy pink tones quite like pale pink flowers. They may not actually be rose gold, but pairing blush blooms with copper works beautifully with this trend.

I’ve been absolutely charmed to find peonies in the winter the past few years and I couldn’t be more delighted. But any blush pink floral will work equally as well.

Fill copper pitchers with blush pink flowers or place a white vase with a peach and rose bouquet next to a low copper planter. Toss in a few rose gold baubles for good measure. Use seasonal faux greenery to drive the holiday message home.

Additional Ideas

• Decorate a wreath with rose-gold Christmas ornaments.
• Try a rose-gold Christmas tree.
• Tie a rose gold ornament cluster with ivory ribbons.
• Scatter copper candle holders around the room.
• Tuck a blush pink napkin into a copper napkin ring.
• If you can’t find items to purchase in this color feeling, you can turn to craft supplies, like rose gold paint or rose gold glitter, and add pops of this hue to items you already own.

I truly love the softened mood of these subtle colors, and the fact that they blend seamlessly with the decor in all of my rooms is testament to the fact that rose gold is my thing!

Best of all is the warm feeling that rose gold adds to your home.

It’s a wonderful way to add a note of magic and enchantment to your holiday season!
