How to Use Rose Gold Christmas Decor for the Holidays

Rose gold Christmas decor | Designthusiasm.com

Let’s talk Christmas colors. 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 followed my blog through my fall decorating, you already know I’m a bit of a rebel. And this year I’m crushing on soft warm tones. So, I want to talk about how (and why) to use rose gold Christmas decor for the holidays.

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.

But 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.

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. In this case I went with ornaments in 3 different finishes and nestled them in a gilded bowl.

Surrounding this grouping are whites and ivories, greens and bits of nature, and silver, as well, provided by a mercury glass vase. I love mixing metals and it works perfectly for this look.

The underpinning for this vignette is a natural linen runner, and neutral tones are right at home with rose gold.

Nothing brings out the rosy pink tones quite like pale pink flowers. I’ve been absolutely charmed to find peonies the last few weeks and I couldn’t be more delighted. But any blush pink floral will work equally as well.

Next week I’ll be playing with a table setting in this color feeling, and then will move on to some other fun color palettes. But 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!

    Hi Lory!
    These lovely soft Christmas colors are so gorgeous I think I would never put them away. I especially love the little statue with the sparkly crown. I hope you have a good weekend and have some time to come up with some more “rebellious” palettes. Pat @ Bringing French Country Home

    Lory, this is so beautiful….I’m decorating with bright green and red this year, but just did a post on my blog about a shabby pastel holiday too. No matter what colors we use, decorating for the holidays is a chance to make our homes look inviting and welcoming for the people we love. Your colors are beautiful, and your style is always inspiring!

    Hi Lory,
    I love that color combination and the other coordinating colors that go with it. It is very versatile. I almost did a combination of coppery tones with the blushes and a sprinkle of aqua this year, but I had nothing in that color way and starting from scratch was out of my budget this year. However, I will be hitting those after Christmas decor sales and be ready for next year! Always love the sophistication you bring, and the elegant touches!

    Christmas blessings,
    Cathy

      Thank you, Cathy! I probably should have added this to my post (and I’ll try to remember to mention it when I do my tree), but I spent no more than $20! I already had plenty of ornaments in gold and silver, so I found the rose gold at Michaels for $5.00 per box. I got one box of 8 in shiny, one box of 8 in matte and then the clearer pinker speckled ones were $5 for 4, so I got 2 boxes. That’s it! My plan is to mix them in with the gold and silver, so if you already have lots of neutral ornaments without strong colors in them, you can do something similar. I’d probably pick only one, either the rose gold or the aqua (either would work with neutral golds and silvers) this year and then next year you can add the other in… 🙂

    I share your sentiments on the softer color palette. There is something very soothing about gold/rose gold and your vignette feels very sophisticated. My husband loves the traditional colors so I always have one table with his favorites. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Instagram post 2189446347550348140_231271655 So, last year I did this! I actually went with a pink tree!! I just had to. I saw several shops that had pink trees and they were calling my name. I just had to have one. At one point I was thinking of going just green and white for the season, but no, I needed to add some cheery color and rosy pink it was! How do I follow up a palette like that this year?⁣ Any suggestions?
Instagram post 2187883518064038744_231271655 There are some people who are really masters at seasonal decorating and my friend Angie @angieswreathsandmore is one of those people.
