Here are my favorite Christmas colors to use for my holiday decorating services for homes, corporations, and retail spaces!
All-Red Christmas Colors — Classic Holiday Color Palette
All-red Christmas colors are a bold take on a timeless Christmas color. Using layers of red tones and materials can create a range of moods, from glamour to whimsical Christmas nostalgia.
Christmas Tree & Focal Installations: Our designers build depth with a range of red tones, from crimson and ruby to burgundy hues in glossy, matte, and glitter finishes. Red-on-red florals — including preserved roses, dyed orchids, and velvet hydrangeas — are nestled among ornaments to add movement and volume.
Floral & Textural Layers: We weave in metallic finishes for light reflection, pairing them with botanicals, soft velvet, and glossy ornaments to create looks ranging from sleek and dramatic to romantic.
Retro & Family-Friendly Themes: Our designers infuse all-red looks with nostalgic details — plush reindeer accents, vintage ornament shapes, whimsical touches or glam looks that delight both adults and children. These playful layers create spaces that feel classic yet full of heart.
Corporate & Event Applications: Red-on-red Christmas colors are great for hotels and retail spaces as visual focal points. They create grand looks, from lobby trees in deep ruby tones to product displays accented with sculptured florals and reflective ornaments.
Red and Green Christmas Colors — Timeless Holiday Palette
Red and green remain the cornerstone of Christmas colors. This pairing remains the most recognized and beloved of all Christmas color palettes — timeless and inviting. Our design team reinterprets this classic combination each year with emotion, balance, and artistry.
Christmas Tree & Mantle Styling: Our designers layer lush evergreens — magnolia, fir, and cedar — with rich red accents. Mantles feature cascading garlands detailed with berries, pinecones, botanical sprays and more for dimension and texture.
Tablescapes & Centerpieces: We design tablescapes with evergreen runners intertwined with red roses, hydrangeas, and amaranthus for movement and depth. Gold or brass candleholders introduce warmth, while fine glassware and satin napkins add elegance.
Floral Installations & Garlands: Across arches, doorways, and entry installations, our team uses layered greenery offset by dramatic red florals. Accents of ivory or gold ribbon, or even subtle sparkle, elevate the design while maintaining a natural, grounded feel.
Corporate & Retail Décor: Ideal for hotels, restaurants, and luxury boutiques, red-and-green Christmas palettes bridge tradition with sophistication. A grand display of cedar garlands and red flowers can create a festive mood. Smaller retail displays throughout can bring back memories with a stylish touch.
Modern Christmas Color Palettes for Stylish Holiday Decor
Red, Black, and White Christmas Colors — Modern Holiday Design
Red, black, and white Christmas colors make a dramatic statement. Red adds emotion, white offers balance, and black gives depth and modernity. For the perfect red, black, and white Christmas look, go for deep crimsons, inky matte finishes, softer white accents, and satin ribbons.
How Our Designers Style BLACK AND WHITE Christmas colors
Christmas Tree & Installation Design: A snow-dusted or dark green tree can be the perfect base for a red, black, and white Christmas look. Add in glossy red and black ornaments, matte black ornaments, and sculptural white or glass ornaments with white touches. Florals in deep reds, preserved, or even black died accents create trees that feel bold and lush.
Floral Accents & Arrangements: Using a mix of preserved, natural, and custom-dyed florals, our decorators add texture and depth. Jet-black leaves, ivory branches, or tinted berries bring tension and contrast, while scarlet blooms provide warmth and movement.
Mantles, Garlands & Centerpieces: Across mantles and tables, weave in hand dyed magnolia leaves, red amaranthus, and dyed black foliage. Add black velvet ribbon, silver details, and glass candlelight. This will create a nice contrast between matte and glossy elements for a dramatic look.
Corporate & Retail Environments: For fashion houses, galleries, luxury retail displays, and restaurants, this palette creates immediate visual impact. The red, black, and white Christmas colors feel brand-forward — confident, creative, and commanding. A black-and-white color scheme can also stand alone. It adds timeless style to modern spaces that appreciate subtlety and edge.
Red and White Christmas Colors — Clean & Festive Palette
One of the most fun and elegant Christmas colors is the red-and-white palette. It reminds us of candy canes, frosted berries, and snow-covered details. Red and white Christmas colors mix festive memories with a classy touch. They are perfect for store windows, boutique spaces, holiday events, and luxury homes.
How Our Designers Style Red & White Christmas colors
Tree & Focal Installations: For red and white Christmas colors, start with a classic evergreen or white-flocked tree. Layer in white and red ornaments — from candy cane stripes to glossy spheres. Then add in snowflake picks, crystal icicles, and white floral sprays enhance the wintry effect.
Garlands, Wreaths, Hallways: Weave red barry sprays, striped ribbons, and white or faux snow into your garlands and wreaths. Wreaths may feature candy cane ribbon, white florals, or red berries for that greeting-card charm. At entry points or staircases can include plush accents for a whimsical holiday touch.
Tables & Centerpieces: Create playful table settings with snowflake table runners, red plates, candy accents, frosted branches, snowflake ornaments, and more! Add in mercury glass vases in reds to intensify a warm flow and help the red pop against your white tones.
Retail, Showroom & Branded Spaces: The red-and-white palette shines in store windows and event spaces. Candy cane themes are a fun and festive look for retail spaces, while clusters of red and white decor bring instant cheer throughout a home.
Gold and White Christmas Colors — Elegant Holiday Palette
Gold and white Christmas colors glow with understated opulence. Gold radiates light and luxury, while white softens it with calm and refinement.
Gold and white Christmas colors are stunning in homes. Gold and white is also a fantastic color palette for high-end events and spaces like hotels, restaurants, and galas for a grand look.
How Our Designers Style GOLD & White Christmas colors
Christmas Tree & Installation Design: Combine gold ornaments with mirrored glass, soft white branches, and snowy ornaments. Weave in white florals through branches for balance. You can also use gold ribbons and hand-painted accent pieces for a vintage nod and to get warmth in every angle. The result is a design that feels glowing and ethereal — like candlelight translated into décor.
Tables & Mantles: Tables feature white linens, gold chargers, and crystal stemware, accented with ivory florals and mercury glass votives. Use cascading garlands intertwined with metallic ribbons, gold ornaments, and flickering lights for a romantic mantle.
Floral Details: Blending faux and fresh florals like white amaryllis, cream roses, gold-dusted leaves, and gilded branches is great for texture and depth. These organic forms keep the palette grounded and luxurious.
Corporate & Retail Styling: Gold and white Christmas colors are perfect for gala celebrations, corporate functions, and hotel decorations. They also make for striking retail window diaplsy when combined with ivory florals and metallic pieces.

Gold and Teal Christmas Colors — Luxurious Modern Holiday Decor
Gold and teal Christmas colors combine warmth and coolness for a palette that’s energetic yet refined.
In homes, teal glass ornaments, gold foliage, and candlelight create dynamic movement. In restaurants or event spaces, teal and gold brings a fresh twist on classic holiday glamour. Gold and teal Christmas colors are also great for creative offices, modern brands, or innovative product launches.
Gold & Teal Christmas Colors in Holiday Decor
Christmas Tree Styling: Combine teal glass and velvet ornaments with metallic faux branches, gold ribbons, and gold gilded leaves. The gold accents catch the light, the teal grounds the palette. Use a deep green evergreen tree for the right contrast.
Mantles & Floral Installations: In mantles or suspended installations, mix dyed teal and gold sprays with natural green branches and florals for a dynamic display.
Corporate Events, Pop-ups & Showrooms: For product launches or boutique displays, the gold & teal color story works especially well. It feels contemporary and luxurious — the kind of palette that becomes an immersive brand signature.
Tables: Use teal napkins and chargers paired with gold flatware, candlelight, or metallic touches to create contrast and cohesion.
Brown and Green Christmas Colors — Natural Holiday Palette
Green is one of the most classic Christmas colors, symbolizing life, renewal, and the beauty of nature. When paired with brown tones, woodsy textures, and nostalgic accents like gingerbread and reindeer, it becomes a palette full of comfort.
How We Use These Christmas Colors in Holiday Design
Christmas Tree & Branch Styling: Start with an evergreen tree with gold lights and layer in brown pinecones, acorn clusters, twig sprays, moss, and more. For playful displays, add gingerbread ornaments, antique reindeer figurines, or rustic woodland creatures.
Tables & Centerpieces: Use natural linens, wood chargers, and textured earthenware to support the green-brown color story. Think moss, lush florals in shades of greens, and dark green tableware for a green on green look.
Corporate & Retail Environments: Green and brown Christmas colors are stunning in hotel lobbies, boutique resorts, and cozy restaurants. An entry arch featuring moss, reindeer silhouettes, wooden accents, and glowing lanterns evokes a woodland retreat. Retail windows may feature gingerbread-themed scenes or reindeer silhouettes among evergreen branches to feel seasonal but refined.
Blue, White, and Silver Christmas Colors — Winter-Inspired Decor
Few Christmas colors feel as serene as the blue, white, and silver. White elements brighten and reflect light, while rich blue layered with frosted, glossy, and glittered textures bring depth.
This palette is beautiful for coastal homes, clients seeking modern holiday looks, winter weddings, modern hotels, and luxury spas. It creates calm and clarity — perfect for brands that want their holiday decor to feel tranquil yet elegant.
How We Use Blue, white, and Silver Christmas Colors in Designs
Christmas Tree & Centerpiece Design: Use silver sprays, glittered pine branches, mirrored accents, and glass ornaments for an airy look. Add in colors like sapphire, navy, and cerulean blue to create depth. Use floral sprays and frosted foliage to fill gaps in your tree and use clusters of ornaments in different sizes for dimension.
Mantles & Garlands: We drape silver-flecked garlands across mantles, weaving in soft blue-dusted twigs or parlor pine. The contrast with warm candlelight gives depth and softness. Silver garlands with soft blue blooms, berries, or Delft-inspired white ceramic ornament, make for a beautiful mantle.
Tables & Corporate Events: The blue/silver palette reads as polished sophistication — ideal for hotels, spas, or modern corporate lobbies. At events, navy ribbon, silver taper candles, and mirrored or crystal accents bring a sense of glamor without overwhelming.
Retail Windows / Displays: Silver, white, and blue Christmas colors are great for tech-forward brands, luxury spas, and boutiques hotels looking for a crisp winter look.
Pink Christmas Colors — Playful & Contemporary Holiday Style
Pink Christmas colors introduce romance and individuality. From blush to rose gold, this palette feels whimsical yet refined. Pink Christmas colors are fresh, joyful, and full of personality. They’re perfect for beauty brands, boutiques, fashion showrooms, and creative agencies.
For playful pink Christmas decor, think glittered sprays, pearl finished ornaments, and colors ranging from pastels to bright fuchsia. At home, soft pink ornaments, gold accents, and ivory candles create a dreamy, couture-inspired Christmas. In boutique interiors, pink table designs with rose-toned glassware and florals make a photo-worthy statement.
How We Use Pink Christmas Decorations in Holiday Design
Christmas Tree Styling: Go for varying pink Christmas colors, from blush and dusty rose to champagne and accents of red or blue for depth. By mixing matte, shiny, and pearl finishes, we create texture that catches light delicately. Glittered pine sprays and soft tassels accentuate movement and fluidity. Whether you start with a pink tree or an evergreen canvas, the pink color story shines.
Mantles and More: Pink Christmas colors work great in mantels and entryways when paired with neutral or metallic accents. We combine blush sprays, rose-toned florals, and white or champagne textures to let the pink glow without overpowering.
Tables & Centerpieces: Use pink glassware, rose-toned chargers, soft florals, and candlelight in complementary tones. A centerpiece with blush sprays or a small pink-themed tree can tie the look together elegantly.
Coordinated Accents Throughout: Echo the palette in wrapping, accessories, and décor touches. Velvet stockings, blush pillows, pastel garlands, and figurines or candleholders keep the design thread consistent from room to room.
Corporate & Event Applications: Pink Christmas colors offer a refreshing alternative for brands wanting warmth, creativity, and style. Pink Christmas colors are fresh and fun for holiday pop-ups or seasonal branding that’s both festive and fashionable.
Purple Christmas Colors — Dramatic & Luxurious Holiday Decor
Purple Christmas colors convey luxury, creativity, and imagination. Deep plums evoke elegance and mystery, while lilac and lavender bring softness and whimsy.
In homes, we use layers of purple and gold to create drama and mood — perfect for clients who love unique, statement-making design. For events, combining purple florals with crystal or mirrored accents creates an atmosphere of celebration and sophistication.
How We Bring Purple Christmas Colors to Life in Holiday Decor
Purple Christmas Colors Tree Styling: Use plum and violet foliage with lavender or lilac ornaments. Add in metallic like pewter, gold, or brushed silver for a lovely contrast and shimmer. Finally, add in accents like textured glass, satin ribbons, and baubles in purple and even pink tones for a polished look.
Mantles, Wreaths & Suspended Installations: In mantles or arch installations, complement the purple palette with a combination of soft and vibrant florals and delicate candlelight. The result is romantic and moody — a perfect space for cozy moments or evening events.
Tablescapes & Centerpieces: Layer shades of purple in florals and tableware and ground them with neutral linens and metallic flatware. A jewel-toned napkin or glassware piece becomes a focal point against sleeks of white or ivory.
Corporate Environments, Luxury Retail & Events: Purple Christmas Colors express creativity, depth, and distinction. For upscale boutiques, art galleries, hotel lobbies, or gala events, this palette offers visual drama without feeling overpowering.
Frosty Christmas Colors: White and Silver
White and silver are among the most timeless Christmas colors, transforming any space into a winter wonderland.
For residential clients, frosted branches, crystal ornaments, and soft lighting create a serene look. In corporate spaces — especially luxury retail, high-end galleries, and modern office lobbies — this palette conveys refinement and purity.
How Our Designers Use White & Silver in Holiday Design
Christmas Trees & Installations: Our design team creates layered monochromatic designs — mixing matte and mirrored ornaments, glass icicles, and pearl finishes across white or frosted trees. Delicate snowflake picks and soft silver ribbons are draped throughout for airy elegance. The look feels ethereal, luxurious, and endlessly photogenic — perfect for retail windows, hotel lobbies, or private events seeking sophistication.
Tablescapes & Centerpieces: For dining and corporate displays, snowflake table runners with mercury glass votives, silver chargers, and glass candleholders set the mood. Florals can range from dusty miller, to white amaryllis, hydrangeas, and silver-painted foliage for a naturally frosted look. The overall effect feels elegant but organic — as though the outdoors quietly entered the room.
Floral & Decorative Details: Our team integrates preserved and natural botanicals — frosted branches, bleached ruscus, and hand-dyed silver stems to add texture and dimension. These elements catch light softly, creating subtle sparkle without overwhelming the design.
Retail & Corporate Styling: The white and silver palette translates seamlessly into storefront displays and luxury spaces. It’s ideal for brands seeking an atmosphere of clean sophistication. Mercury glass ornaments, mirrored signage, and snowy trees become sculptural elements that invite clients into a dreamlike experience.
