Think of Christmas colours and the first combination that comes to mind is probably the classic red and green, perhaps with a smattering of gold. But while the traditional look will always be a winner, there’s more than one way to deck the halls. The best Christmas colour scheme for your home is one that brings you joy – and complements your existing interior style and palette.
Traditional Christmas colours have stood the test of time for a reason. Red brings to mind the warmth of the season, bright holly berries and, of course, Santa Claus, while green reflects the evergreen plants that stay vibrant through the darkest winter days.
Gold adds a touch of festive sparkle, symbolising light, wealth and the tradition of gift-giving. Together, these shades create a welcoming, celebratory feel.
If your year-round décor is more pared back and minimal, the sights and sounds of the festive season can lead to full-on sensory overload (and leave you itching to take the decorations down on Boxing Day). Instead, retain a sense of calm with a neutral palette of winter whites and creams.
Here, gold baubles add warmth and opulence without overwhelming the space, while the dried twigs make a rustic – yet refined – centrepiece. Using shutters fits the clean aesthetic and lets light filter in all year round.
“When it comes to Christmas table décor I like to keep it as natural looking as possible with lots of touches of greens, creams and whites. Reflective metallics work beautifully with the twinkly glow of candles and fairy lights.”
Suzie Tipple, Interior designer and stylist
Here’s another take on a neutral Christmas colour palette: warm timber, woven textures, fresh greenery and coppery gold.
The wood-slatted wall and large sliding doors give this room a very outdoorsy, Scandinavian feel – all it needs is a real tree and plenty of fairy lights. The heat-retaining honeycomb blind is a practical choice for such a large expanse of glass.
For a fresher alternative to full-on festive red, look to softer, more muted shades. With its plaster-pink walls and characterful, farmhouse-style furniture, this dining room already feels cosy and inviting. The Christmas colour palette of pale gold and burnished copper complements the room rather than competing with it.
The dark grey honeycomb blind makes a deliberate contrast, adding a cooler tone that stops the room from feeling too sweet and sugary.
“The Duette® blinds have added depth and warmth to the room, especially as we’re coming up to winter. They definitely help keep the warmth in!”

You can still embrace Christmas colours if your home décor falls on the cooler end of the spectrum. The trick is to introduce the right accent shades, as illustrated here.
While warm-toned tomato red or scarlet would be too jarring against the dusty blue, colours we think of as ‘cool reds’ – like crimson, raspberry pink and deep cherry – work beautifully. Add the natural texture of the spruce garland and the botanical print of the Roller blind, and the overall effect is traditional yet crisp and fresh. Just like a perfect winter’s day.
Don’t listen to anyone who tells you black isn’t very festive. There are lots of ways to bring the Christmas cheer: dazzling metallics, bright white, jewel-tones shades and traditional Christmas green and red all look stunning against a dark backdrop.
In this moody living room, layering in different textures adds softness. With blush pink already working hard as an accent colour, all the tree needs is a twinkling of fairy lights and a few carefully chosen ornaments.
What are Christmas colours? Red, green and gold will always be classics, but as these rooms show, there are so many more combinations to consider. Whether you’re starting out with a palette of cosy neutrals, cool blues or moody darks, all you need is the right colour scheme and a little extra sparkle.
