Christmas Colour Themes

It’s that time of year again to dig out the tree and those boxes of decorations which have been stored away since January because Christmas is nearly upon us! Homes across Ireland will become awash with colour from the various trees, baubles, lights and décor that adorn households.

Many homeowners decide to go with a specific colour theme for their Christmas décor. Themes such as a festive combination of red and green, or metallic colours like gold and silver, are always popular at this time of year, or perhaps you prefer a modern alternative like blue or navy.

Here, we take a look at some of the most captivating colour themes for styling your home for Christmas.


Blue/Navy Christmas Themes

Blue is one of those colours that seems to work in almost any shade and it can be very effective for adding warmth and richness to your home at Christmas time. Navy is a fantastic shade for capturing this sense of wintertime warmth, as seen in this elegant Harlow 2.5 velvet sofa which is available in a 2 seater format too. If styling your home in blue this Christmas, try combining a few shades – the contrast of navy and sky blue, for example, can capture a wonderfully festive mood in a non-traditional fashion; we have this gorgeous Origami Royal Blue cushion that will add another shade plus contrasting texture. The presence of blue baubles on a green tree also creates a very stylish combination that’s well worth trying, especially in baby blue shades of varying depths. If looking for a secondary colour to complement a mainly blue or navy living space, silver is an ideal choice. Silver and metallic accessories such as candelabras and mirrors would look magnificent when combined with blue; even more so if there is a festive slant like a wreath on such features - we love the Navan mirror in our collection.

Red & Green Themes @ Christmas

If you prefer to stick to a more traditional festive colour theme, then green and red is for you! The presence of trees and wreaths means that green will always be seen as a Christmassy colour, just like the red of Santa’s clothing and Rudolf’s nose. When these two colours are combined, they create a brilliantly warm and welcoming space, perfectly capturing the festive vibe of this time of year. It’s a look that can be created by red decorations on a tree, or red blankets and cushions in a room with green walls and furnishings - what’s not to love about this gorgeous Bijoux velvet chair with its beautiful green hue! Indeed, wreaths with berries include both colours in the one accessory. Whatever way you choose to mix red and green, you’re sure to end up with a room that has Christmas splashed all over it!

White & Silver Christmas Themes

Some might shy away from white for their Christmas décor, believing it to be too plain for this time of year. White is the quintessential winter colour, though, and with its understated elegance, it’s one that can match well with any other colour choice, giving it an excellent versatility. You can create a stunning space when mixing white furniture (such as this Panama dining table) with silver embellishments like tableware and mirror frames, adding greater dimension to the room and layered depth to the overall colour theme. White is one of those reliable colour options that, whatever way you choose to present it, is bound to turn your home into a winter wonderland! The Montreaux range of dining tables is another choice great for this time of year due to its colour and how it extends for visiting guests!

Gold Christmas Themes

Gold Christmas Themes

The metallic allure, warm undertones and gleaming sheen of gold makes it a brilliant choice for a Christmas colour theme and it matches superbly with green, making gold decorations ideally suited for your tree. It is a colour that is destined to stand out and this El Sol Gold Mirror from our collection is a stand out piece that would make a statement year round on a  feature wall. A gold-coloured theme works wonderfully either in subtle accents dotted throughout a living space or as a statement colour featured heavily on your wallpaper, fireplace and tree; we have a lovely selection of gold throws (the beautiful Halo Antique throw and gold accented cushions (the Lana cushion) too!

Brown & Green Themes @ Christmas

Green and brown are two colours which naturally fit together and they certainly combine to great impact for Christmas décor. As two earth tones, they give a very natural blend to make a living space look genuine and welcoming. It’s quite likely that there’s plenty of brown in your home from furniture such as leather armchairs, footstools and TV units, so the addition of a tree instantly gives the space a wonderful colour combination. How classy and timeless is this Gianni Butterscotch leather armchair or wouldn’t the Relax chair and footstool make a wonderful gift this Christmas? Brown decorations on a Christmas tree also achieve an effect that’s understated yet classy.
