This year I'm really looking to make a statement with my Christmas decor, adopting the most on-trend motifs (it's bows, by the way), hosting ideas, and hues. So I'm taking my cue from 2024's color of the year and dreaming of a burgundy Christmas.
You'll have heard us talking much ado about rich, deep, wine reds this year. Decorating with burgundy has really taken the interior world by storm, from the best burgundy paints to burgundy kitchens and everything in between. So it makes perfect sense that it has made its way into Christmas decorating ideas too.
A step away from traditional 'Santa Suit' red, burgundy offers depth, warmth, and a sense of luxury that feels fresh yet still remains timeless. Whether in velvet ribbons, baubles on the tree, or the palette for this year's tablecaping, this Christmas I'm moving away from merry and bright to something more mellow (or Merlot, if you will).
Fresh off the back of the viral unexpected red theory, burgundy has truly stolen the spotlight his fall. This more moody take on red offers a more refined take on traditional Christmas color, pairing beautifully with jewel tones and metallics making it incredibly versatile for decorating with.
We're talking faux foliage for your Christmas wreath ideas, dark berry ornaments on the Christmas tree, and wine-red tableware for your holiday hosting to create a moody yet perfectly festive theme.
Whether your aesthetic leans rustic or contemporary, burgundy Christmas decor is the most on-trend way to style your home this festive season. Here are just a few of our favorite finds to get you started.
