Matching Your Christmas Colour Scheme to Your Interior Design

Christmas is typically the time for people to come and visit, share some drinks, and have a great time in each other’s company. This year, however, it seems like things are likely to be a little bit different – but that’s no reason not to pull out all the stops to get your style in order to prepare for the perfect Christmas.

Here are some tips to get you started.

Establish the Colour Scheme

There are a few different directions you can go in when it comes to colour schemes, especially around Christmas time. There are more minimalistic, classic colours like white and gold – these are perfect for those who want something that’s timeless and stylish. For traditionalists who want their Christmas to feel like part of a Charles Dickens novel, red, green, and gold are essentials. A royal festive feeling can be achieved by cleverly utilising purple and silver. There’s also the option for something super stylish and modern with black, silver, and gold. Metallics are a key element of perfecting your Christmas aesthetic, whether it’s a warm gold, a metallic rose gold colour, or a clean silver hue.

Once your colour scheme is ready to go, it’s time to think about how to incorporate it into your style and your interior design. Let’s think about what the perfect touches are for your preferred aesthetics!

White and Gold

Something luscious like a white faux Christmas tree with gold accessories, warm lights, and a stunning wreath is the perfect interior design setup for the cutting edge minimalists. If your interior design style is ‘less is more’, with neutral colours and few furnishings, then this is the style for you.

Making your own personal style match the looks of your interiors couldn’t be easier. Light, bright, neutral clothing with minimal colours and lightly textured materials are the best counterpart to a white and gold colour palette. In terms of accessories, plain gold jewellery is perfect. Any gemstones should be small and discrete. Diamonds would add the perfect little touches of sparkle that will have you looking right at home alongside your festive home.

Red, Green, and Gold

These are the colours I always associate the most with Christmas. The green of a big Christmas tree and the red and gold of stunning baubles make me hear the bells ringing and jingling for the special day! To add some of the touches of colour around the house, try incorporating some colourful festive lights, or perhaps a little nutcracker soldier to brighten up your mantelpiece.

If you’re into it, wearing an oversized, goofy Christmas jumper is the perfect accoutrement to this colour scheme. If you want to elevate the look above corny Christmaswear, however, accessorising with coloured gemstones is your best route to endless style. Gemstones like emeralds, rubies, garnets, and peridots are the most beautiful way you can make your look as festive and glamorous as possible this year. Pieces like emerald rings are the best way to bring some seasonal sparkle to your style – allowing you to feel as Christmassy as possible.

Gemstones

For all of the interior design styles we’ve discussed, clever utilisation of gemstones is a perfect way to match up your own aesthetic. Wearing amethyst or onyx pairs up wonderfully with the regal aesthetics and super stylish designs we discussed earlier. Gemstones come in all manner of luscious colours that can apply to basically any form of Christmas styles you could possibly want to explore, for traditional design styles adorn some antique jewellery featuring antique gemstones. You can also wear metal colours that suit the style you want, like silver or white gold for something cool-toned and stylish, and yellow and rose gold for that warm, Christmas feeling.

Matching your Christmas colour scheme to your interior design is not as complicated as it might sound. Think of the colours you want, and find some simple clothing that can sit nicely alongside jewellery with those same colours and you’re winning! There’s no need to get stressed but if you feel a bit worried try some of these self-care tips.

Good luck with your style hunting. Which colour scheme do you like best for Christmas?
