When you think of the colors of Christmas, what comes to mind? You might immediately envision the traditional shades of red and green, but the holiday color palette has far more variety than that!
For 2022, Christmas colors and trends are all about having fun and getting creative with seasonal spirit. And even though pine tree green and holly berry red will never go out of style, you can choose from an entire rainbow of colors for decorating your holiday home.
Trending Christmas Colors: 2022
So, what’s going to be in style for Christmas this year? You can’t go wrong with any shade of holiday joy, but here are a few fun colors that will be particularly popular in 2022.
Navy & Sage Green
The chic, modern farmhouse style is proving to be much more than a passing trend, instead of cementing itself as a much-loved look that will likely be around for quite some time. So, it only makes sense that we are seeing the style show up during the holiday season as well, offering a beautifully-updated take on the classic country aesthetic.
Shades of deep navy and sage green, along with warm whites, are popping up in the holiday homes of style makers everywhere. Consider incorporating these colors with natural elements, such as birch and pine cones, as well as natural wood accents. You can skip the usual Christmas red, or include it as part of this palette – it’s up to you!
Icy Blue, Dove Gray, and Pearl White
For a holiday look that’s elegant yet soft, try a color combination that includes pearl white, dove gray, and a cool, icy blue. Evoking images of a snowy winter day, these colors have an almost neutral quality that allows them to work wonderfully well with your existing decor.
There are also many decorative accents that pair perfectly with these understated shades, including many that can easily stay out well after Christmas is over. Faux fur throws, metallic candle votives, and similarly luxurious – but comfortable – pieces are a beautiful addition.
Emerald Green, Ivory, and Gold
In keeping with the theme of holiday luxury, one of the trending color combinations we’re most excited about is an emerald green tree laden with crystal, ivory, and gold decor. This trend is definitely one for the maximalists at heart because it’s anything but subtle.
The gorgeous green of the tree serves as a lovely backdrop for crystal, bright gold, and shades of ivory, including both ornaments and accents such as ribbon. For a Christmas dinner centerpiece, consider incorporating faux greens with crystal candlesticks, ivory florals, and touches of gold.
Celadon and Mint Greens, with Taupe, Platinum, and White
If your style tends to lean towards fresh and modern, then this is the color combination for you. An unexpected grouping of neutrals (white and taupe), metallic platinum, and minty greens make for a fabulously contemporary look that’s caught our eye for 2022.
Rather than a traditional forest or emerald green, these lighter shades put a unique spin on your holiday color palette. The lightness of white and taupe help ground the eclectic shade of green, while platinum introduces an elegant feel to tie it all together.
Metallics
Technically, “metallics” are a category of finishes, not exactly a color – but we couldn’t leave it off our list! Metallic décor for Christmas isn’t necessarily a new idea, but we’re seeing it show up in new and interesting ways for 2022.
Shades of gold, silver, platinum, and even rose gold is a favorite for anyone looking for stylish Christmas décor. The sparkle and shine of metallics provide a gorgeous contrast against the deep green of a Christmas tree, and the balance of natural elements and glamour makes a statement you’re sure to love.
In 2022, you’ll likely see more metallic Christmas décor than ever, including lots of inspiration for combining gold and silver with rustic materials such as concrete, reclaimed wood, and natural stone. We’re also predicting that metallics and jewel tones will prove to be this year’s match made in holiday heaven. For example, a deep cobalt blue is a stunning contrast against crystal, silver, or gold accents. You can try elevating your tree’s style with cobalt velvet ribbon and an assortment of metallic ornaments.
