Move over, traditional red and green—this year, burgundy Christmas trees are stealing the spotlight. Deep, romantic, and undeniably chic, burgundy has become the color of choice for anyone craving a glamorous yet grounding holiday look. It’s the kind of color that feels like velvet and looks like luxury—perfect for creating that warm, Ralph Lauren–inspired Christmas aesthetic we all secretly want to live inside.
There’s something about burgundy holiday decor that instantly feels timeless. The rich, wine-toned hue adds a cozy sophistication to your space—whether paired with gold for a regal glow, champagne for old-money charm, or forest green for that English countryside nostalgia. Think vintage ornaments, layered ribbon, mercury glass, and touches of velvet—textures that whisper elegance rather than shout festivity.
If you’re craving a Christmas tree that feels both elevated and comforting, these burgundy Christmas tree decorating ideas will show you exactly how to create a look that’s moody, magical, and effortlessly glamorous. From modern minimalist trees accented with matte burgundy ornaments to full-on luxury looks dripping in gold and ribbon, there’s inspiration here for every style.
✨ How to Style a Burgundy Christmas Tree
If you’re ready to bring that deep, romantic burgundy magic into your home this holiday season, here are a few styling tips to help you create a tree that feels elevated, elegant, and uniquely yours.
1. Choose Your Color Pairing
Burgundy is incredibly versatile. For a classic and luxurious look, pair it with gold, champagne, and deep green. For something softer and more romantic, mix in blush, mauve, or rose gold. And if you love a modern twist, try black, cream, or even a hint of navy for that moody, editorial vibe.
2. Layer in Texture
To make your tree feel truly rich and dimensional, play with textures—velvet ribbons, satin ornaments, mercury glass baubles, and matte finishes. The key is mixing shiny with soft, old with new. Burgundy comes alive when surrounded by a mix of metallics and plush fabrics that catch the light.
3. Go for Velvet (Always)
If there’s one texture that embodies burgundy holiday elegance, it’s velvet. Wrap your tree in cascading velvet ribbons, add velvet poinsettias, or tie mini bows on the branches. It’s a subtle touch that immediately elevates the entire look and makes your tree feel designer-level.
4. Play with Lighting
The warmth of your lighting makes all the difference. Opt for soft white or champagne-toned lights rather than bright cool ones—this enhances the richness of burgundy and creates that cozy, glowing, Ralph Lauren Christmas feel. If you love extra sparkle, layer in a few twinkle lights for an enchanting finish.
5. Don’t Forget the Base
Ground your tree with a beautiful tree skirt or woven basket base that complements your palette. A faux fur tree skirt or a rich velvet wrap in burgundy or gold ties the entire look together and gives that final touch of refinement.
