Move over, red and green. Burgundy Christmas trees are still stealing the spotlight in 2026, and honestly? I don't see them going anywhere. Deep, romantic and undeniably chic, burgundy feels like velvet and looks like luxury. It's the color for anyone craving that warm, Ralph Lauren-inspired Christmas we all secretly want to live inside.
What I love most is how versatile it is. Pair burgundy with gold for a regal glow, champagne for old-money charm, forest green for English countryside nostalgia, or blush for something softer and more romantic. Layer in velvet ribbon, mercury glass and vintage ornaments, and your tree whispers elegance instead of shouting festive.
Below you'll find 30+ burgundy Christmas tree ideas, from minimal monochrome trees to full-on luxury looks dripping in bows. I've also included my favorite finds so you can shop each look, plus answers to the questions I get asked most.
✨ 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.

Burgundy Christmas FAQ
What colors go with a burgundy Christmas tree?
Gold is the classic pairing and the most luxurious. Champagne and cream feel soft and old-money, silver feels crisp and glamorous, and forest green gives you a traditional Ralph Lauren look. For something unexpected, try blush pink, black or navy.
Is burgundy Christmas decor still in style for 2026?
Yes. Burgundy has moved from trend to modern classic. It works with both traditional and neutral homes, and it reads more sophisticated than bright red, which is why designers keep coming back to it.
How much ribbon do I need for a 7-foot Christmas tree?
For cascading ribbon, plan on about three to four 10-yard rolls of 2.5- to 4-inch ribbon. For bows, figure roughly one yard of ribbon per bow, and most 7-foot trees look full with 15 to 25 bows. Wired ribbon holds its shape best.
What color lights look best with burgundy?
Warm white. Warm white or champagne-toned lights deepen burgundy and make velvet glow. Cool white lights can make burgundy look flat or slightly purple.
How do I make a burgundy Christmas tree look expensive?
Stick to two or three colors, use velvet or satin ribbon instead of thin craft ribbon, and mix ornament sizes. Add a statement topper, fluff every branch, and finish with a tree collar or faux fur skirt. A full tree with fewer, larger pieces almost always looks more expensive than a sparse tree with lots of small ones.
Can I do a burgundy tree on a white flocked tree?
Absolutely. Burgundy against white flocking is one of the most striking combinations. Add white or cream ornaments to tie the colors together, and use velvet bows so the burgundy pops.
How do I add burgundy to a neutral Christmas tree without redoing everything?
Start with ribbon. Burgundy velvet bows or ribbon tails instantly warm up a neutral tree. Then add a few burgundy accents like magnolia stems, berry picks or a dozen velvet ornaments, and repeat the color once elsewhere in the room.
