There’s a warmth and sophistication in the air this Christmas season — and it’s all thanks to one richly elegant shade: burgundy. Steeped in tradition yet utterly modern, the burgundy trend is enjoying a glorious revival in holiday décor. As one of 2025’s standout Christmas colours, it’s pairing beautifully with gold, warm metals, luxurious textures, and glowing candlelight to create a moody, magical Christmas atmosphere.
Why Burgundy Is the Colour of the Season
-
Depth & Elegance: Unlike classic bright red, burgundy brings depth, richness, and a refined feel — it’s less jolly, more jewel-toned sophistication.
-
Pairing Power: Burgundy works beautifully with gold accents, creating a luxurious and festive combination.
-
It’s Moody (in a Good Way): The moody Christmas palette, which includes deep berries like burgundy alongside forest green and warm metallics, is trending for creating intimate, cozy holiday spaces.
-
Textural Richness: Think velvet ribbons, lush foliage, and sculptural candles — this isn’t flat colour; it’s texture, warmth, and story.
Bringing Christmas to Life with a Pop of Burgundy
You don’t need to overhaul your entire décor to embrace this trend. A well-placed pop of burgundy can completely transform the feel of your festive space. Here are some easy, high-impact ways to do just that:
-
Candles That Command Attention
-
Picture this: a pair of gold candlestick holders holding deep burgundy taper candles, flickering gently on your mantel or dining table. This instantly elevates any room — the gold reflects light, the burgundy adds richness. Glow Up My Home
-
Or layer in the St Eval Figgy Pudding Pillar Candle – Gold Half-Dipped, which brings in that festive fig-and-spice fragrance and a splash of metallic sheen. This candle, from your Christmas Collection, makes a beautiful focal point for tablescapes or mantelpieces.
-
-
Luxurious Ribbons & Greenery
-
Run burgundy velvet ribbon through your garlands or weave it around your Christmas tree. The texture feels plush, and paired with deeper greens or warm metallics, it offers a cohesive, elegant look.
-
Add oversized velvet bows in burgundy to wreaths, stair rails, or gift wrap — a simple styling element that feels very “on trend.”
-
-
Deep-Coloured Ornaments & Natural Accents
-
Use burgundy baubles, berries, or poinsettias on your tree to bring rich colour without the garish overwhelm.
-
Then balance them with gold baubles, metallic touches, or a few clear glass ornaments for shine and reflection.
-
-
Table Styling with Candlelight
-
A dinner table dressed for Christmas feels instantly elevated when you introduce burgundy taper candles in elegant gold holders, paired with metallic chargers, linen runners, and crystal glassware.
-
The glow from the candlelight bounces off gold surfaces, creating a warm, intimate ambience.
-

Decorating Tips & Inspiration
-
Start Small: If you're experimenting with burgundy for the first time, begin with a couple of candles on your mantel or dining table.
-
Layer Textures: Velvet ribbons, glass baubles, and plush candle wax all contribute to a rich, layered look.
-
Mix Metals Thoughtfully: Use gold or warm brass accents to complement burgundy rather than clash — they reflect candlelight and elevate the richness.
