Gold is a classic choice for Christmas decor that instantly adds a bit of elegance and warmth to any space. I’ve always found that gold accents create a festive atmosphere that feels rich and inviting but never over the top.
Here are some ideas I’ve gathered to help you bring a glam gold look to your holiday decorations. If you want your holiday decor to feel stylish and luxurious, gold is a simple way to get there.
From ribbons to ornaments, gold elements blend with so many styles and make your home feel bright and special for the season. I’ll walk you through ideas that make decorating easy and—hopefully—pretty fun.
1. Gold Velvet Tree Skirt for Elegant Base Layer
I go for a gold velvet tree skirt to give my holiday décor a soft, elegant touch. The plush texture makes a warm base for the tree and feels cozy underfoot.
2. Metallic Gold Ribbon Garland with Glitter Accents
Metallic gold ribbon garland adds shine without looking gaudy. The glitter bits catch the light just enough for a gentle sparkle. I like wrapping it around banisters or draping it along the mantel for a quick, elegant upgrade.
3. Gold Leaf Ornaments in Various Shapes
Gold leaf ornaments in different shapes—circles, stars, leaves—bring a little variety to the tree. The gold leaf catches the light in a way that feels simple and elegant.
4. Antique Gold Mercury Glass Baubles
Antique gold mercury glass baubles have this classic Christmas look I can’t get enough of. Their soft shine gives off a vintage charm that’s never too bold. I use them on trees or in a mixed centerpiece.
5. Crystal Gold Tinsel for Sparkling Effect
Crystal gold tinsel adds a subtle sparkle to my decor. It catches the light and brightens the whole room without taking over. I find it blends well with gold ornaments and adds a refined shine to the tree.
6. Gold Beaded Garland Draped on Mantel
Gold beaded garland on the mantel is an easy win. The beads catch the light and make the space feel festive. I usually drape it loosely for a relaxed look.
7. Gold Spray-Painted Pinecones for Natural Touch
Gold spray-painted pinecones add a natural but still elegant feel. The soft gold glow works in vases, on mantels, or just scattered on tables.
8. Gold and Ivory Floral Christmas Wreath
I reach for gold and ivory floral wreaths when I want something simply elegant. Glittery gold leaves and soft ivory flowers mix for a balanced look that’s not too much. These wreaths look great on any door or wall.
9. Gold Candle Holders with White Candles
Gold candle holders with white candles pull off that simple, elegant look. The gold brings warmth, the white keeps things crisp. I use them in all sorts of holiday setups for a little touch of luxury.
10. Gold Mesh Bow Tree Topper
A gold mesh bow as a tree topper gives just the right amount of shine. The mesh adds texture and lets light through, making the tree feel a bit lighter. It’s easy to put on and stays put at the top.
11. Gold Glittered Mini Christmas Trees
Gold glittered mini Christmas trees add sparkle without hogging the spotlight. I set them on tabletops, shelves, or the mantel. They’re small, festive, and fit in with just about anything else you’ve got out.
12. Gold-Hued Fairy Lights for Warm Glow
Gold fairy lights give a soft, cozy glow to holiday spaces. The warm tones make a room feel inviting without being glaring. I like the battery-powered or LED ones since you can put them anywhere. Twisting them through garlands or around trees gives a little extra shine.
13. Gold Sequin Throw Pillows for Sofas
Gold sequin throw pillows add just enough sparkle to the sofa. They catch the light but don’t feel too bright. I toss them in with the rest of the holiday decor for a festive, elegant touch.
14. Gold Stenciled Festive Table Runner
A gold stenciled table runner brings a bit of shine to the holiday table. The patterns give it a festive look without being too loud. Works equally well on a plain or already decorated table.
15. Gold-Edged Charger Plates for Holiday Dining
Gold-edged charger plates add a simple, elegant frame to each dinner plate. I use them for Christmas dinners or really any festive gathering. They bring a little something extra to the table without trying too hard.
16. Gold Acorn Ornaments with Gloss Finish
I like gold acorn ornaments for the way their gloss finish adds a simple shine. Honestly, they bring this natural, elegant touch to a Christmas tree that feels just right.
You can pair these ornaments with almost any decor style—farmhouse, modern, something in between. They’re small, sure, but they really catch the light and add a quiet sparkle to the branches.
