9 Navy Blue Christmas Decor Ideas to Elevate Your Holiday Home
I love a good non-traditional Christmas color scheme, but there is also something hella comforting about navy and green, especially the plaid.
In fact, I just bought a dress TO.DAY. that is the simple green and blue plaid that I love for family photos.
You can use navy blue in many ways to create a beautiful Christmas look in your home. From tree ornaments to table settings, there are lots of options. Navy pairs well with traditional holiday colors like red and gold for a timeless feel.
Here are some of my favorite ideas to incorporate it into your own holiday decor.
Velvet Navy Blue Tree Skirt
Navy pairs beautifully with many ornament styles. It works well with traditional red and gold decorations, as well as more modern silver and white themes.
The soft texture of velvet adds warmth and coziness to your holiday setup.
You can find these tree skirts in various sizes to fit different tree heights. Make sure to measure your tree stand before purchasing to get the right fit. Ask me how I know.
Gold and Navy Blue Ornaments
Ain’t nothin’ more classy than navy and gold, ya know? (Said in my strongest southern accent)
Look for navy ornaments in different textures like velvet or glass. Mix in some patterned ones too, like navy with gold stripes.
You can even make some DIY ornaments by painting plain ones in these colors.
Finish off with gold or navy ribbon as garland. Or use both colors and layer them for a fancier look. A gold tree topper will tie it all together nicely.
Navy Blue Ribbon
Speaking of ribbon, I’ll never forget the year that I called my friend Chelsea in a tizzy because I could NOT figure out how to do ribbon a tree and forced her to walk me through it and made her send me every tutorial she has on her own site.
I’ve become a bit more confident through the years, but it still doesn’t come natural to me.
You can use this ribbon on trees, wreaths or even your presents!
Navy Blue Stockings
Choose stockings with different textures to create visual interest. Velvet, knit, and quilted options work well. Mix and match patterns like stripes or snowflakes for added flair or fanciness.
Navy stockings work well in both modern and traditional decor schemes because it’s timeless which is why I love it so much.
Plaid Navy and Green Tablecloth
I have already stated my love for a good navy and green plaid.
A plaid navy and green tablecloth can bring a cozy, festive feel to your Christmas dining table.
The combination of navy blue and green creates a rich, elegant look even if you’re not a rich, elegant folk. It’s a great alternative to the usual red and green Christmas colors.
Navy Throw Pillows
I love a good throw pillow, but more specifically I love good throw pillow covers.
They’re a way more space saving way to change out your decor for the seasons, but the good thing is if you use navy throw pillows, you won’t have to necessarily get rid of them since they’re not “Christmas” technically; it’s just a good rich color!
Classic Navy Blue Nutcracker Figurines
Charlotte and I go to The Nutcracker ballet every year and it’s one of my favorite things we do.
So nutcrackers have a special place in my heart.
Nutcrackers big and small are welcome! I actually just bought these amazing giant pink nutcrackers and I love them so much.
Specifically navy nutcrackers pair well with gold accents. You can find navy nutcrackers in various styles.
Gorgeous Navy Gift Wrap
Look for solid navy wrapping paper or patterns with navy as the main color. Stripes, polka dots, or little things like snowflakes can add interest without being too busy.
Christmas Village with a Touch of Navy
Picture a charming Christmas village on your mantel or side table. Now imagine adding a splash of navy blue to give it a fresh twist.
Take on a lil’ DIY project and paint a few! Spray paint projects for the win.
Navy blue is such a versatile and sophisticated color that can elevate your holiday decor in countless ways.
The best part? Many of these ideas can easily transition beyond the holiday season, making your decor feel special yet practical. Try out a few of these navy-inspired ideas and watch your holiday home come to life with elegance and style!
