Perfect for a children's or guest room, a mini pink Christmas tree is a small but impactful way to decorate for the holiday season without too much commitment or elbow grease. The bright color works great for an already colorful room where traditional green might be too dark. Add a topper and leave the rest of the pink tree bare to the color make a statement.

While red poinsettias are a holiday classic, they also come in shades of pink and offer more than just table decor. Use different shades of the pink plants to decorate your mantel or around your tree. If you have a non-working fireplace, place an abundance of poinsettias at varying heights inside. Attach paper poinsettias to your garland or Christmas tree to extend the theme.

While pink Christmas decor is typically considered bold, you don't need much of the powerful color to make it shine.

Nearly neutral, soft pink pairs well with white and cream for a playful Christmas theme. Trim your tree with a mix of white and light-pink bows and ornaments, using felt or velvet when possible for another layer of coziness. In a bedroom, use a blush comforter and surround the tree with matching pillows or stuffed animals.

Holiday centerpieces don't always need to include green garland or red poinsettias. For a more serene look, start with a white or cream table runner and fill a variety of gold vases with light pink roses. Finish the tablescape with other gold accents like tea light candle holders.
