Red and Blue Christmas Tree in the Dining Room
Hello friends! So, have you put up your Christmas tree yet? Well, if you’re looking for inspiration, I think I can help you out. Today, I’m joining a group of talented bloggers for a Festive and Fun Christmas Tree Blog Hop hosted by Stacy of Bricks n’ Blooms. For my contribution, I’m sharing my red and blue Christmas tree in the dining room!

Red and Blue Christmas Tree:
Before I get started, I wanted to welcome those of you arriving from My Wee Abode. Didn’t you love Julie’s frosty minty Christmas trees?!

Red and Blue Christmas Tree in the Dining Room:
For the first time ever, I decided to decorate a Christmas tree in my dining room! Even though I’ve decorated my dining room each season, this is our first tree since we repainted the room!
Since my dining room walls are navy (Sherwin Williams – Naval), I carried the navy blue over to the Christmas tree.
When I shared my Christmas table setting the other day, I only gave a glimpse of my partially decorated Christmas tree in the corner. Well, now the tree is fully decorated and ready to be featured!
As you can see, I decorated my tablescape with navy blue, plaid and splashes of red. For the Christmas tree, I did the same.
Since I had some leftover plaid ribbon, I added that to the tree and then decorated with red and navy blue ornaments.
Red Bows on the Table and Christmas Tree:
On each place setting, I tied a red bow around some fresh greenery…
So, it only made sense to feature some red bows on the red and blue Christmas tree!
And what better place for a red bow than on top of the Christmas tree! Not only do I love the simplicity of a simple red velvet bow but I absolutely love the way the red pops against the navy blue walls!
Funny story on the red bow…
When I started decorating the Christmas tree, I only had this navy blue plaid ribbon. At that point, I didn’t have a plan for the Christmas tree topper but thought a bow might be nice. So, I made a bow from the navy plaid but it didn’t stand out enough against the navy walls.
Like most of us, I want to limit my trips to the store these days so I tried to make due with what I had. As I rummaged through my stash in the basement, I thought to myself, “If I only had some red velvet ribbon”. Well, I kid you not, I lifted up a stack of tablecloths and there was a roll of red velvet ribbon!!!
After adding the red velvet ribbon to the top of the tree, I sprinkled red ornaments and small red ribbons throughout the tree. This gave a nice balance of red and blue color to the Christmas tree.
As you can see, my collection of blue and white china mixes in perfectly with my red and blue Christmas tree decorations.
And the addition of the Christmas tree has given a whole new look to my dining room!
Though, I’m not the only one who appreciates the Christmas tree…
Apparently, Rosie has been enjoying my tree as well!
Thanks for stopping by to see my red and blue dining room Christmas tree. Hopefully, I’ve inspired you to use your room colors as inspiration for your tree! This was just one of three trees I’ve decorated in blue. To see them all, read – Pretty Blue Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas.

Beautiful tree! I love that blue plaid ribbon you chose.
Thanks Jennifer! I’m happy with the way it worked with my navy walls. Great hopping with you!
This was all so lovely! That beautiful blue plaid ribbon and your sweet fur babies face were my favorite. So happy to be sharing with you today on the tour.
Rachel
Thanks so much, Rachel! My dog, Rosie hasn’t made an appearance on the blog in awhile so I figured it was time! Great to hop with you too!
What a beautiful tree!!
Thanks so much Joanne! Enjoy your weekend!
I love Rosie!! Your dining room wall color is the perfect backdrop for all your Christmas decor!! It makes me wish I had a dining room to decorate!!
Thanks Jennifer! We really should use that room more often. Thanks for stopping by – great hopping with you!
Your red and blue Christmas tree is perfect for your navy dining room, Shelley. Isn’t it awesome when we find a treasure like red ribbon… especially when we ‘need’ it? LOL! Pinned (and I fixed the spelling of your name on my blog… I can never remember whether you use an ‘ey’ or just a ‘y’ on the end.) Hehe.
Thanks so much, Julie! Yes, that red ribbon was such a lucky find! Don’t worry about the spelling…it happens to me all the time. Great hopping with you again!
Shelley I’m totally in luv with your navy theme it’s so rich looking. Happy holidays🎄🎄 Pinned.
Thanks Ann! I have a feeling I’ll be putting a tree in the dining room every year. It makes me want to go in there more! Best wishes for a wonderful holiday!
Shelley, your festive tree is such a pretty addition to your charming dining room! Merry Christmas! Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thanks Cecilia! It was fun trying a tree in a new spot. If this pandemic goes on much longer, I’ll have a tree in every room! Merry Christmas to you!
Your tree and entire dining room looks aahhhmazing! I’ve always wanted to have a tree in our dining room but there’s not enough room. Glad you found your red velvet ribbon too. When I say things like that, I still don’t find it. Always love hopping with you. Merry Christmas.
Thanks so much Cindy! I’ve never had a tree in there before but I don’t think this will be the last. Can you believe the ribbon luck I had? I should have bought a lottery ticket that day… Best wishes for a Merry Christmas!
I have so much to say! First of all, Rosie pretty much steals the show. Secondly, you may have my very favorite dining room. It is so beautiful and I just love these colors for CHristmas. Just stunning!
Awe, you’re so sweet Kim. Thanks so much for your kind words. And Rosie loves the attention…
I love your dinning room with the pops of red and blue and your tree is gorgeous!
Thanks so much, Kristin! I think I’ll put a tree in there every year!
Now I want a red and blue Christmas tree with that beautiful plaid ribbon! It’s so beautiful and works so well in your dining room and your styled table!
Thanks so much, Kristin! It was fun playing around in there with new looks! Have a wonderful holiday season!
Love the traditional style of your dining room and your Christmas tree is perfectly decorated for your space. Love the pretty plaid ribbon you used. And Rosie is just too sweet!
Thank you so much, ladies! I had fun coordinating the Christmas tree with the room!
I love your red and blue Christmas tree with the gorgeous tartan check! And of course, Rosie looks delightful too!
Thanks Jayne, I’m glad you like how it turned out. And Rosie says thank you!
Looks beautiful. Love your red and blue tree 🙂
Oh Shelley I just love your tree! The navy plaid and small pop of red is just perfect! I cant believe you found that red velvet ribbon just when you needed it! I pinned your tree you have totally inspired me! Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much, Kelly! Yes, what a find on that ribbon…I should have bought a lottery ticket that day! Have a wonderful holiday season!
Shelley… your dining room looks positively stunning! It is magazine worthy. I so want a navy room in my next house. Thanks for including the color. Have a wonderful week, Shelley.

Wow, I just love this tree in your dining room. It’s so beautiful and festive. Happy Holidays
Thank you Jennifer! It looks like we both like our red bows! Have a wonderful holiday season!
Lucky Rosie gets to bask in the beauty of the glow of your gorgeous tree! I am loving it in the dining room this year and of course I am mad for plaid, so I adore your plaid ribbon and gift wrap! The navy plaid is so perfect! Love your tablescape too.
So fun to hop with you as always!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much Amber! Yes, it was fun to put a tree in the dining room for a change. What else is there to do when we’re home all day? – ha! Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas!
