With pink Christmas trees being trendy, I decided to order a 4-foot one for myself for my bedroom. I bought some pink lights to go with it. I will use my extra Kasa smart plug to control the lights.

Just wondering about the decorations. I ordered the decorations in rose gold to give a slight contrast to the pale pink of the tree, instead of doing pure pink decorations on a pink tree. Does anyone think this is a good look?

I think if a guy wants a pink Christmas tree in his bedroom, he can put whatever he likes on it!

Not me. IF I wanted subtle contrast I would go with white, if I wanted something dramatic I would go with green as it is opposite pink on the color wheel. That said I would not go the green route.

Now as for my comment, it is your tree, your look and why ask what anyone else thinks? None of us understand your "love of all things pink" like you do, so how could we possibly be helpful?

Why does our opinion matter?
YOU think it is a good look; that should be enough.
I am surprised at your constant need for positive reinforcement...

I just think different shades of pink is a good contrast. The tree and lights are a cool shade of pink, while the rose gold ornaments are a warm shade of pink. This keeps everything within the pink family while having a bit of contrast between the shades.

It sounds good although I would have to actually see it to judge.

My pink tree is a couple years old now. The ornaments are generally mint green with some gold/clear/white thrown in. Mint green is hard to find so I had to make some.

Rose gold on pink sounds lovely.
You could change it up another year, maybe using all black ornaments, or black and white, or multiple shades of pink, or some other combination.

I just got a white tree with white lights, but also got multicolor light strands to change it up. I plan to buy single color strands after Christmas, so we can have a blue or purple or green tree in the future.

Send us some photos of the tree?
What is your wall paint color? Bedding? Other decor?

That would help..

So once again, why ask? It is your tree, your home and you think it looks great. Honestly, I don't understand why if you already know you like it, why anyone else opinion matters. We don't have to live with it and you do.

If I asked people what they thought of my colors I am sure I would be shot down a million times and I don't care, I love it. For example, currently I have violet walls in my kitchen. My floors are brownish gray and I have dark brown cabinets and brown, gray and beige granite. I love color and other than ceilings have no white in my home. People that have seen it either love it or hate it and if they don't like it, they know me well enough to know that I am not at all insulted if they don't care for it. I have been told I am brave for some of my choices. Over the years, my kitchens in different homes have been tangerine, apple red, a quiet neon green, cantaloupe and violet.

If you like it, that is all that is important.
