Brooke Shields's Stunningly Simple Christmas Tree Embraces The Metallic Color Palette Dominating 2025 Decorating Trends – It's Replete With Glittery Berries, White Lights, and Seasonal Whimsy
Silver and white transform the model's Christmas tree into a winter wonderland – here's how to recreate her striking yet accessible look
When it comes to Christmas decor, the word 'festive' tends to be synonymous with 'maximalist.' The most celebratory trees are usually cloaked in color, bathed in light, and drenched in tinsel. Subtle metallics subvert this maxim.
There is no better example than Brooke Shields' Christmas tree idea. She took to Instagram to share a selfie from the traditional-meets-modern living room in her West Village townhouse, and we were instantly enthralled by her silver and white design.
Brooke's evergreen features glitter-covered holly berries, white figurine ornaments (these adorable fluffy polar bear baubles from Amazon are a great example), and a gold star topper. White lights make the entire design sparkle.
At Homes & Gardens, we love everything about this tree. Her take on Christmas decor is pared-back but festive, and the decor is versatile enough to be used throughout the living room all year round. Let's take a look.

Apparently, it isn't just Brooke and us who loves a metallic Christmas color scheme. According to experts, it's emerging as one of the biggest decor trends for the 2025 holidays. This look is especially appealing to those who prioritize sustainable decorating.
Magdalena Gierasinska, Head of Product and Displays at Barker and Stonehouse explains: 'Gold and silver are synonymous with the festive period, yet they offer a timeless elegance that suits any theme year-round. Try positioning metallic accents where they can catch natural light or the warm glow of a fireplace, creating a sparkling effect that enhances your space’s festive appeal. Whether you use these metals in small ornaments, picture frames, or even dishware, they add a refined shine that instantly elevates the room’s ambience.'
