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.

Recreate Brooke's Look at Home

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.'


The best part of the Christmas design put forward by Brooke Shields is that no matter the trends, it will always be chic and versatile. Why not test it out this year?
