As Christmas approaches and decorating trends lean towards a more personalized style, many people are looking for ways to create a truly unique tree this festive season. Brooklyn Beckham has shared a clever trick to achieve 16 different decoration styles using just one key item: app-controlled Christmas lights.
The designer showcased his modern Christmas tree idea on Instagram. At first glance, his tree seems straightforward: it features vibrant, rainbow lights, paired with opaque white ornaments and a silver star.
The look is fun, contemporary, and almost has a disco-like vibe – perfect for a lively holiday gathering. However, his Instagram reel demonstrates the lights' true potential. Because they are controlled via an app, he can generate a multitude of lighting designs to suit the mood of any evening during the festivities.

This brilliant smart home solution perfectly captures the current Christmas decor trends. Primarily, it offers unlimited personalization.
Megan Slack, Head of Celebrity Style at Homes & Gardens, observes: 'Over the past two years or so, we've seen a shift away from Christmas decorating for guests towards decorating for oneself. We've seen Christmas trees in a huge range of colors appear across celebrity homes. Brooklyn Beckham's idea takes the shift to the next level. Rather than offering only one way to personalize, it allows him to repersonalize every day.'
Fortunately, Beckham's Christmas decor idea is easy to replicate in any space this winter. You only need three components: app-controlled Christmas lights, white ornaments, and a silver star.
Beckham endorses the Twinkly brand lights available at Amazon. While these lights provide endless options for personalization throughout the holiday season, they are generally more expensive than standard lights. For a more budget-friendly approach, you could select a remote-controlled variety (like these, also from Amazon), though this will offer fewer color combinations.
For your Christmas ornaments and decorations, choose neutral items to ensure the lights themselves are the star of the show. Beckham's choice of white opaque ornaments creates a modern, primary-colored appearance, but a similar effect can be achieved with clear, silver, or gold ornaments, depending on your desired look for the festive display.
This is a fantastic budget idea because if you decide the color of your ornaments clashes with the current light setting, you simply change the light color. A simple topper, such as Beckham's star, completes the seasonal look.
As innovations in home technology continue to grow, so do the possibilities for your Christmas decor. Brooklyn Beckham's twinkly lights are just the beginning of what you can do to make your holiday season truly bright and personal.
