It is no surprise that the self-proclaimed King of Christmas has created a holiday setting that is truly worthy of a picture postcard, designed to impress for years to come.

Michael Bublé, famous for his many modern holiday classics, may have unintentionally set a high expectation that his festive decorations would be as iconic as his songs – and, naturally, he has delivered. What is his seasonal secret? A color scheme of red, white, and green – a truly timeless trio showcased best on his Christmas tree.

Shop the look

The colors red, green, white, and silver have influenced December decorating for centuries, but their ability to evolve is the key to their longevity. The countless variations of these tones mean they can appear both traditional and contemporary, depending entirely on the exact shade chosen.

For an aesthetic that will make a modern home feel festive this year, Rachel Stringer, a real estate agent and design expert at Raleigh Realty, suggests a muted twist on Bublé and Lopilato's palette.

'Color schemes evolve, but the classics endure. Red and green have been staples forever, but playing with deeper shades or muted tones can modernize the look,' she says.

'One family I worked with used deep burgundy accents with gold, which gave their traditional decor a fresh feel while still feeling cozy. For others, sticking with monochrome palettes or neutrals creates a calmer atmosphere, especially if they want their holiday setup to blend seamlessly with their usual decor.'

Bublé and Lopilato have consistently used a green, red, white, and silver palette across their Christmas decor; however, adopting their beautiful seasonal style does not require dressing up our entire mantelpiece or sofa. Following their festive lead is entirely possible with just a tree, regardless of its size.

'Some traditions in holiday decorating seem to stick no matter how trends shift. A tree is a centerpiece for most homes, but it’s not just about putting one up – it’s about how it’s dressed,' Stringer says.

'A well-decorated tree with a cohesive theme, like soft metallic ornaments mixed with touches of nature, creates an understated yet elegant feel. Adding dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks not only looks great but smells amazing, too. Families I’ve worked with have told me they loved this idea because it brought a sense of tradition into their new homes without feeling overdone.'
