According to the singing snowman in Rudolph, there is no color palette more appropriate for the holiday season than silver and gold. However, after seeing Victoria Beckham‘s Christmas tree, we have to disagree.
The fashion designer took to Instagram to share her and her husband, David’s, stunning Christmas tree idea. It’s lit up with bronze and yellow, presenting a new and elevated take on metallics.

It’s a beautiful example of how metallics can be used innovatively in a non-cliché way. Let’s take a look.
The look is not limited just to Victoria’s tree; it is poised to become a huge Christmas decorating trend for the coming year. Joanna Formby, gifting and decorating expert at Tiger Feet, states: ‘Instead of using the more traditional gold and silver, this trend is all about elevated metallics, in softer tones of bronze, champagne gold and copper. These warmer hues bring a feel of understated luxury to the festive season.’
