If there was ever a time to go big and bold with your decor, it’s at Christmas. Use the same metallic sheen to create a cohesive design, such as this side table that features gilded mirrors, urns, and even a large stag’s head wearing a quirky set of glasses. Elevate the holiday design with a large wreath to make sure you strike the perfect festive design.

As soon as the nights start getting longer and the days colder, I’m ready to break out the Christmas decorations and trim the tree. The idea of warm lights shining in the darkness always produces a cozy glow, and I look forward to bringing a little holiday cheer into our home. I try to switch up my decorations each year to give us something new and exciting to see and get us excited for the holidays, which is why I know you’ll love these metallic Christmas décor ideas as much as I do!
Metallic decorations help reflect light, producing a glimmer and gleam surrounding you as soon as you walk in. If you prefer warm tones, gold and brass infused with white lights perfectly achieve this look. But if you’re more partial to winter white and icy sheens, silver is a wonderful accessory that brings a crisp luster and reminds you of snowy days.
If you’re as excited as I am to start decorating, you won’t be disappointed by these stunning metallic Christmas décor ideas we’ve curated here!
02 of Cheerful Red Ornament Accessories

If you want to incorporate just a few metallic accents to your holiday decorations, you can’t go wrong with using a few extra ornaments and displaying them artistically on a side table. These red and gold baubles are mixed with pinecones and displayed around a wicker vase holding pine boughs and holly berries. The red accents are the perfect bright color for this time of year.
03 of Modern Console Table Christmas Display

Modern Christmas decorations focus on minimalist design and clean lines. This console table is a beautiful example, with a centerpiece filled with gold ornaments and sleek conical trees. The angular reindeer statues add an extra touch of the holiday spirit. I like how this designer included wicker baskets on the lower shelf to help the space feel a bit warmer.
04 of Pine Garland Holiday Decorations

I can’t think of a single space in my home that wouldn’t benefit from adding pine garland during the holidays. We drape it over the piano and the fireplace and trail it up the staircase railing so that we see Christmas decorations everywhere we look. This entryway table is a perfect example of this technique, with an asymmetrical garland and black bow displayed on the mirror. Brass candlesticks, a shiny nutcracker statue, and an earthenware vase filled with pine branches blend old and new to welcome guests as soon as they cross the threshold.
05 of Glamorous Gold Accents

In a bright and airy living room, there’s nothing quite so attractive as using gold accents to add a hint of glamour to a neutral design. Even small accents, such as a garland of bells and a few ornaments on the tree, can go a long way to infusing a space with a sense of luxury. If you really want to make gold a featured accent, add a few reindeer statues to the hearth below your fireplace and watch as your design comes together.
06 of White Living Room With Metallic Accents

I fondly remember many cozy winter days spent reading beside the fireplace while snow drifted outside. With a towering, glowing tree in the corner, is there anything more relaxing? The shades of white with wooden accents blend modern and timeless styles, particularly when paired with carefully placed metallic accessories.
07 of Old-fashioned Christmas Memories

Antique Christmas decorations are my favorite because I love the memories and traditions they remind me of. This classic fireplace mantel is arrayed with a wooden sign filled with sheet music and hung with a flocked wreath, while a vintage window frame adds to the rustic display. Two books rest below brass candlesticks filled with red candles with a miniature metallic rocking horse placed nearby. The scene reminds me of my grandmother’s house and the many happy holidays we spent there during my childhood.
08 of Greenery Galore

I think there’s no such thing as too many Christmas trees, and I’m so glad this homeowner agrees with me. Petite trees in metallic planters are arranged on the lower shelf of this wooden console table while a lush pine bough stretches across the surface above. Candles add flickering warmth to the dark evenings, so I use them copiously throughout winter. A simply decorated tree with a wooden garland and warm glowing lights is placed nearby to infuse the scene with even more greenery.
09 of Rustic Farmhouse Christmas Display

Farmhouse decor wouldn’t be complete without a few distressed vintage pieces as part of the design. This white trunk is the ideal base for the miniature tree and stag sculpture, as well as the antique mirror reflecting the entire display. A matching vintage chair and wooden blanket ladder in the corner nearby enhance the rustic scene.
10 of Treasure Trove of Christmas Decorations

Take advantage of your home’s every empty nook and cranny and fill them with small Christmas accessories. Hang gold bells on your key rack and display a metallic wreath below a shelf filled with a miniature Christmas village. Small accents like these are like little treasures waiting to be discovered around every corner.
11 of Mixing Metals for Dramatic Decor

Adding black accessories is a wonderful way to create a sense of drama in your Christmas decor. The black lattice mirror hung on the wall here matches the two urns placed on either side, which are filled with pine branches, pinecones, and gold metal leaves for a modern look. Glass hurricane lanterns and silver trees prove that nothing is off limits when it comes to mixing metals.
12 of Elegant Christmas Wreath
PHOTO:
Statement wreaths on your front door announce to everyone that Christmas is here. While bright colors and ribbons may be the most attention-grabbing, more subtle designs can produce a more elegant display. Miniature gold bells interspersed with pinecones are perfect for a stylish and modern front door, especially when paired with a gold ribbon for a festive look.
13 of Red and Green Decorations in Brown-toned Living Room

Warm brown and wood tones in this living room are elevated by festive red stockings hanging from the white mantel. Pine garland and a string of gold bells are simple accents that pair brilliantly with the pine tree and red and green candle displayed above. It’s tempting to want to add as many Christmas decorations as possible to every available surface. Still, this design proves that the right accessories go a long way to achieving the perfect overall design.
14 of Traditional Front Entrance Decked for the Holidays
PHOTO:
I adore the look of a black front door surrounded by white trim, as it is such a classic and traditional look. Capitalize on this by decorating for the holidays with green garlands and a matching wreath with a trio of golden bells hung in the center of the craftsman-style door. The stately white columns and portico create an elegant entrance to welcome guests any time of year.
15 of Metallic Christmas Decor Ideas for Your Fireplace

If your fireplace isn’t functional, add an eye-catching feature to help fill the empty space. A mirror propped against the white brick reflects the unique brass candles and white faux fur rug laid across the hearth, where two stacked white boxes add to the decor. The wooden mantel above is gorgeously arrayed with a large flocked pine garland, wooden beads, and golden bells with three white knit stockings hung nearby ready for Santa.
16 of Metallic Dining Room Christmas Decor
PHOTO:
It’s my personal rule that a Christmas tree should be the tallest possible for what the ceiling height allows. This vaulted dining room is a perfect example, with a white and gold decorated tree reaching almost to the roof’s peak. The golden dining table centerpieces and matching plates draw your eye along the length of the room, making the space seem larger.
17 of Chic and Modern Dark Teal Living Room Decor

Rich dark teal walls always look gorgeous when contrasted with white trim, like on the fireplace mantel in this living room. The shiny black hearth below is arranged with a large gold star and illuminated decorations, matching the glowing tree in the corner of the room. The lush garland on the mantel above adds to the luxurious look, as do the round mirror and pink candlestick. The overall design is modern and very chic.
18 of Cozy Living Room With Perfectly-sized Tree

Small can be mighty, as is evident with a perfectly-sized Christmas tree tucked into the corner of this living room. Its branches are decorated with white ornaments with warm white lights peeking through the needles. Brown-wrapped presents and silver trees rest on a white, faux fur rug below next to a wooden fireplace mantel. The overall ambiance is classic and cozy.
19 of Silver Metallic Christmas Decor Ideas
PHOTO:
Snowy Christmases are the best, which is why using silver-themed decor is so popular. This glistening shade reminds us of icicles, snowflakes, and white winter skies, so decorating your living room in silver tones helps bring the outside in. Silver accessories, especially when paired with white and gray furniture, wallpaper, and walls, produce an unforgettable and gleaming display.
20 of Small Kitchen Christmas Accents

Metallics and Christmas go hand-in-hand, and it’s easy to want to go overboard with your decorations. But even small accents can introduce the holiday spirit into every corner of your home. This small black metal basket with wooden detailing features white ceramics but is joined with a glinting silver Santa. When accompanied by a miniature potted pine tree, even the most forgotten corners of your kitchen will appear brighter and ready for the holidays.
21 of Modern Christmas Entryway
PHOTO:
Any entrance would be perfectly accompanied by this raw wood console table accessorized by a large stoneware vase and a large round mirror with a black rim. Gold bells rest next to a white reindeer and black candles, with a trio of conical trees at the opposite end of the table. Black and white pillows and a striped throw on the bottom shelf give the room a modern vibe.
22 of Neutral Christmas Style
PHOTO:
If you’re partial to a neutral room design, you don’t have to abandon your style for the holiday season. Select a few neutral or metallic pieces that fit well into your overall aesthetic to keep the look you love while celebrating Christmas. Simple accessories, such as a printed pillow, paper tree, and decorative candlesticks, can go a long way to make a room appear more festive while staying true to your color palette.
23 of Christmas Shelf Decor
PHOTO:
You don’t need to start from scratch when decorating your shelves for the holidays. Instead, remove a few items and trim around the rest, incorporating them into the overall look. Adding a few accents, such as candlesticks and garland, can brighten up any room and give it a cheerful appearance.
