Silver and gold decorations are guaranteed to make your holidays feel decadent and elegant, especially when paired with white decor for a pristine look that reminds me of freshly fallen snow. This lack of any bright colors and lights may seem odd to some, but it’s clear that the seamless blend of white and silver works perfectly to create a peaceful living room setting. When paired with glowing candles and a flickering fire, this design is the definition of serene.

Soft lights shining into dark evenings are one of my favorite parts of celebrating the holidays each year. It’s one of the reasons my family and I look forward to decorating our home each year and taking in the sights around our neighborhood. However, we’ve definitely fallen into the trap of using the exact same decorations and styles year after year, and we’re overdue for a style update!
That’s where these silver Christmas decorations come it. The metallic sheen of glinting silver is glamorous and luxurious while still looking modern, clean, and updated. I particularly enjoy how light refracts off the metallic sheen, filling the space with a warm glow that seems to radiate from the decorations. If I love these ideas half as much as you do, you’ll eagerly look forward to a style revamp this year, all with a shining silver sheen. Read on for more on my new favorite design inspiration for the holidays!

Faux fireplaces are the perfect place to amplify your Christmas decor, even if the days of crackling fires are long gone. Use the empty firebox to display presents and a glowing candle while placing a small, bright Christmas tree nearby. The draping garland with silver Christmas decorations is a wonderful addition to the mantel which is decorated with more candles and a gold-framed mirror that elevates the metallic decorations.

A glimmering collection of Christmas trees is the perfect accessory to decorate a console table in your living room. Especially when your interior design is focused on neutrals of white and gray, these simple decorations will blend seamlessly with the rest of your space.

Monochromatic design is definitely in the spotlight in the world of interior style. This homeowner has created a trendy display with a small flocked pine tree set next to stacked books with a collection of assorted silver and black votive candles on top.

One of my favorite parts of decorating for the holidays is hiding festive displays in unexpected nooks and crannies. I may take a leaf out of this homeowner’s book by decorating the shelves of a built-in cabinet with miniature trees and cheerful lettered signs. I particularly admire the cohesive color palette of white and silver contrasted with warm wood accents that remind me of a peaceful, snowy forest.
08 of Modern Metallic Tablescape

Tablescapes are a fantastic way to show off your creativity and set the scene for a festive Christmas dinner. The use of cloches filled with shining silver ornaments adds height and drama to the centerpiece. At the same time, metallic platters and decorative elements complement the neutral walls and distressed white furniture placed around the dining room. The use of silver and black in the centerpiece and place settings is a modern take on Christmas decor that makes me rethink my traditional colorful decorations.

Even the smallest touches add to the Christmas spirit and help create a magical wonderland in every room of your home. This marble table displays a mirrored silver tray, white bottle brush trees, and ceramic penguin statues next to a votive candled disguised as a mirrored ornament. The whole display could look washed out except for the wooden Christmas sign propped against the back wall, which adds the right warm accent without being overwhelming.
11 of Holiday Spirit With Glowing Lights

There is something about the warm white glow of Christmas lights that sparks a sense of peaceful joy in me each year. I would love to curl up with a mug of hot chocolate on the white sofa of this farmhouse living room and admire the white brick fireplace hung with stockings and illuminated garlands. And if the shining Christmas tree hung with red ornaments didn’t put me in the holiday spirit, the assorted bottle brush trees and flickering candlelight on the white distressed coffee table would definitely do the trick.

Our first home didn’t have a fireplace, which broke my heart when Christmas rolled around.

Placing your Christmas tree in easy sight, like this gorgeous pine decorated with white and silver ornaments, can help make up for the fact that we’re missing the warm glow of a crackling fire.
13 of Nutcracker Fancies

December is definitely a season of more: more lights, more food, more friends and family. It’s also the ideal time of year to show off statement pieces, such as this giant white and silver nutcracker with glowing lights. In my opinion, it’s the perfect focal point in this neutral space with white shiplap and a wicker chair since it sticks to the same color palette while adding a fun sparkle to decorate the room.

I aspire to have such a well-designed and decorated tree as the one on display in a corner of this stunning farmhouse!

I adore how the white and silver decorations fill every available branch on this Christmas tree, making it appear full and intricate. I see a new, exciting ornament woven through with a mesh garland and twinkling white lights everywhere I look. The silver branches on top of the tree have an organic accent that reminds me of a snow-dusted tree you might find when hiking through the woods.
16 of Simple Tree Decorations That Make an Impact

I grew up in the mountains and fondly remember pine tree forests and snowy winter evenings. The star of the show in this living room is the perfect pine tree hung with just a few silver baubles and wrapped in warm white lights, which reminds me of our annual hike into the woods in search of the perfect tree. This simple, natural look is continued with a trailing garland laid across the top of a navy console table and illuminated by the warm glow of a lamp at the end. This classic look is elevated by the molding on display on the white wall of the living room.
17 of Ribbon Garland as Tree Décor
PHOTO:
We have a tradition of buying one new ornament every Christmas and adding it to our tree, which has made many fun memories each year. But this tree reminds me that ornaments don’t always need to be the focus of our tree decor, and it might be worth focusing on other elements to change up our decor. The white and mesh ribbon garlands capture my attention in this vaulted farmhouse, accessories with just a few silver baubles.
18 of Glowing Tablescape With Metallic Sheen

I love how the round, silver placemats on this dining table reflect the light from the white candles placed in the center, giving the whole scene a cozy glow. Combined with the glowing class trees, the overall impact is one of warmth and peace where you can gather with loved ones as the night lasts longer. A simple white tablecloth and napkins are the perfect backdrop for the glowing light to become the main focus.
19 of Simple Vintage Christmas

There’s something about brown and wooden Christmas decorations that remind me of days gone by. This classic look is particularly effective with the white flocked tree with just a few white and silver Christmas decorations on its branches. The assortment of brown-wrapped presents and a wooden lantern give the simple living room a vintage feel.
20 of Elegant Dining Room Display

Frosted and glittering, this dining room is a picture of silver and white decor. From the large mirror hung on the wall above a mirrored side table to the white and silver ornamtents and place settings on the table, the look is elegant and traditional, while also highly stylish and chic. Keeping your holiday displays in the same color palette is risky, as it can look washed out, but the design here looks high end and luxurious.
21 of Cool and Calm Holiday Living Room

Black and white photos are my favorite style due to their dramatic appearance and ability to blend into any decor. They’re a picture-perfect addition to this living room, featuring light gray walls and a tufted gray sofa. If the calm and peaceful design wasn’t enough, this homeowner carried the look to the flocked and decorated tree, accessorized with white and silver ornaments and bows.
22 of Bare Wall and Minimal Décor
PHOTO:
Bare walls without many accessories is a new trend that I can definitely get behind. Instead of wall decor, this design focuses on light fixtures, furniture, and thoughtfully chosen centerpieces. On this dining table, a simple display with a woven basket and beaded ornaments placed on silver stands contrasts with a blue and white chinoiserie vase filled with white blooms.
