Gone are the days of bright reds, tacky golds, and artificial greens, it's now all about the rich hues of earth tones. Of course, there's still sparkle to be seen and not just in Victoria's clothing. No, the shining Christmas centrepiece in the store is the towering fir tree.
Decorated only with warm-toned lights, the lush real tree standing next to the mustard velvet sofas is the epitome of a quiet-luxury Christmas.
If you're more into the maximalism trend then this look will certainly not be for you, however, the timeless glamour of the space and colours cannot be denied.
Interior Designer Rose Uniacke even developed a custom paint colour for the store, and that earthy rich green is undoubtedly what seals this as a festive favourite for us. It may not scream deck the halls but we'll certainly be taking a page out of this book and enjoying our low-effort Christmas tree theme this holiday season.
Once again, Victoria Beckham is our style muse and we thank her for it.
Whether or not you're into a Minimaluxe Christmas stripping back on the decor can make life a little easier during an already chaotic time. But if your impressive Christmas ornament collection brings you all the festive joy, we say deck those halls!
