When we think of a Christmas color palette, the classics usually come to mind: red, gold and green. This year, however, I’m tempted to break with tradition, inspired by none other than one of the most iconic figures of our time, Madonna.
+ 5 Christmas decor items that make your home look inelegant
Last year, Madonna shared a photo of her Christmas tree on Instagram. At first glance, it looks almost entirely traditional, but the blue bows are the exception. She filled the branches with generously sized ribbon bows that break the expected color scheme, giving her tree a modern and unique touch that made me rethink my own holiday palette.
Madonna may have been a pioneer of this look, which is no surprise, but interior design experts suggest we’ll likely see much more of this color palette in festive décor trends for 2025.
“Blue is a surprising color in Christmas décor because it’s not a shade we traditionally associate with the holiday,” says Hebe Hatton, head of interior design at Homes & Gardens magazine.
“Red and green convey familiarity and safety, which is why the introduction of blue immediately catches the eye and changes the atmosphere. Madonna’s bold choice of blue bows shows how a single unexpected color can revitalize a traditional tree, making it modern, fun and completely new without losing the festive spirit.”
Madonna’s tree may have set the tone last year, but I expect to see much more of this color in the coming weeks — starting with my own tree.
