Glam Metallic Farmhouse Christmas Tree

Sparkly and modern this Glam Metallic Farmhouse Christmas Tree is a vision of sophisticated elegance that incorporates a touch of rustic farmhouse elements.

You’ve found the perfect Christmas tree, whether real or faux, and now it’s time to decorate. When I think of glamour, it’s something sophisticated, that brings a little bit of sparkle and an added touch of elegance that elevates the ordinary. 

Michaels Dream Tree Challenge

It’s that time of year…it’s time for the Michaels Dream Tree Challenge.  This is quite possibly one of my favorite blog posts all year long.  Not only do I love dreaming up a new theme for my own tree, but I absolutely love looking at all of the other Maker’s trees too.  

Every year I wonder if it’s possible to fall in love with the new tree as much as I loved last year’s. There is no doubt about it, I am completely smitten with this year’s theme and my Glam Metallic Farmhouse Christmas Tree.

This summer we added shiplap to one of the walls in our living room and we’ve slowly been working on transforming our home into what I like to think of as modern farmhouse decor.  I knew I wanted my tree to reflect our new style, and I wanted it to have a touch of glam.  I loved all of the metallic Christmas ornaments and decorations at Michaels this year, and they provided the perfect inspiration for my tree.

Glam Metallic Christmas Tree Decorations

The giant copper magnolia blooms were what inspired this year’s color scheme.  I loved the deep hue and it reminded me of something you might find in the forest. Plus, it is different from the typical Christmas gold you see everywhere this time of year. 

While copper was my main color, I also wanted to incorporate other metallics to make it pop. Two different kinds of shimmery metallic ribbon were layered with a metallic ball garland.  I love the way it sparkles and shines as the light bounces off of it.

I incorporated a variety of metallic ornaments, everything from glass balls and glitter-covered ornaments to vintage-inspired glass ornaments.

Last year I created a Winter Woodland Christmas tree that featured lots of white, owls and rustic ornaments.  There were elements about that tree that I loved and incorporated them into this year’s tree as well. The pop of white from the owls and fluffy feather ornaments make it feel cozy.

DIY Painted Gold Leaf Ornaments

While I wanted our farmhouse Christmas tree to reflect nature-inspired whites and metallics, I also thought it needed a small pop of color. Aqua is one of my favorite colors and can be found throughout my home, so I decided to add some to the tree too. I made DIY Painted Gold Leaf Ornaments and they turned out to be one of my favorite elements of this tree.

How to Make Your Christmas Tree Look Fuller 

One of the things that make a Christmas tree extraordinary is adding extra greenery and texture to the tree.  I added lots of snow-covered pine tree picks throughout the tree.  Incorporating several different styles and textures gives it depth and creates that full look that makes a Christmas tree look so glam.

I could sit and stare at this gorgeous glam metallic farmhouse Christmas tree all day.  Additionally, the way the lights twinkle, the ornaments glimmer, and the metallic colors pop make me so happy and ready for the Christmas season with my loved ones.
