Pottery Barn
Mirror Tree
WHO’S THE FAIREST ONE OF ALL?
Little mirror beads make up the leaves of these wire trees. Available in a set or individual, it’s modern nature chic.
CB2
Glass Snowman
OR 3 WHITE SPHERES
Opaque white glass, you wouldn’t even know this is a snowman without context. When you can’t tell what it is…isn’t that modern at its finest.
Crate & Barrel
Metal Nutcracker
ZINC FOR DAYS
I love a modern take on a classic, and is there anything more classic than a nutcracker?

CB2
Glass Tree
SHINY = FESTIVE ; MATTE = COOL
Like the reindeer, with 3 colors and multiple sizes to choose from, you can decide how you want to decorate with the trees. I love the mix of shiny and matte.
Crate & Barrel
Metal Reindeer
REINDEER ARE REAL, METAL REINDEER ARE NOT
Available in silver or zinc (almost black finish) and 5 sizes, how you style these reindeer is up to you. 7 of the same style all in a row, mixed metal and sizes…the possibilities are endless.
Crate & Barrel
Wall Hung Tree
WHEN YOU ARE LIMITED ON SPACE
This pre-lit tree hangs on the wall so takes up zero floor space. At first glance, it may look a bit abstract, but isn’t that part of what makes it cool?
Etsy
Mini Wreath Set
ALL THE WAY FROM BELGIUM
5 fresh mini wreaths will arrive straight to your door from Belgium. They come with your choice of ribbon (silver, gold, or white are my pick) and each one has a minimalist but unique design. Pricey, with a side of Europe.

Etsy
Metallic Deer Head
PETA FRIENDLY (I THINK)
This modern, no animals hurt in the making, resin deer head has après-ski lodge vibes, in the coolest way.
Etsy
Concrete Tree
IT’S A CONCRETE JUNGLE OUT THERE
When you take something soft and natural like trees and translate it into something hard and cold like concrete, what you get is a minimalist holiday dream.
West Elm
Silver Candle
CAN ONE HAVE TOO MANY CANDLES?
It’s hard to find a Christmas Tree scent in a candle that doesn’t look like it. Not only is this candle not traditional and/or green, but it’s silver and modern! And for that reason, this is the perfect Christmas candle.
Williams Sonoma
Bay Leaf Wreath
YES, THAT KIND OF BAY LEAF
With a unique scent, you can use the dried bay leaves for cooking throughout the year. How’s that for multi-functional holiday decor?
