A modern take on the three wise men, travelling the world, collecting an array of jewels and rich treasures. Dark and masculine hues are combined with metallic copper and glitter finishes to create a dark and mysterious Christmas trend.

The prominent colours in this theme all have dark, subtle tones which create a mysterious atmosphere. Colours such as Smoked Pearl and Grape Wine offer jewel tones and help to build an eclectic scene. A soft sheen finish helps to develop the luxurious, exclusive setting that offers undertones of mystery, class and opulence. The use of low key lighting or back lighting offer value to this theme, further promoting the overriding sense of class. The use of some of these lights could have a great effect.

Travel items such as compasses, a globe or jewels are a key feature of this trend. They further contribute to the three wise men tale, and help to bring it to life in your home. These more ornamental features offer a more detailed finish to the overall setting which includes graphic and marble patterns, slate like materials and crystal baubles.

Add an opulent and luxurious touch with this trend this Christmas and select hints of velvet, soft sheen and heavy texture. Please do send us photos of your decor to hello@countrybaskets.co.uk
