This year’s most coveted festive look isn’t about pure novelty or glitter overload; nor is it about perfectly ordered curation, it’s about charm, texture, and a sense of theatre. The overly precious, all white, meticulously contrived tree is well and truly relegated to the history books of the boring noughties 'all white everything' phase.
Instead, the style we're embracing feels both nostalgic and new, all sumptuous velvet ribbons, flickering candelight, and golden glow. Think the warmth of a traditional British Christmas, but with a slightly whimsical edge. And at the heart of that look? Anthropologie’s now-iconic Satin Bow Tree Topper, the finishing touch that turns any tree into something truly special.
Last year, it sold out faster than most of us could refresh our browsers, leaving hundreds of us desperately hunting for dupes that never quite matched up. There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about crowning a tree with a huge red bow; it feels old-fashioned in the best possible way. But this one is exaggerated in scale, rich in texture and opulence, but with a wink of character. Maximalists unite, it's time to get the main character of your maximalist Christmas decor ideas ready, and the wait is over. The Satin Bow Tree Topper is back, and if you want one, you’ll need to act fast. Consider this your warning; the countdown to sell-out starts now.
Every year, there’s one Christmas decor piece that defines the season, and this time, I’m calling it early. Anthropologie’s Satin Bow Tree Topper is officially back in stock, and as someone who has covered home trends for years, I can tell you: this one is pure gold dust.
The Satin Bow Tree Topper has become a favourite among designers, creatives, and interiors enthusiasts because it strikes the perfect balance between statement and ease. It’s oversized and luxurious enough to feel editorial, yet entirely unpretentious, allowing it to sit effortlessly among eclectic ornaments, unexpected textures, and playful colour palettes. This is true dopamine decor: injecting playful and joyful elements into a home.
Beautiful Alternatives for Achieving That Satin Bow Look
I have two trees at Christmas, one in the drawing room and one in the kitchen. The kitchen tree is something of a full-throttle maximalist creation, wrapped in fairly lights and smothered in angel hair tinse, and this pearl bow sits proudly at the top. It gets complimented non-stop.
