Drew Barrymore Transforms Classic Christmas Decor With White Lights and Red Ornaments for a Holiday Look That Feels Strikingly Fresh
Drew proves that classic Christmas decor can feel refreshingly modern when white lights and curated ornaments work in perfect harmony
Drew Barrymore is well-known for her positive energy as a TV show host, and this affinity for brightness naturally extends to her interiors. We've become familiar with her style through her Walmart homeware line, Beautiful by Drew, but the actor often shares glimpses of her home on her Instagram page.
We're currently taking holiday decor inspiration from one specific post, which features her bright, white-lit Christmas tree.
The traditional tree showcases white lights, red ornaments (much like these stunning pieces from Crate & Barrel), and a gold star topper, all perfectly embodying the classic Christmas decor aesthetic. It's an excellent demonstration of how a classically styled tree can be made unique through its chosen accessories.

The 'white light vs. colorful Christmas tree lights' debate is ongoing. However, experts on how to choose the perfect Christmas lights suggest that white lights, like Barrymore's, are especially effective for creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere during the winter season.
'Use a mix of ribbons, tinsel, ornaments, and lights to really elevate your trees,' suggests design expert Rebecca Baddeley. 'Cool, white lighting [like Barrymore's] is particularly effective for creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.'
We suggest pairing these lights with red and gold ornaments, just as the actress has, for a look that remains stylish year after year, perfect for the enduring festive season. 'You can put these items away knowing they'll look just as fashionable next December,' comments our head of celebrity style news, Megan Slack.
'Red, white, and gold are utterly classic for a reason – and Barrymore just gave us yet another reason to invest in confidence. Who can really argue with her?'
