There is no better time to embrace maximalism than at Christmas, and actress Jane Fonda's Christmas tree is no exception to that rule.

The maximalist Christmas decor trend is all about embracing excess. Large doses of color, exuberant patterns, and plenty of kitschy ornaments take center stage. While 'more might be more', the current trend for maximalism doesn’t equal chaos. Think of your Christmas tree as a carefully curated Aladdin’s cave of treasures, with each item on display even more fascinating than the last. It is, after all, what Christmas is all about...

Shop the look

In recent years, more and more of us are taking bigger and bolder risks with the designs of our homes, and are embracing more colorful, unique, and maximalist decor schemes that truly reflect our style and personality – and there is no reason why this approach cannot translate to our Christmas tree ideas, too.

Recreating a maximalist look in your own home this Christmas is easier than you think. 'There are no rules to pattern or color mixing – the more eclectic the collection, the more interesting and fabulous it will be,' says Anna Spiro, interior designer. 'The most important thing is to make sure your decor is personal to you and your family.' Remember to have fun when decorating for the holiday season – even if that means bringing out the 'kitschmas' decor.
