Jennifer Aniston Curates the Ultimate Cozy Holiday Corner With Stockings Hung on Firewood, a Glowing Fireplace, and a Timeless Christmas Tree

For many of us, the Christmas season is the ideal time to create cozy corners in our homes. After enjoying a hearty dinner, there is nothing quite as relaxing as gathering by a fireplace, surrounded by cheerful, festive decor.

Jennifer Aniston has created the ultimate cozy, festive area in her home by combining three essential holiday elements: a Christmas tree, a wood-burning fireplace, and a selection of stockings.

We admire how Aniston has positioned her stockings (much like this beautiful piece from Target) directly against the blocks of firewood, offering an ingenious alternative idea of where to hang stockings without a mantel. The natural warmth from the fire perfectly complements the soft texture of the stockings, resulting in a cohesive and inviting section of the living space.

Furthermore, her tree brings sparkle and lush greenery to the room, thanks to its full, voluminous branches, twinkling white lights, and multi-colored ornaments. Above all, the entire arrangement is a superb illustration of how using varied textures can make any room look visually captivating for the holidays.

Classic Christmas decorations like those chosen by Aniston possess the power to move beyond fleeting interior trends and look equally wonderful every December – because, as is often the case, future design inspiration is rooted in the past. Elizabeth Marshall, a Christmas trend expert from Hillier Garden Centres, confirms this sentiment.

'This winter, we’ll be seeing a strong focus on golds, metallics, and deep, rich colors, reflecting a very luxurious yet traditional approach to festive décor with bold elements sprinkled throughout. Gold is beautifully complemented by dark and rich hues, such as pomegranate, teal, plum, and deep greens, all of which combine to form a timeless and nostalgic palette. These sophisticated shades instantly invite warmth and elegance into the room while stirring a comforting sense of nostalgia for Christmases past,' Marshall explains.

The best place to begin (aside from hanging your stockings) is with the Christmas tree, a centerpiece evident in Aniston's living space. 'The focal point of the Classic Christmas set-up is, of course, the tree!

Whether you choose a real or an artificial one, the crucial step is finding the perfect tree that fits your space impeccably and instantly creates that necessary sense of festive grandeur,' Marshall advises. '

A truly classic tree is defined by its ornaments, so carefully choose baubles and decorations that carry both sentiment and class. Glass baubles rich in reds, greens, and golds are synonymous with Classic Christmas, paired with a traditional star or an elegant angel at the very top of the tree to beautifully bring the timeless look together.'
