For many of us, Christmas is a prime time to create cozy corners in our homes. After a big dinner, there is nothing more relaxing than congregating by a fireplace with festive decor all around.
Jennifer Aniston has curated the ultimate cozy-festive area in her home by combining three elements: a Christmas tree, a wood-burning fireplace, and a variety of stockings.
We love how Aniston lined her stockings up against the blocks of firewood, giving us an alternative idea of where to hang stockings without a mantel. The warmth of the fire complements the softness of the stockings, making for a cohesive area of the living space. Additionally, her tree adds some glitter and lush greenery to the space, thanks to the voluminous branches, sparkling white lights, and multi-colored ornaments. Above all, the space is a great example of how varied textures can make a room look visually appealing.

Festive classics
Red, white, green, and gold have been associated with Christmas for centuries – so why start anywhere other than the timeless basics? Aniston agrees – in case we need another excuse to invest.
A best-seller on Amazon (and deserving of glowing reviews), it's hard to go wrong with these lights this Christmas. If you are shopping for a larger tree, the strands are connectable, so you can have a harmonious glowing light throughout your branches.
Classic Christmas decorations like Aniston's have the ability to transcend interior trends and look just as good every December – because, sometimes, future design is rooted in the past. Elizabeth Marshall, a Christmas trend expert from Hillier Garden Centres, agrees.
'This year, we’ll be seeing lots of golds, metallics, and deep, rich colors, a very luxurious but traditional approach to festive décor with bold elements scattered throughout. Gold is complemented perfectly by dark and rich hues, like pomegranate, teal, plum, and greens, all combined to create a timeless and nostalgic palette. These shades invite warmth and sophistication to the room while encouraging a sense of nostalgia of Christmases past,' Marshall explains.
The best place to start (stockings aside) is a Christmas tree, as seen in Aniston's living space. 'A focal point of the Classic Christmas set-up is, of course, the tree! Whether you opt for a real one or an artificial, the key is to find the perfect tree that fits your space perfectly and creates that sense of grandeur,' Marshall says.
'A truly classic tree is defined by its ornaments, so carefully select baubles and ornaments that hold sentiment and class. Glass baubles that are rich in reds, greens, and golds are synonymous with Classic Christmas, paired with a traditional star or elegant angel at the head of the tree to bring the timeless look together.'
