'For years, we’ve seen a lean toward ultra-minimalist, monochromatic holiday decor, but Jennifer’s tree proves that there is an enduring power in nostalgia,' says Megan Slack, the head of Celebrity Style at Homes & Gardens. 'By swapping sterile white bulbs for a multi-colored glow, she’s tapping into a more personal, 'lived-in' luxury. It’s a reminder that the best festive spaces don’t just look beautiful; they evoke a sense of time-honored joy.'
Jennifer's tree is the ultimate maximalist move to embrace color so fearlessly, and it works because it feels intentional rather than cluttered. It’s a trend that invites us to stop worrying about perfection and start focusing on the warmth of the home, and there's still (just) enough time to follow her example.
