With the minimalist turn of the last several years, we've seen an increased rise in pared-back Christmas decor. However, as the sparse beige designs of yore have begun to fade out, we are seeing something much more bold. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's holiday decor embodies the look.
The couple previously took to Instagram to share their Christmas tree idea. It looks to be approximately ten or more feet tall, and it's dressed from head to toe. Nearly every inch of the tree is covered. White lights form the background, which is emphasized by a gold ribbon wrapped around the tree as a garland. Large red and gold ornaments cover the front, made even more festive with gold poinsettias affixed to the tree.
Luckily for those who love a maximalist look, Jonas and Chopra's tree is right in line with Christmas decor trends. This year, we're seeing far fewer white and silver trees with a casual speckling of lights, and more trees are packed to the top with everything the decor store has to offer. Design enthusiasts are in love with the look. 'I don’t believe you can ever go over the top with Christmas, and when it comes to fairy lights, more is more!' adds Esme Amberg, head of design at The Roost.
Shop the look
Wrap this beautiful golden ribbon around your tree to emulate the stunning look of Nick and Priyanka's tree. Use the wire to create bulges that add interest.
These golden poinsettias are beautiful for adding flair to any Christmas tree. You can never have too many.
The varied styles of ornaments are perfect for layering several on top of eachother. They are a wonderful complement to gold.
Festive classics
Red, white, green and gold have been associated with Christmas for centuries – so why start anywhere else than the classics? This pack of 100 is the ultimate must-have for every home.
For the ultimate Christmas treasure that's special enough to pass through the generations, we can find nothing better than this Swarovski ornament. Though it's an investment, it's one that will impress every time it returns to your tree – and there's nothing chicer than that.
While it's hard to pin just one color to the couple's Christmas tree, there's certainly no absence of red – and these velvet ornaments are the most sophisticated way to introduce the hue to any space. Their velvet texture is truly timeless.
To recreate Jonas and Chopra's look, first things first: the Christmas lights. Amberg advises: 'Begin decorating your tree by putting the (tested) fairy lights on first, start at the top and work down.'
It's also important to decorate every part of the tree, leaving nothing sparse. 'The same applies to the baubles. Hang larger baubles closer to the center of the tree to give it more depth, and medium-sized ornaments in the middle layers and the smallest ornaments on the outer tips of the branches – I like to group them in little clusters of three,' suggests Amberg. A mix of red and gold Christmas ornaments like in this home provides a traditional look.
The couple's decor style works best when it is full of personality. Amberg says: 'To create maximalist Christmas decor start with hanging your favorite pieces and evenly spread out keepsakes from grandparents, gifts from friends or hand-made trinkets from the kids around the tree for a beautiful, sparkling tableau of joy and memories.'
If you are hoping for a similar look but your tree is looking a little bit empty, there is an easy solution. Amberg recommends: 'If there are a few bare patches, raid the garden for branches and stems, spray them green or gold (there are plenty of foliage sprays out there, especially at this time of year) and simply plug the spaces to add fullness and texture.'
