Christmas decor trends change, but one thing remains constantly important over the years: the festive energy of the room. Whether it’s minimalist or maximalist, colorful or neutral, it’s essential that your tree reflects the warmth of the season. Though kitsch is currently popular, others master this sense with more muted designs.
Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Christmas tree nails the look. Their tree is decked in warm white lights and large white ornaments. Gold accents, such as a star (we love this light-up one from Amazon), tie the tree into the rest of the decor throughout the room. Though the color palette is simple, the impact is as striking as with much bolder designs.
It’s a masterclass in making minimalist Christmas decor feel chic yet celebratory.

So, how do Justin and Hailey nail this delicate balance in their Christmas decor? The most important step is decorating with intention and careful planning.
Interiors expert Josh Branigan advises: ‘Leaving everything until the last minute and decorating in a rush is one of the quickest ways to end up with a tree that’s unevenly lit or baubles bunched together on one side. Give yourself time to plan where everything will go, test your lights before they go up, and step back regularly to see how the room looks as a whole. Spreading the job over a weekend, rather than a single evening, makes it far more enjoyable and the finished result looks much more considered.’
They accomplish this intention by sticking to a cohesive color palette, namely a white Christmas. ‘Christmas decorating isn’t about having the most decorations; it’s about making your home feel warm, welcoming and personal,’ states Josh. ‘Sticking to a clear color scheme, giving each room some breathing space, and letting a few standout pieces take center stage will make your home look far more stylish. A little restraint goes a long way, and your guests will notice the difference.’

Sticking to a cohesive color scheme makes your tree feel warm and intentional, like Justin and Hailey’s. Here are our editors’ picks of white decor to recreate their look.
Another lesson from Hailey and Justin’s tree is the power of bringing in an accent color to bring out a festive feel. Between the star and glitter on their evergreen, metallic gold additions make the couple’s Christmas decor pop.
‘Gold works particularly well with seasonal colors such as light greens, white, hunter, or blue,’ advises Irena Cara, Interior Designer & Co-Founder at Nova Wrap. ‘Gold has been popular to incorporate into Christmas decor since the first Christmas.’
According to Irene, wrapping your tree in gold ribbon is a simple method for nailing the look. It’s versatile and ever-popular. She explains: ‘Gold ribbon is so timeless because you don’t have to buy into trends every year. Gold ribbon on the Christmas Tree is a simple way to never feel outdated because gold never goes out of style. A gold-ribbon tree will not look out of place in a traditional room where fine furniture is usually highlighted with gold accents.’
Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Christmas tree proves that festive decor doesn’t have to fit into a narrow box. Instead it’s about intention, care, and creating an ambiance you want to sit in throughout the holiday season.
