Drew Barrymore uses white lights and red ornaments to create a 'warm and cozy' Christmas atmosphere setting that's endlessly classic

Drew Barrymore.

Drew Barrymore radiates positive energy as a TV show host, so unsurprisingly, her affinity for brightness translates to her interiors. While we have gotten to know her style through her Walmart homeware line, Beautiful by Drew, the actor has also been known to share snaps of her home on her Instagram page.

We are getting some seasonal decor inspiration from one post in particular, which shows off her white and bright Christmas tree.

The traditional tree features white lights, red ornaments, and a gold star topper, all of which tap into the traditional Christmas decor aesthetic beautifully. It's a perfect example of a classically styled tree made personal by its accessories.

The white light vs. colorful Christmas tree lights debate is an eternal one; however, experts say that when considering how to choose the perfect Christmas lights, white ones like Barrymore's are specifically impactful for those looking to create an inviting and comfortable space.

'Use a mix of ribbons, tinsel, ornaments, and lights to really elevate your trees,' suggests design expert Rebecca Baddeley. 'Cool, white lighting [like Barrymore's] is particularly effective for creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.' We recommend pairing these lights with red and gold ornaments, like the actress, for an aesthetic that will stay on trend year after year. 'You can put these items away knowing they'll look just as fashionable next December,' comments our head of celebrity style news, Megan Slack. 'Red, white, and gold are utterly classic for a reason – and Barrymore just gave us yet another reason to invest in confidence. Who can really argue with her?'.
