There really is no better time to embrace bold, expressive decoration than at Christmas, and actress Salma Hayek's Christmas tree is no exception.
The maximalist Christmas decor trend is all about embracing excess. It involves large doses of color, exuberant patterns, and plenty of kitschy ornaments that are almost certainly a talking point in the home. We expect this trend to play a large role in how we decorate our homes in 2025, even beyond Christmas.
While 'more might be more', the current trend for maximalism doesn’t equal mess or chaos. Think of your Christmas tree ideas as a carefully curated Aladdin’s cave of treasures, with each ornament on display even more fascinating than the last. It is, after all, what Christmas is all about, and Hayek never disappoints. Her previous trees have been equally delightful, exciting, and bright!

Recreating a Hayek's playful look in your own home this Christmas is easier than you think. 'There are no rules to pattern or color mixing – the more eclectic the collection, the more interesting and fabulous it will be,' says Anna Spiro, interior designer. 'The most important thing is to make sure your decor is personal to you and your family.' Remember to have fun when decorating for the holiday season – even if that means bringing out the 'kitschmas' decor.
