Level Up Your Christmas Tree By Thinking Bigger, Here's How
Sometimes less is more (looking at you Ralph Lauren Christmas trend), but other times, more really is more. When it comes to Christmas decor, many people are solidly on the side of bigger is better — especially when it comes to trees. For those who enjoy decking their lawn with the biggest and best, there is a recent trend that encourages you to welcome your lawn ornaments into to your living room this Christmas.

You saw that right, TikTok account @rose_navidad is devoted to over the top Christmas decor. And while you can frequently find trees on their page that highlight large ornaments, they dove in even deeper recently with a tree that has light up reindeer lawn ornaments placed next to and within the tree; and yes, this is all intended to be indoors. The reindeer tree was completed with extra large red ball ornaments, poinsettias, thick and glittery ribbon, and of course an abundance of lights.
If the reindeer aren't really your style — or you just want to explore other options — this particular tree setup is just one of many that embrace this over-the-top, extravagant design style. Other trees on the page span a range of themes with some leaning toward more whimsical, candy-land vibes while others are more akin to a glitzy take on a winter woodland which is a popular choice in 2025. The overarching similarity however is the grand size and excessive amount of decorations which definitely don't shy away from embracing the season.

How to go big in your home this Christmas
If you want an understated Christmas that relies on subtle holiday additions to warm up your space, keep scrolling. More often than not, this maximalist decor style appears in commercial spaces like malls or outdoor Christmas installations. The reason many of these places opt for something bigger and brighter than most in-home decor is because it's more eye catching from afar and decorating with larger pieces can help to fill up a tree faster.
In order to achieve a seamless design, you will want to have a range of ornament sizes so they all look like they fit within a collection rather than having a couple that look too big or too small. You will also want to be sure your large ornaments and decor pieces are securely attached to the interior of the tree — especially for those with kids and pets in the home. The other key to this tree style is courage — big decorations are not for the faint of heart. If you want to go for an over-the-top look, you have to commit to it for the entire tree, not just use a couple oversized ornaments, as this will just end up looking awkward and out of place. It can also help to extend the larger pieces to the base of the tree or even the sides as it helps it to appear more visually balanced.
