As a frequent collaborator with Wayfair, Kelly Clarkson has become a trusted voice in the world of interior design. Her collections are chic and affordable and, as such, provide us with a consistent source of sophisticated (and accessible) home styling inspiration.
In fact, the singer, songwriter, and talk show host recently hopped on Instagram to share her holiday home essentials, and we have to say that we are on board with them.
Her first pick? 'Multiple trees [available from Wayfair],' she states in the clip. 'My kids each get one in their rooms; they're smaller, and they get to decorate in their own little style.'
She continues, 'Gingerbread houses because we do them every year. Sometimes, they don't make it all the way to getting built because you eat them. I am all about a snuggly blanket. [Also,] Christmas village [on Wayfair] – we have an old school, classic Christmas village, and it lights up and makes me happy.' Below, we have rounded up Clarkson's essentials, because it's not too late to follow her lead before the big day.
Natural
Tap into the Kelly Clarkson-approved, multiple-tree trend by starting off with this set of two mini trees. They arrive potted and primed to be decorated, perfect for dispersing around your home.
Cozy
This cotton blend, knitted throw is the ultimate year-round accessory, but it is especially coveted around the holidays, when lounging time is at its peak. We love the chic, black and white colorway and tasselled ends on this one.
Decorative
This battery-powered, LED-lit Christmas village is the ultimate piece of Christmas decor, with endless scene possibilities.
Clarkson's picks aside, our editors have hand-picked some Christmas decor essentials that are shaping their own homes this December. We particularly love these velvet bows (from Anthropologie) – an instant way to tap into one of the biggest holiday trends (bows) of the year.
Snowflake patterns
This piece has a bright gold finish that feels timeless, and is the perfect finishing touch. We can invest knowing it will look just as good next Christmas and for many more holidays ahead.
Festive classics
Red, white, green, and gold have been associated with Christmas for centuries – so why start anywhere other than the timeless basics? These would look fantastic on a mini tree like Clarkson's.
Editor's choice
Decorative bows are once again this seasons must-have decor, but this time they come in smooth-to-the-touch velvet for a sophisticated look. Use them on Christmas trees, wreathes and garlands for a beautiful yet easy style.
