It's rare that a design looks both on-trend and timeless, but Kendall Jenner nails the balance in her outdoor Christmas decor. She achieves perfection by combining classic evergreen garlands with trending red bows.
The model's outdoor Christmas decor idea is incredibly simple. She starts with evergreen wreaths on the gates and walls surrounding her home. She then adorns them with large red bows that match the climbing plants on her home to blend into the California surroundings. On the edge of the driveway, her design team parked a cream vintage Chevy truck and filled it with small Christmas trees and snaking garlands. The whole design is beautiful, but the bows really make the look.
The accessory is right in line with Christmas decor trends. Rhiannon Masters, interior designer and Head of Brand at Piglet in Bed states: 'Bows have always been a fashionable choice, but they made a real comeback last year as a popular accessory. This year, they’ve made a huge impact in interior design, and linen bows are becoming a sought-after home decor accent—especially around the festive season. People love the idea of placing bows and ribbons on their Christmas trees, but some are taking it a step further by adding large bows to their wreaths for a little extra flair this festive season.'

What made decorating with bows popular in 2024? It was the auspicious collision of our current moment in fashion and culture. Masters states: 'Bows are a key part of the coquette trend, which spiked in searches in January and February of this year. This trend is all about an ultra-feminine aesthetic, with lace, pearls, and delicate details becoming prominent. One element that’s sticking around is bows.' The week before Christmas she reported: 'In fact, this week, bows are seeing their highest search volume on Google worldwide in the last five years, with 4 million searches in the last month.'
In Jenner's design, the timeliness of the bows is grounded in traditional Christmas decor. To emulate the look, I recommend starting with something simple and classic, like an evergreen garland, and then adding bows on top. You could also do this with a simple Christmas tree, where bows can become ornaments or a tree topper.
Decorating for the holidays works best when you combine both the familiar and the strange for a unique look that captures the energy of your home. In Kendall Jenner's home, it's chic and classic.
