I’m Over Tall Christmas Trees, Martha Stewart’s Tiny Tabletop Alternative Shows How Thoughtful Details Create the Chicest Holiday Decor

Martha Stewart.

Martha Stewart's blog consistently inspires us with interior design and gardening ideas, so her recent post on her Christmas decor immediately caught our attention.

This year, Stewart has chosen a look that is both timeless and chic for the wintry season, opting for touches of metallic, abundant greenery, and natural materials to give her home a look that is cozy yet refined for the Christmas celebrations.

'Whether I am home or away for Christmas, I always like to decorate several rooms with festive trees, wreaths, and pretty plants from the greenhouse,' she shares on her blog.

'This year, some of my decorations include gold, silver, and green tabletop trees glistening with ornaments, coordinating wreaths on the windows, colorful orchids, and other lush green potted plants.'

Shop the Look

Among all her Christmas decorations, her tabletop tree (seen below) is our top pick. 'Here is a green tabletop tree in my sitting room. The ornaments include different shades of green and gold,' Stewart notes.

Although Stewart could create any grand festive display, her compact tree reminds us that sometimes, less is truly more – particularly during the busy holiday period.

Her Christmas tree is small enough to fit on a table in any size of home – and we especially appreciate it when a celebrity shares a look that is both accessible and charming for our own winter decorating.

'I try to vary the holiday decorations in my home. I always use lots of trees – silver, green, or gold in every room,' Stewart elaborates regarding her broader decorations. 'I always try to display them differently each time. In my Brown Room, silver trees decorate the dining table with ornaments and glass icicles on every branch.'

Following her example is a great idea for 2025’s festive season – but we will need to move quickly before the Christmas deadline.
