We've reached the point in the year where forecasters and brands share the themes and colors that will dominate trends for the holidays. With such predictions come the opportunity to experiment with audacious, brave decorations; however, in all their fun, it's important to never forget the classics. Nobody understands this like Hugh Jackman.
While we await seeing how the actor dresses his New York home this year, a look back through his Instagram shows that, in previous years, he's prioritized tradition. Hugh has maintained a classic, gold, red, and green palette – sharing a Christmas tree that's filled with eclectic ornaments (including a cute robin, like this one from Amazon) and timeless red and gold ornaments (like these from Target).
'There’s a reason Hugh (and countless other celebrities) keep returning to a classic red, green, and gold palette year after year: it transcends trends,' comments Homes & Gardens' editor, Jennifer Ebert.
'While bold, experimental decorations may capture attention for a season, these timeless colors carry a warmth and familiarity that resonate with every generation. Investing in high-quality ornaments and decorations in these shades isn’t just a nod to tradition; it's the chance to fill your home with heirloom pieces that will look just as good in a decade from now. It's hard not to feel warmth when you think about that.'
