If you’ve tired of sad beige holidays, with Christmas decorations stuck in muted neutral tones and minimalist greenery, it might be time to give maximalism a try.
That’s what Sophie Erazo did this year. Inspired by a photo she found on Pinterest, Ms. Erazo, 26, said she bought a new, fake Christmas tree and covered it with “funky ornaments” and handmade velvet bows to bring her festive vision to life. She described her tree as an “Anthropologie dupe” — a nod to the clothing and home goods store known for its bright colors, rich textiles and generally not-subtle aesthetic.
“I just had a baby this year, so I’m definitely in the Christmas spirit,” said Ms. Erazo, who owns a salon in Delaware. “I want to give the magical, almost nostalgic, Christmas vibes to my son.”
She’s not the only one. Plenty of people are going all out this December, many motivated, like Ms. Erazo, by social media content.
Erika Kikola, better known by her Instagram handle @whilefloriansleeps, is one such creator whose outrageously decorated home has inspired plenty of copycats.
