Christmas decor has taken over the kitchen — and no one does it with more style than Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling. The couple showed that even the smallest details can transform the heart of the home into a cozy, Christmas-inspired space.

In a post that delighted fans, Eva Mendes showed off her kitchen island decorated with mini Christmas trees and fresh flower arrangements, creating an elegant, accessible, and easy-to-recreate composition. Combined with fixed elements such as a gold faucet and wicker lamps, the mini trees add a discreet yet sophisticated festive touch — and the best part: you can recreate the look for less than 20 dollars.
According to *Homes & Gardens* magazine, this trend of bringing the Christmas spirit into the kitchen is one of the strongest for 2025. The idea is to integrate holiday decor into everyday life, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere without compromising the room’s functionality.
Expert Megan Slack, Head of Celebrity Style News at *Homes & Gardens*, explains that the first step to achieving this look is simple:
“Before you start decorating, clear the clutter. A clean and organized environment brings a sense of calm and is the perfect backdrop for festive decorations.”
With countertops cleared, it’s time to define a harmonious color palette. Megan recommends traditional tones such as red, green, gold, and white, used in table runners, napkins, and small accents. Fabrics like velvet or linen add sophistication and create a cohesive visual flow.
For floral arrangements, Rachel Bull, Head of Gardens at the magazine, suggests mixing natural flowers and greenery:
“Use white lilies, red roses, or amaryllis, combined with pine branches and poinsettias. They add texture, fragrance, and an irresistible festive look.”
And to complete the sensory experience, the scent of Christmas is essential. Rachel recommends scented candles with notes of cinnamon, apple, and pine to enhance the warm and refined atmosphere of the season.
Following Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s example, it’s clear that you don’t need a giant tree to create a memorable Christmas. Just a few strategic touches, well-chosen colors, and enveloping scents can transform your kitchen into a festive retreat full of charm and positive energy.
