One of the main trends this holiday season is a renewed focus on traditional décor.
Elements such as artificial candles for the tree, voluminous wreaths, poinsettias, berries, and accents of red and green evoke a familiar, nostalgic festive spirit.
To further enhance this nostalgic atmosphere, vintage-style lighting is recommended — antique-style string lights on trees and wreaths.
Bows are also trending this year and appear in a wide variety of forms and placements. Though bows are a classic holiday motif, the fresh twist lies in experimenting with scale, ribbon material, and color.
Opt for oversized bows—or lean into nostalgia with delicate velvet bows in warm, muted tones like copper, coffee brown, or plum.
Deep plum and rich brown shades are setting the mood for this year’s Christmas color palette.
These tones bring warmth to a room without appearing overly ornate. Classic shades—cranberry red, white, creamy neutrals, and forest green—remain popular, but modern accents can be added: muted lavender tones and soft metallic details (e.g., in vases or tabletop décor) look particularly stylish.
Natural compositions and the combination of different types of evergreen foliage are in trend.
The key idea is layering and blending. Experts recommend combining cedar, eucalyptus, and pine for a contemporary yet fresh and festive look. Many also incorporate vivid accent: berries or dried orange slices—for added brightness and interest.
Outdoor holiday décor is embracing an elevated, minimalist aesthetic.
We’re seeing a resurgence of harmonious, nature-inspired arrangements that complement interiors seamlessly. One effective approach is filling exterior planters with layered greenery and adding berries or pinecones for a naturally polished finish.
Simplicity reigns in tabletop styling: centerpieces now often feature a single focal bloom, balanced with fresh greenery. Texture plays a key role, even small additions like pinecones or berries lend coziness and holiday spirit to the composition.
