It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and many of us are now turning our attention to decking the halls and trimming the trees, preparing our homes for the most wonderful time of the year.
Christmas 2024 is shaping up to be a season of elegance, warmth, and a return to nostalgic charm with a modern twist, but what are the top décor trends this year?
We’ve taken a look at some of the latest looks for the season.
Deck the halls with nostalgia
What is Christmas without a little nostalgia? Embrace a timeless red and green colour palette that truly captures the essence of the season. Think red and white striped candy canes, along with shiny red and gold baubles adorning your Christmas tree. When decorating around your home, opt for jolly Santa Clauses, gingerbread houses, and other charming elements that stir up fond childhood memories. This trend is all about creating a cosy, inviting atmosphere that feels both warm and festive
Truly tree-mendous novelty baubles
Looking to add some character to your Christmas tree this year? Why not embrace kitsch and go all-out with novelty baubles? With this trend, the more flamboyant, the better. Mix and match everything from pigs in blankets to icons of London, and even a full English breakfast. There’s truly a bauble for everyone. Pile them on your tree and pair them with rainbow-bright colours—a trend that’s taking the world of Christmas décor by storm. Don’t forget, it’s not just about the tree — why not hang a bright bauble wreath on your door, or even scatter a few primary-coloured Christmas trees throughout the house?
Have yourself a disco little Christmas
Disco balls have been everywhere this year, and now you can add a bit of sparkle to your Christmas décor as well - it’s a fun and stylish way to shine this season. According to Elle Decoration, the hashtag #discodecor has racked up 38 million views on TikTok. For a festive twist, opt for mirrored baubles with hints of chrome. And don’t limit yourself to just the tree — disco baubles can be incorporated into wreaths or garlands for a truly dazzling effect.
Silent night, neutral and light
Neutrals are forever in style, and if bright colours, kitsch ornaments and disco balls aren’t quite your thing, then a neutral Christmas might be just what you need. The scandi-style with natural materials and rustic pieces such as wooden beads and pinecones are really inspiring and a must-have theme for 2024.
Dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, and eucalyptus garlands are making a strong appearance this season, bringing a refreshing, natural scent into homes.
When decorating with this trend, think pinecones, wooden stars, delicate fairy lights, and dried orange garlands. Handmade decorations and wreaths are also a perfect fit here, ideal for those who love a bit of DIY. To add a subtle pop of colour, consider deep green, navy or burgundy taper candles. Just imagine a cosy winter evening with a hot chocolate in hand, a Christmas film playing and the soft glow of candles, setting the perfect mood.
Ding-dong doorscaping
Its not just inside your home that should feel the Christmas vibes, but the outside too. We know that many people will have lights outside their homes during the festive period, but have you ever thought about ‘doorscaping’? Having a beautifully decorated door is key to giving your whole home that festive feeling. Think potted fir trees, brightly coloured lights, fresh foliage wreaths, and a festive doormat to give the outside of your home a sprinkle of festive cheer.
