As the festive season approaches, it’s time to explore the trends that are shaping Christmas décor this year. From nostalgic touches to nature-inspired elegance, 2024 brings a beautiful mix of timeless charm and contemporary flair. Here are my top picks for Christmas styling that will make your home feel warm, inviting, and stylishly festive.
Nostalgia
One of the biggest trends this Christmas is a nod to the past, with nostalgic décor making a huge comeback. We’re seeing vintage-inspired ornaments and handmade decorations that bring a sense of warmth and tradition into our homes. This trend is all about reliving the fun, whimsical Christmases of childhood with decorations that tell a story.
The colour palette is classic—think rich reds and greens paired with charming details like gingerbread houses, candy canes, and glass baubles. You’ll also find lots of vintage-style bulbs, paper garlands, and hand-painted wooden figures, all bringing back that heartwarming, old-fashioned Christmas feel. To add a personal touch, consider handmade pieces like knitted stockings, embroidered tree skirts, and even woven wreaths. DIY enthusiasts, this is the perfect trend for you! Set aside a craft night to create your own decorations, or incorporate heirloom ornaments that add a unique, story-rich feel to your home.
Supersized
In 2024, Christmas décor has never been bigger—literally! This year, supersized decorations are taking center stage, creating showstopping focal points throughout the home. From oversized baubles to giant paper stars, it’s all about going bold with your holiday styling.
For a striking look, add large ornaments or oversized bows to unexpected places: a giant bauble on a console table in the hall, a festive bow wrapped around the staircase, or even oversized garlands draping the mantel. These grand, oversized pieces make a fantastic statement and help carry your Christmas theme from room to room, making your home feel cohesive and festive.
Think pink
This year, pink is stealing the spotlight as the trending color for Christmas décor. From blush to fuchsia, pink is appearing everywhere—from ornaments to artificial trees in gorgeous rosy hues. It’s playful, cheerful, and offers a fresh twist on traditional holiday colours, bringing a modern feel to any space.
If you want a contemporary look that’s fun yet sophisticated, consider adding pink touches throughout your decor. A blush-toned wreath, fuchsia baubles, or even a pink Christmas tree (John Lewis is your best bet here, although I’m still not sure on a pink tree!) are all great ways to bring a dash of trendy color to your space. Pink pairs beautifully with metallics like gold or silver, creating a look that’s both festive and stylishly unique.
Nature-inspired elements for an earthy, organic look
Nature continues to inspire Christmas décor, and in 2024, this trend is all about rustic charm with a refined touch. Dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, and eucalyptus garlands are making a strong appearance, adding natural scents and textures to holiday styling.
For an earthy, organic feel, look for décor made from natural materials like pinecones, branches, and dried flowers. Wooden ornaments and small evergreen plants, such as mini pine trees, create an understated yet undeniably festive look that’s as refreshing as it is beautiful. You can even bring this nature-inspired look into every room by scattering small plants, natural garlands, or rustic centerpieces on tables and shelves.
Making this Christmas your own
Whether you’re drawn to vintage-inspired nostalgia, the statement-making oversized pieces, trendy pink hues, or the earthy appeal of nature-inspired elements, these 2024 trends offer something for everyone. Christmas décor is about creating a warm, joyful atmosphere that reflects your personal style, so feel free to mix and match these ideas to make your holiday setting unique.
