With the holiday season officially upon us, it’s time to deck the halls and make your home the perfect backdrop for your holiday festivities. From DIY crafts to stylish colours, there’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to this year’s holiday décor trends. So, for all the interior decor enthusiasts out there, we’ve shortlisted the most exciting design trends you’re sure to see in homes this year.
Ditching artificial ornaments and store-bought décor for more natural decorative elements is becoming an increasingly popular trend amongst homeowners. To establish a more natural aesthetic in your home this holiday season, incorporate elements like pinecones, leaves, twigs of eucalyptus, feathers and moss in your festive displays. You could create centrepieces using a combination of candles and painted cones, and decorate it with silver accents to keep with the holiday theme. You could also decorate your dining area with some live plants or use wood slices to display dishes during holiday dinners. There are tons of options when it comes to this trend, so get creative when bringing the outdoors inside.
There’s no better way to make a space uniquely yours than incorporating one-of-a-kind DIY elements. Going the “Do It Yourself” approach allows you to unleash your creativity – producing homemade wreaths and personalized décor to display throughout your home. Although this trend is ideal for avid crafters who love making their own art, with a little dedication and the right tools you can take part in the DIY decorating trend as well.
Christmas is all about tradition, and there’s no better way to keep with tradition than incorporating vintage decorations and elements into your space. Vintage-inspired decor creates nostalgia and sets the mood for a classic Christmas. To nail this trend, we suggest you crank out that box of old Christmas ornaments instead of shopping for brand new decorations. Use rustic ornaments to embellish your wreath, add passed down decorations to your holiday displays, or finish your Christmas tree off with a classic tree skirt. These personalized touches create a warm and familiar space for family and friends to enjoy.
While the traditional red, green and gold set the tone for the holiday season, we’re seeing a shift away from these conventional colours to bolder hues. More homeowners are opting for a combination of daring jewel tones and punchy metallics to help bring the Christmas feeling into their space. We love using a combination of royal blue and silver – it’s out of the box yet still creates a feeling of a winter getaway which is ideal for this time of year.
Maximalism is in this Christmas season! This holiday design trend gives you permission to go overboard with your decorations and express how much you love this time of year. When going the maximalist route, you’ll want to work with different colours, textures, patterns and décor to turn your home into the perfect Christmas wonderland. Since more is more with this trend, don’t be afraid to go all out. Hang those extra ornaments, toss that plush throw on the couch, and put up one more row of jazzy Christmas lights – it all adds to the maximalist aesthetic. Just be sure to arrange all your different elements in a way that complements each other.
Decorating your home for the holidays is a fun and inspiring activity, and with this shortlist of trends, you’ll be on your way to creating a personalized and stylish space.
