Christmas is a time of year when families come together, and there’s no better way to bring people closer than by decorating your home for the holidays. The best way to get the festive mood started is by looking at what others are doing, so that you can get inspired and create your own unique look.
The latest trends for holiday decoration are influenced by our lifestyles and how we connect with nature. Whether you’re a nature lover, a gardener or simply a fan of the outdoors, there are plenty of ways to decorate your home for the holidays that reflect your interests and personality.
Woodland Decor
With a resurgence in popularity, this trend is taking on new life this season. This is an ideal theme to incorporate into your Christmas tree, a wreath or any other decorative piece. It’s an especially popular choice for those with kids because it helps to create a sense of wonder and adventure in the home, says Dayna Isom Johnson, senior editor at Better Homes & Gardens.
This trend is rooted in the belief that trees are symbols of the spirit of the season, and it’s a way to bring the spirit of the holiday into your own home. This can be achieved by dressing your tree with a selection of brightly colored ornaments, including those made from nature-inspired materials.
White-Tipped Trees
Flocked or tinsel trees are still a big trend this season, but if you’re not ready to go all-out flocked (it can be tricky to keep the branches from getting covered up), then consider a white tinsel tree. It’s a more budget-friendly option and adds a touch of shimmer that makes it an even more attractive alternative to the traditional tinsel tree.
Pink Christmas Trees
The color pink is expected to remain a hot trend for holiday decorating well into 2023. It’s also one of the most versatile colors, so it can be used to accent a variety of different decor items. Use it to make a statement on your tree or mix it with other holiday colors like red and blue for a more subdued look.
Lavender Flowers
Adding a bit of lavender to your home for the holidays can help create a peaceful, calm atmosphere. This is especially important if you have children around as it can help them sleep and relax. It can be used to embellish a Christmas tree, wreath, or even a gift box.
Tinsel is an old holiday staple that’s making a comeback. The sparkle-laden material was once reserved for the wealthy, but it’s now available in a range of affordable PVC plastics, meaning it’s a great option for those who want to add some extra shine to their decor without going overboard.
Floral Christmas Trees
If you’re a fan of the botanical trend, then a floral-themed tree is the perfect way to bring a touch of nature into your home. This look is particularly popular among those who love a boho-inspired aesthetic, so adorn your tree with a selection of faux blooms in various shades and styles to give it an eclectic feel.
