With every holiday season come new Christmas decor trends. Whether it’s an unexpected color scheme, a new ornament style, or the comeback of nostalgic classics, there’s always a fun new way to deck the halls. To get the pulse on this year’s biggest holiday decor trends, we tapped experts from the holiday decor, floral, and interior design industries to tell us what they’re seeing and loving. This year is shaping up to be all about a return to classic decor, embracing natural greenery, and setting a cozy atmosphere with moody color schemes. To give your home a festive refresh, here are the seven Christmas decor trends experts say will define this holiday season. 1. A Return to Classic Decor A return to classics is one of the biggest trends this holiday season. “Decorations such as faux candles to adorn a tree, full wreaths, poinsettias and berries, nutcrackers, and red and green accents all give that nostalgic holiday feeling,” says Shelby Waag, seasonal decor expert at Grandin Road. To really play up the nostalgia, the seasonal decor expert suggests incorporating vintage lighting. “There’s a nod to the olden days with vintage-inspired lights, whether on a tree, wreath, garland, or standalone strands,” she says. 2. A Mix of New, Repurposed, and Secondhand If you’re wondering whether you have to overhaul your entire Christmas decor collection to stay on trend this season, experts say the answer is a resounding no. “The best way to incorporate trends into your home is to echo the style of what you already have,” says designer Jessica Whitley. There are simple ways you can freshen up your home for Christmas and add to your collection of decorations without starting from scratch. “Decorating is a marathon, not a sprint, so you want to think of your holiday decor as a collection you acquire throughout the years, adding in new pieces to keep it fresh, and layering over your festive staples,” Waag says. 3. Statement Bows “Bows are also big this year, showing up in different ways to decorate all areas of the home,” Waag shares. Holiday bows are a classic look for Christmas, but a fun way to give them an updated feel is to play with their scale, the ribbon material, and colors. Go with oversized bows for a touch of holiday drama, or take a nostalgic approach with thin velvet bows in a variety of warm tones such as copper, espresso, or plum. 4. Moody Colors, Neutrals, and Soft Metallics Deep plums and rich espresso hues are putting a moody spin on Christmas color schemes this year. “Those colors bring timeless, warm feelings to a room without being overly fussy,” Whitley says. Floral designer Kaylyn Hewitt Garceau believes rich cranberry reds, white and creamy neutrals, and forest greens will remain timeless, though she suggests a chic update to the classics. “There’s room to incorporate modern twists with muted mauves and soft metallic accents that can be worked in through a vase or table decor,” Hewitt Garceau says. 5. Mixed Greenery Wreaths “Wreaths are getting a refresh this year with a focus on natural designs and mixed greenery textures,” Hewitt Garceau says. The designer shares that layering textures is a big Christmas wreath trend this holiday season, and suggests combining cedar, eucalyptus, and pine for a modern look that feels fresh and festive. “Many are also adding subtle accents like simple berries or even dried oranges for a pop of color,” she says. 6. Elevated Outdoor Decor This year, Hewitt Garceau says outdoor holiday decor is all about elevated simplicity. “We’re seeing a return to cohesive, natural arrangements that seamlessly blend in with what’s happening indoors,” the expert says. One way to achieve the look is to fill outdoor planters with layered greenery and add berry or pinecone accents for a natural finish. “The goal is to create warmth and welcome with something that feels fresh but is still beautifully composed,” she says. 7. Streamlined and Textured Christmas Centerpieces When it comes to floral centerpiece trends this holiday season, Hewitt Garceau says she’s seeing more love for single-focal designs that celebrate one standout bloom type that’s paired with fresh greenery for balance. “I recently did a tablescape using four different types of roses, with each type in one vase, lined them down a table, and it looked so lovely,” she shares. The floral designer suggests using simple, monochromatic clusters of blooms for a strong impact. “Texture is also key, so incorporating seasonal elements like pinecones, berries, or Anemones (a seasonal favorite) gives centerpieces a cozy, seasonal touch without feeling overly traditional,” Hewitt Garceau adds. 8. Simple Garlands and Trees.
