With the holiday season drawing closer, now is the time to consider themes and colour schemes for your festive home décor. Take inspiration from the latest decoration trends to create a spectacular display this Christmas.
Make Lavender Your Colour of the Season
For a festive colour scheme that’s both calming and fresh, choose lavender. This contemporary shade looks set to be the hottest colour of winter 22/23 with ornaments and decorations from invigorating purple through to pale creamy lilac. Consider mixing matte and metallic lavender baubles to tap into the trend or add flashes of purple to garlands and centrepieces with ribbons, flowers and impressive plumes of dyed pampas.
Decorate with Grand Botanical Greenery
Wreaths and garlands will be bigger than ever before to create the feeling of an enchanted forest or even a lush jungle. Grand bushy foliage cascades down bannisters, over mantelpieces and across doorways as part of this trend. For a traditional display, choose huge feathery coniferous branches, eucalyptus and large clusters of bright berries. Or look to dry and tropical climates for your nature-inspired theme, incorporating succulents, giant Monstera leaves, palms and orchids to create a stunning twist.
Celebrate Contemporary Style with Neon
The new neon trend takes seasonal joy to extra heights with an unconventional take on festive lighting. Retro and techno combine for a futuristic look that’s ideal for modern spaces. Geometric shapes, mirrored decorations and icy blue lighting can turn reception rooms, dining rooms and bar areas into winter party zones for entertaining. Accompanying colours add warmth – think mustard yellow, deep coral, rich purple and gold.
Add Christmas Warmth with Wood
Wood, in all of its wonderful forms, will be popular this Christmas time. Rustic driftwood ornaments in large sizes lend a minimalist Scandi feel that pairs well with whites and metallics. Handmade wooden tree decorations add nostalgia and a sustainable touch, while laser-cut decorations with ornate details and moving parts deliver enchantment when lit up on mantels and dining tables.
