Holiday Home Décor

Households commonly stick to the same holiday décor every year because, quite simply, it’s tradition. Nonetheless, you can incorporate your seasonal staples while also trying something new. Here are some of this year’s holiday décor trends to experiment with:  

 

Gemstone Glamor

The gemstone trend is a balance between elegance and modernity. Emphasizing jewel tones, rich greens are the star of the show, complimented by bright shades of magenta and touches of purple and gold. With a real Christmas tree and garland, the space comes to life with natural pine fragrance.  

 

White Christmas 

For a chic yet traditional feel, neutral tones act as the base of this décor trend. Cream, beige, and soft pink pieces layer the space followed by accents of bold reds, cool blues, and greys. Pieces made of faux fur such as throws, and pillows add texture while tying everything together. Finally, natural wood finishes and your favorite seasonal scents build warmth and comfort.  

 

Medieval Mood 

This is a more formal approach to holiday décor that incorporates emerald greens, navy blues, and deep burgundy shades. These rich tones are accessorized with luxurious crystal glassware and shimmering gold elements. Unique candle holders line mantels and act as centerpieces in the dining room for added attraction.  

 

Midnight Dream 

Create a somber yet festive mood to your holiday space with this trend. Royal blues are paired with dark shades of indigo, wine, rust tones, and burnt orange hues. Gold accents and extravagant ornaments are a staple along with feathers to add texture.  

Wrapping Reimagined

Spice up this season by going beyond traditional wrapping

Whether you think gift wrapping is the best or the worst part of the holidays, you can spice up this season by going beyond traditional wrapping. Here are some tips and trends you can use to upgrade basic giftwrap and perfect your presentation.  

Matte Black 

When it comes to the holidays, matte black wrapping paper is a unique choice that offers an unexpected elegance to gift exchanges. This simple background provides a blank canvas that can be spruced up with twine and natural elements such as an evergreen sprig or pinecone “bow.”

Woven Ribbon

Curling ribbon is a familiar favorite, but a flat lattice design is a non-traditional accessory to add to your packages this year. Create contrast by weaving together different colors, patterns, and textures. From country chic to modern luxury, play around with combinations to find the mix that suits your holiday style. 

Monogram Tags

Identify the gift’s recipient with bold initial tags that can be made-to-order or made by hand. This is another opportunity to experiment with color and texture. Consider using glitter monograms for an added sparkle that will top off your gifts beautifully or keep it simple with vibrant red lettering to contrast neutral backgrounds.

 

Non-Traditional Paper

Skip the average store-bought wrapping paper and use an eye-catching alternative that will leave your family inspired. Newspaper, maps, and even sheet music can add a special appeal to your gifts’ presentation. You can collect these on your own or find vintage pieces online for extra nostalgia.
