Stylish Christmas tree trends
These Christmas tree trends are just the ticket if you’re in need of a little festive inspiration. Decorations are about so much more than red and green, and there are other ways to think about baubles that don't just involve the family favourites. w Just pick one
If you’re single-minded in your vision, then this Christmas tree trend is for you. Paring back to just one colour across the whole tree is not only a bold and stylish look, but also an incredibly easy one to execute. Either invest in a few of the same sets of baubles, or paint all your baubles in one statement block colour – red is a great choice as it contrasts beautifully against the green of the tree. The single-use of colour is bold and looks extremely sophisticated, whilst the contrast between the sheen of pine needles and the velvet soft finish of matt painted baubles is deeply satisfying. w Playful pastels
A nostalgic trend, this look incorporates a more whimsical colour palette and retro designs. The innocence of this Christmas decor lets us escape for a moment into a simpler and less complicated time. Pastel pinks and blues are the backdrops. w Go all natural
For something a little softer, you can’t beat a palette of natural tones. Sitting beautifully against festive foliage - be it a tree, table centrepiece, or staircase garland these hues will really accentuate the beauty of nature.
The camel, tan and beige hues that you can use to make up most of your decorations are a softer take on the gold tones traditionally associated with Christmas. Natural colours are a big trend this winter, and speak to the wider shift towards all things organic. This has been seen all year with the return of beige living rooms.
Of course, preserving the natural world is high on everyone's agenda, and you can decorate with eco principles in mind this Christmas – this maximalist season doesn't mean you have to forgo your attempts towards sustainable living.
w Maximalist nostalgia
Speaking of maximalism, there’s really no shying away from tradition at Christmas, so if red and green is your thing, you may as well go for it! If you are a maximalist when it comes to Christmas, and love the classics like red and green with lots of bling, just enjoy the festivities and go for it.
w Nordic minimalism
For when it all feels too much, take inspiration from Scandinavian design. Stripping the look back to its beautiful essentials, this trend is all about quality over quantity. But, there’s a fine art to creating a minimal look that still feels warm and inviting. A Nordic Christmas is all about creating a welcoming space. Candlelight and fairy lights with a beautiful tree and verdant foliage can be all that you need for a minimal, yet atmospheric look. If you want to add a little more decoration, choose baubles that are in a very muted colour palette, or are all the same material.
