1. ADDING POPS OF COLOR WITH SEASONAL FRUITS
'I think the infusion of organic elements, like citrus, in Christmas décor is one of my favorite trends,' says designer Marie Flanigan. 'I love the pop of color that orange adds against the greenery. The holidays are always a beautiful time to celebrate nature and when I can add other beautiful touches whether it's cranberries or even seasonal flowers, it’s my preferred way to decorate for the season.'
2. USING TAPER CANDLES TO CREATE A STAND OUT DISPLAY
'I'm going to be decorating at least one of my eight Victorian mantles with a multitude of cone-shaped taper candles in varying colors and sizes. Sprinkled amongst some boxwood greenery, this could also be a fresh take on the traditional advent wreath.' suggests Bethany Adams.
3. EXPERIMENTING WITH A JEWEL TONED COLOR SCHEME
Jewel tones are a huge color trend right now, but they really do come into their own at Christmas. Rich reds and greens may be the traditional scheme but this year there's a trend for adding in touches of deep blue and warm yellow too.
4. GOING RUSTIC WITH SCANDI-INSPIRED DECOR
'I'm not sure this counts as 'trend' because it's honestly so timeless, but the Scandinavian Christmas look is definitely on the rise for the holiday season this year. Expect to see plenty of light wood candleholders, organically inspired wreaths, understated garlands of wooden beads and winterberries, and traditional Scandinavian folk art motifs.' says Kathy Kuo.
5. BRINGING THE QUIET LUXURY TREND INTO HOLIDAY DECOR
The quiet luxury trend that's been going on since the start of the year is still here for the holiday season. It's all about subtle, warm color schemes, lots of candles, and soft lighting to create spaces that feel soft and magical.
