Style the perfect modern, on trend tree for this holiday season with the latest trends in Christmas decor and decorations.
1. Heirloom decorations that work with any Christmas decor.
Now more than ever the focus is on making valuable investments including heirloom decorations. While it’s lovely to have decorations that trend every year, just like everything else in the world right now we need to focus more on sustainability and investing in pieces that will become a treasured keepsake and something your family will pass down through generations.
Throwing out your entire decoration collection each year is not the best way to create lasting memories and creates a huge amount of waste, so number 1 tip is always investing in quality, classic decorations that grow in sentimental value and have personal meaning.
Comes as no surprise as the founder of glass heirloom snowflakes that are hand engraved, i think this is the absolute staple for any Christmas tree and the included memory card means you’ll be able to start a family tradition and share stories around your tree for years to come.
2. Tinsel, but re imagined.
Most people have a pretty negative view of tinsel, harking back to thrown together trees with weird colours and mismatched heights, it does often get the bad reputation of being part of a DIY look and not necessarily a high end addition to your tree.
But 2022 is seeing the return of tinsel, but not how you expected. Tinsel is now being used as individual strands (similar to the tinsel hair trend) and draped across the branches of the trees to give it a positively magical finish.
Styled right, tinsel can give a classic, elevated, modern look to your tree this year.
3. Flocked White Christmas Trees
While i still share equal love for both a beautiful classic green tree & a flocked white tree, i still feel this season will see a continued popularity for flocked trees with a emphasis on white & neutrals, leaving pops of colour behind for a continued rise in our beige obsession.
Perfect for a lover of a tree that blends seamlessly into their home decor and doesn’t love the colours of the festive season.
4. Large Characters
2022 is seeing more experimentation with large animals and characters featuring part of the Christmas tree look. To really have a tree that set you apart and tells a story, the addition of large stuffed animals and props can help to tell the story and perfect for adding a little more Christmas magic for the little ones.
5. White and gold decorations
Gold has been the metal of choice for 2022 in home decor trends so it’s no surprise it’s translating to Christmas decor for 2022. Think muted golds mixed with white and it’ll seamless blend with all the decorations you already own.
6. Oversized baubles strategically placed
Nothing like playing with dimensions to truely add some magic to your tree. There is quite literally a huge trend of oversized baubles emerging this season and they look beautiful placed amongst the branches of your tree, underneath as a cover or on their own in cluster to really bring a sense of grandeur to your space.
6. Glass ornaments on a classic European tree
There is something so spectacular about glass ornaments, and a completely crystal themed tree brings a luxury, classic feel to the space. Adorned with glass and ice themed decorations, a style that will forever have a sense of “white christmas” feel, no matter the weather.
7. Dried floral Christmas Tree
The southern hemisphere experiences summer during the festive period so for coastal homes the perfect adaptation of Christmas decor is including spring florals and a light and breezy colour palate. Think fresh and dried florals, pastels & pinks.
8. Clustered slim line Christmas trees
Perfect for narrow spaces or for decorating in an awkward spot, clustering slim line trees looks chic, minimal and great for adding dimension with your festive look without needing to have a large round footprint for your tree
9. Bows
No matter the colour, bows will always add a dimension of luxe to your tree. Think Velvet or satin for perfectly luxe material that will hold it’s shape beautifully.
10. Monochromatic Christmas styling
A huge trend we’ve been seeing in fashion this season is monochromatic styling (head to toe in a single colour but in differing shades) which is no surprise it’s following through to Christmas trends for 2022. Think whites, metals and pastels such as pinks & blues. The key is picking only one colour and working within it’s shades.
While i love talking Christmas trends – i still believe the most important elements of Christmas are memories and traditions. My hand engraved Snowflake Christmas decorations are the only heirloom Christmas decorations that are calligraphy engraved with your personal message on them. Included in your box is a special memory card for you to fill in and create your Christmas story and legacy to be experienced every year through the generations
