With just a month to go before the big day, many people are putting up their Christmas decorations and getting ready to celebrate. To help you prepare, we’ve created the ultimate guide to 2024’s Christmas interior design trends for new homeowners.
Supersize Me!
Looking to make a statement this Christmas in your new home? Oversized decorations are the way to go! Think big bows and even bigger baubles. Lightweight options like paper stars and bows are perfect for supersizing without weighing down your tree.
For added depth, mix in regular-sized and smaller baubles to create a dynamic, eye-catching display. If you have a smaller tree, consider hanging large baubles in a stepped pattern from ceiling hooks or embellishing a wreath with oversized bows to decorate your bannister. Alternatively, place a bold bow on your front door.
Pro Tip: Door-scaping is a growing trend! Cover your doors and porches with oversized bows, lights, and wreaths to create an enchanting festive entrance.
With Bells On
If you loved last year’s ribbon trend, this update is for you. Add small bells or mini ornaments to the centre ties of your bows for an elevated look. The subtle jingle as someone brushes past the tree or excitedly reaches for their gifts adds a touch of magic.
Bows aren’t just for trees, either! Use them to decorate garlands, wreaths, or even gift wrap to bring a cohesive, festive charm to your space.
Getting Spicy
From October onward, winter spices dominate our senses—so why not extend them to your decor? Wrap your home in warm, spicy shades of orange, rust, brown, and gold, accented with just a hint of festive red.
Create a glowing, candlelit effect with cosy lighting, even during the day. Complement this palette with soft, inviting furniture to make your space feel like a warm, festive hug.
Down On Paper
Paper decorations bring a natural, handcrafted feel to your home and are easy to make. This budget-friendly option is perfect for family crafting sessions on snowy or rainy days.
Try folded paper snowflakes, stars, or draped paper chains. Small paper trees or stars also make excellent table decorations, especially when crafted from colourful or patterned origami paper.
Eco-Friendly Bonus: These decorations are recyclable, making cleanup a breeze while keeping your holiday sustainable.
Bold & Bright
For those who love making a statement, bold and bright is the trend to embrace. Believe it or not, red Christmas trees have been trending since August, with retailers releasing red and pink options to meet demand.
This maximalist approach is all about joy and festive exuberance. To keep it cohesive, stick to a coordinated colour palette. For instance, pair a pink or red tree with baubles in matching tones—think reds, pinks, purples, and a touch of sparkle.
Dig In
Bring a sense of whimsy to your decor with food-themed ornaments! This trend, often featuring hand-crafted decorations made from crochet, felt, or wood, is especially fun for families.
Look for ornaments like slices of cake, gingerbread, mince pies, or fruits. Pair these with other playful items like soft reindeer, tiny snowballs, or festive figurines for a charming, storybook-inspired vibe.
Groovy Baby
Nostalgia is making a big comeback this year, with classic decorations like nutcrackers, ballerinas, fairies, and mouse kings from traditional Christmas tales taking center stage.
But there’s a twist! Disco-themed decor is also on the rise, bringing glitter, sequins, tassels, and iridescent accents into the mix. This groovy trend effortlessly transitions your festive decor into a sparkling New Year’s celebration. Just add a disco ball and some party vibes to keep the festivities going.
These trends offer plenty of inspiration to make your home shine this holiday season. Whether you go bold, spicy, or groovy, there’s something for every style and personality.
