Whether you’re gearing up to get guest ready or looking forward to a quiet Christmas with those closest to you, we’ve put together our favourite festive home décor trends and Christmas interior ideas to get you started. 

Country Gathering

Perhaps the most traditional of our Christmas trends, Country Gathering is evocative of big family affairs, cosy open fires, evergreen foliage and a rich red and green colour scheme. Comforting, nostalgic, and with an eclectic touch, look for luxurious soft furnishings, such as cushions and indulgent throws that can be layered over sofas and armchairs. 

When it comes to decking out the tree, stick to a colour palette of greens, golds and reds and warm fairylights for a truly traditional feel. The addition of a few novelty festive shapes and characters will add a playful touch and help to spark the imagination. Don’t hold back when it comes to decorating the dining table and any sideboards and banisters – Christmassy evergreen foliage, ribbons and holly leaf arrangements will go down a treat when it comes to creating a very country Christmas display.

Refined Nature 

Refined Nature feels sophisticated and grown-up, yet full of the childlike excitement of Christmas and time spent outdoors on crisp winter days. Bringing the outside into the home is central to this Christmas interior design trend. Whether you opt for a faux Christmas foliage garland and an artificial tree or love the tradition of a real tree, filling your home with Christmas plants, greenery and festive floral displays is the easiest way to embrace this trend. Think welcoming wreaths, pretty Pointsettia, Mistletoe, and gorgeous garlands wound around the staircase –all topped off with an array of baubles and decorations. 

When it comes to choosing your colour scheme, look out for a variety of calming greens accompanied by warm caramel tones. Organic textures and plenty of allusions to wildlife and the great outdoors, all topped off with shimmering silver and copper accent colours, are sure to be a crowd pleaser.

‘Tis the season to celebrate, and no Christmas interior decorating style appreciates a good knees-up quite like our Party Nights trend! From iridescent Christmas party decorations to beautiful glassware, this trend is designed for evenings with friends, drinks parties, dancing with the kids, big family dinners, and everything in between. Glitz and glamour is the theme here, with a sophisticated colour scheme of midnight and duck egg blues, sparkling silvers and gleaming golds setting the scene for the festivities.  

Create a welcoming atmosphere with candles, lanterns and twinkling Christmas lights – not forgetting to dress windows and the front door with inviting garlands and wreaths too.

Last but certainly not least of our interior design ideas for Christmas, the Elegance trend exudes sophistication, timeless appeal and delicate embellishments. A slightly more contemporary take on traditional Christmas décor, this Elegant Christmas trend swaps rich reds and greens for delicate pink and pale green hues. When it comes to soft furnishings and furniture, think indulgent textures in complementary tones. Adorn your living room with elegant Christmas fireplace decorations in the shape of garlands, candle bridges and floral arrangements in muted shades.  

Bring your tree to life with baubles in an array of different sizes and shapes – this will help to create a truly decadent feel. Opt for pinks, peaches, sage green and silver ornaments to keep a cohesive theme running throughout your home. Pretty and polished embellishment is the order of the day here, so don’t shy away from the odd sparkle or two – it is Christmas after all!
