Minimal, maximal, magical: what’s hot this Christmas?

This year, Christmas decorations are all about combining nostalgia with bold, daring style elements. From metallic accents to unique handmade pieces – this is your ultimate guide to making your holiday decor extra special. Let’s explore the most talked-about trends of 2024 and see how they can bring that magical Christmas atmosphere to your home!

1. Metallics: glamour for the holidays

Metallics are the trend this season. Think disco balls, silver garlands, and gold accents – shiny and bold is the vibe! Pick one metallic color and fully embrace it. A tree decked out in shimmering silver or a warm golden glow instantly creates a festive atmosphere.

For the minimalist:

Keep it simple but impactful. Silver tinsel paired with warm white lights creates a stylish and timeless ambiance. It’s subtle elegance with just the right amount of sparkle!

2. Seventies disco style

Christmas decorations have never been this fun! The 70s disco trend brings back colorful, playful ornaments. Think bright shades like pink, orange, and purple for a cheerful and unique tree.

Choose decorations that tell a story or simply make you smile: skiers, retro VW vans, leopards, or even sardines! This trend is all about character and joy, blending nostalgia with a modern twist. Perfect for starting a fun, playful holiday tradition.

3. Bowtastic!

Bows are everywhere this Christmas, adding an elegant twist to your décor. Use them as ornaments on wine glasses, cutlery, candles, or of course, in your tree. Bows bring that extra festive touch.

 

For a classic look, choose earthy tones, cream, black, or deep burgundy. Wide ribbons make all the difference – from subtle accents to statement pieces, they work beautifully. Add a few oversized bows to your tree and pair them with white lights for a chic yet understated look. Don’t be afraid to mix different ribbon widths for added texture!

4. Paper decorations: Scandinavian coziness

paper ornaments remain a favorite, bringing a minimalist, cozy vibe to your Christmas décor. This Scandinavian-inspired trend focuses on simple, earthy colors, white or colored paper ornaments, and plenty of warm lights and candles.

Sustainability is no longer a trend but a lasting movement. Handmade decorations add a unique, personal touch while often supporting artisan communities. From felt figurines to natural materials, these decorations exude warmth and timeless charm.

Our favorite? Handmade felt ornaments from Nepal. They’re charming, whimsical, and bring a soft, cozy vibe to your home. Plus, your purchase helps support education projects for girls in Nepal. Sustainable and meaningful – the perfect combination!
