The festive feel is in the air, and that means it’s time to start thinking about your holiday decor. If you want to be chic and on-trend, here is a sneak peek at what’s in style this season.

Holiday decor often goes through seasonal swings. For example, silver and gold have been a favourite combination over the past few years, but this year’s tastes have shifted. For the 2022 holiday season, expect to see more blue, lavender, and natural, earthy tones dominating the colour palette. Flocked trees are also making a comeback, while some people are opting for alternative trees altogether. Let’s dive into these timely trends.

1. Natural Tones and Sustainable Decor

Holiday decor is beginning to catch up with wider trends in sustainability and the popularity of neutral and earthy colour palettes that has resulted. Those who want to jump on this trend should stick with white background colour, green accents, and woody brown tones. Adding in textures like stone, bark, or even cork will give your decor some extra visual and tactile characteristics. To stick to the sustainable theme, choose items that are organic or made from recycled materials.

2. Beautiful Blue and Gold

If you like your decor to be a little bolder, consider going with a rich blue and gold colour palette instead. Blue and gold is a timeless combination that exudes a warm and rich feel. It is also a great choice for those who prefer maximalism over minimalism, allowing you to really go all out with your decorative details. Take the “more is more” approach by using glittering gold accents against a dark blue backdrop to create a celestial look.

3. Lavender

Another colour that you’ll likely see everywhere this holiday season is lavender. A soft lavender in a pastel shade will make a lovely complement both to a neutral and a blue-and-gold colour scheme. Heading into 2023, lavender is also predicted to be a trendy colour in interior home design. Get a jump on the trend by incorporating it into your seasonal decor!

4. Flocked Christmas Trees

“Flocked” refers to artificial Christmas trees covered in fake snow. While these have never really gone out of style, they certainly are making a comeback this year. Flocked trees make a magical centrepiece that brings the season indoors, without the accompanying cold. They look bright and festive in photos as well, especially with a bunch of presents piled underneath.

5. Alternative Christmas Trees

More and more people are coming around to the idea that their holiday centrepiece doesn’t even have to be a tree! Alternative Christmas trees allow you to have some creative fun and may even be a better choice for smaller spaces. Some popular alternatives to real and artificial trees include a single bare branch decorated with some ornaments, a Christmas succulent, and even simply stacking your present boxes in the shape of a tree.

The right decor will certainly get you in a festive mood and ready to celebrate the holidays. Stay on-trend this year or just try out some new ideas with the colour combos and other suggestions above.
