The top Christmas Decorating Trends for 2020 and 2021

Ready to decorate home for Christmas?

Definitely this Christmas 2020 will be different from the past ones.

And never like in this year it feels really difficult to imagine what will be the trends for Christmas 2021. From the other side, however, it’s fun to think forward and to me always very inspiring to look for new ideas and think about what can be in the next year.

 

This year again, after last year’s post success, I asked an expert – Kristel Kuipers – to give you some extra inspiration and insights in the latest Christmas decorating Trends .

Kristel in fact, has an impressive track record as a sales and market/trend specialist in home deco and she is sharing today with us the top 5 trends she spotted in her researches. Driven by her passion for retail, Kristel has started her own consultancy agency early this year through which she supports retailers in responding successfully to new market developments, by creating new concepts and through (sustainable) product design. When she isn’t glued to her pc screen she spends her time travelling, with photography and learning Italian. As she loves to meet new people please feel free to reach out to her instagram here

Christmas Decorating Trend 2 /  Gather together

At Christmas time, we spend our days with family and friends in our homes filled with delicious food, laughter and decorated with jewel and spice tones, bringing a rich yet cosy look to our homes.

The moody colours make this trend cosy and cocooning, whether your style is classic or modern.

Dark Springs as a new alternative to the classic black combined with warm colours.

Christmas Decorating Trend 1 /  Winter wishes

 

The colours of a beautiful winter sky, early in the morning.

Verdant foliage and frozen shades, nestle together to create an elegant, feminine theme.

It works both for a romantic or contemporary interior. Be bold and add a dark bottle green, this will give the theme a bit more spark.

Think: soft plaids, honey comb ornaments and felt animals.

.

Christmas Decorating Trend 2 / Starry Night

 

The splendor of a cold Christmas night under the stars.

By mixing cool and warm tones, this theme creates a modern, calm and minimalistic atmosphere into your home.

Think: Metal, velvet, marble, zodiac signs and abstract faces.

Christmas Decorating Trend 3 / Christmas spice

 

 

A family walk in the forest on Christmas day.

Warming shades of reds and orange, with rich, verdant greens are giving us a northern feeling.

Think: wood, ceramics, wool, chunky knits and (faux) fur.

christmas decorating trend 2 | RUST

 

The metallic trend lately became warmer and less shiny. The rust color recalls that one of the oxidized iron and, with its particular hue between red, orange and brown, it is another modern and unconventional color to decorate home this Christmas

christmas decorating trend 3 | WABI SABI

 

I think that the Wabi Sabi Japanese word -the vision a beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete” -is perfect to reasume in two words the current aesthetic and the mood we are going to see next year as well. The feeling is given by raw surfaces, by a design focused more on the material aspect: you can easily put a little bit of this mood into your Christmas decor by choosing objects with a new texture, by adding imperfect and wrinkled fabrics, by choosing handmade ceramics for your table. Colors are muted and raw as well, grey above all.

christmas decorating trend 5 | MOODY

 

Even if for me Christmas is still in white, moody and dark colors are now the trendiest way to decorate home and to decorate for Christmas as well. I think also that moody athmospheres are much more realistic for the winter season and it’s long nights, right?

christmas decorating trend 6 | RUSTIC

 

Raw woods and natural green, better if in dark hues: the latest Christmas decorations are simple but not minimalist, green but not too much green. Don’t forget to add some natural green, from spure and fir tree,  on your Christmas home and table!
