Christmas 2023 focuses on beautiful warmth in trend-led holiday decoration styles from years past, embellished with a contemporary flair. The biggest selling service or product this year comes from nature. Natural holiday decorations consist of wooden ornaments, pine cones, fresh greenery, and garlands of dried orange or cinnamon sticks. Add a few fairy lights, and the look becomes a glimmering, rustic, cozy wonderland. For those desiring a more modern twist and a less complicated vibe, Christmas 2023 does that, too. A neutral white and cream palette with earth tones works perfectly—complimented by gold or silver candlesticks and a chic shaded tree. Are you a designer’s dream? Or, get ready to have a blast! Old Christmas colors are red and emerald green, but fuchsia, cobalt blue, and gold in accents punch things up a bit. Jumbo ornaments, yards of ribbon, and secondary small accent Christmas trees in any color work well. On the other hand, there seems to be a trend in minimalism and soft, cozy colors a la Huge. Here, knitted afghans and holiday throw pillows do the trick but are taken up a notch with scented candles—cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla especially—and even more so with fireplace mantles. Whether one has a real (or electric) smoking fireplace, plug-in candles, and string lights or little figurines, the ambiance is lovely. Christmas decorating in 2024 also includes a few technological innovations. Lights that connect to your app and change colors based on your desired mood, LED projectors that cast Christmas images upon your walls, and voice-activated decorations all create an engaged, contemporary atmosphere within your home, especially for you and the kids. In 2024, we’re also focusing on sustainability. Many options are available to preserve the environment. Ornaments made from recycled materials, potted live trees instead of cut ones, wrapping paper that is recyclable or reusable, or avoids paper altogether are all great to see and great for Mother Nature. This Christmas, try to find a theme that suits your decor sensibilities!
