The calendar ticked November 1, a string of light bulbs went off in your head and, at once, you were ready to deck the halls. We’re with you, holiday lover—which is why we rounded up the 11 most au courant and downright dazzling decor trends this season.
11 Holiday Decorating Trends That Will Be Huge This Season
Published Nov 8, 2017
Blush Accents
Twas the year of blush pink. Unsurprisingly, trendy gals are swapping their red ribbons, buntings and blooms for something something rosier...and much less expected.
Get the look: Ferns Fairytale Silk Ribbon (from $13) and see more holiday inspiration at Monika Hibbs.
Whiteout Trees
Three cheers for 1950s nostalgia: flocked, or “snow"- frosted, trees are back (as are all-white lights and ornaments), and they're about to turn your living room into a winter wonderland.
Get the look: Sno-Bond Christmas Tree Snow Flock ($38) and see more holiday inspiration at French Country Cottage.
Poppy Talk
Cotton Everywhere
Call it the Joanna Gaines effect—these earthy, snow-like blooms are weaving their way into wreaths, mantle garlands and table arrangements.
See the full tutorial on Poppytalk.
Scandinavian Tabletops
Scandi-stoneware is having a major moment—which for holiday translates to chic, neutral tablescapes with minimalist decor schemes (bring on the tiny tree garnishes!).
Get the look: Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Stoneware Dinner Plate ($6) and see more holiday inspiration at Bo Bedre.
Candy Cane Crafts
Be still our Nutcracker-loving hearts: These holiday mascots are being flipped on their head—literally—and given new life as candle holders, focal points in evergreen arrangements and our favorite: place card holders.
Get the look: Old Time Candy Candy Canes ($2 for 12) and see more holiday inspiration at Camille Styles.
Wicker Tree Skirts
If you want your holiday tree to say, “welcome to my modern farmhouse,” consider a warm wicker tree collar or woven basket in lieu of traditional skirting.
Get the look: Crate & Barrel Abaca Tree Collar ($70) and see more holiday inspiration at Dreamy Whites.
Ice Vessels
It doesn’t get much prettier than wintergreens and berries frozen in ice. We’re especially loving this magical DIY as a Champagne cooler or as front porch hurricane lanterns.
See the full tutorial on Practically Functional.
Pops Of Black
Look for this moody hue to pepper holiday stripes, tartans, ginghams and ribbons this season. The effect is edgy and classic, all at the same time.
Get the look: Loon Peak Tartan Napkins ($23 for 6) and see more holiday inspiration at Table + Dine.
Bayleaf Greenery
Pines and firs are mainstays for runners, garlands and wreaths, but we’re all about the trend toward leafier holiday greenery—especially fragrant bayleaf.
Get the look: Williams-Sonoma Bay Leaf Garland (from $48) and see more holiday inspiration at Craftberry Bush.
Aunt Peaches
Chandelier “trees”
Trees are no longer the only place to hang your ornament collection from, guys: look to your chandelier as a whimsical focal point cum Christmas disco ball.
Get the look: kat + annie Blush Ornament Set ($9 for 25) and see more holiday inspiration at Aunt Peaches.
Understated And Organic
On the heels of hygge, many trendsetters are adapting a less-is-more mentality this year. Think simple winter greens in a pitcher, and a smattering of pinecones from the yard. Chic, indeed.
Get the look: Oriental Trading Pine Cones ($7 for 24) and see more holiday inspiration at Farmhouse on Boone.
