The holiday season is a great time for homeware brands. Homeowners flock to stores looking for ways to put a festive spin on their homes. Touching up your home is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit and also a good way to impress any dinner party guests. As trends change year after year, we thought it would be useful to bring you five interior design trends that will be a big hit this Christmas.
1. Oversized Christmas Trees
In 2024, everything’s bigger. From clothing to interior design, the supersize trend has swept almost every industry. This year, expect to see the celebs rocking the biggest Christmas trees you’ve ever seen. But this trend doesn’t have to be limited to the rich and famous; if you are looking to make a statement with your tree then big is best.
A 12ft tree would be considered extra large when it comes to Christmas trees. Although this will bring the added task of decorating an enormous tree. You’ll need to add some equally big baubles and a humongous tree topper to match if you opt for the supersized tree option.
If you are worried about the chore of decorating a 12ft tree, it may be worth researching some blog posts on how to decorate a big Christmas tree beforehand.
2. Bold Colours
Every interior design trend must come to an end at some point, and while it’s not the end of the road for monotone and minimalist just yet, there does seem to be a gradual shift towards bold colours and maximalism.
If your home is in need of a colour pop, Christmas is the best time to introduce some brighter tones. Classic candy cane red is a great way to add some festive tones to your home. Similarly, the earthy green of your tree could be introduced throughout your home for some additional festive feeling.
3. Retro Theme
Christmas is the perfect time of year for reflecting and reminiscing. Adding a touch of nostalgia through your decor is the perfect way to emphasise this. Cast your mind back to your grandparents’ homes around Christmas time and try to put your own twist on the interior design trends of years gone by.
If you celebrated any Christmas during the 70s and 80s, you were probably surrounded by glitter and sequins as the disco era was in full swing. Bringing this trend into the present day could help to bring those memories flooding back while also styling up your home.
Another great way to achieve a retro theme throughout your home is through the addition of vintage ornaments. From antique nutcrackers to ceramic gingerbread houses, you’ll find a nostalgic ornament for every style.
4. Door Decorating
When it comes to decorating your home this Christmas, your immediate thoughts probably turn to your living room, your hallway and your garden. But one area that shouldn’t be discounted in 2024 is your doorway!
Your front door is the first part of your home that your guests will see when they visit your home, so it makes sense to put a little more effort in. Christmas wreaths are the perfect addition to your front door. Consider the different options such as frosted wreaths and berry wreaths before determining which one works best for your home’s style.
In addition, don’t be afraid to go even further with your external decor. Outdoor trees surrounded by presents, decorative baskets and ornaments are a good way to bring even more attention to your home. If you’re fortunate enough to have an area that can be decorated with festive garlands then this is also a great way to spruce up the entrance to your home.
5. Handmade Decor
Homemade is well and truly on-trend. Whether it’s food, clothes or luxury Christmas ornaments, it’s a great time to be a business selling handmade goods. Speaking of Christmas ornaments, this is the perfect way to bring the handmade trend into your home this festive season.
While big name brands take over our TV screens with multi-million dollar Christmas ad campaigns, why not look to your local homeware stores for a more unique offering? There is also an abundance of small, independent e-commerce brands selling handmade Christmas decor online.
Supporting these small, local businesses won’t just leave you feeling good about yourself. It will also put a more personal touch on your home this Christmas as opposed to the many homes that opt for more popular, mass-produced Christmas decorations.
