With Christmas just around the corner, it won’t be long until you’re climbing into the attic and digging through last year’s Christmas decorations. But with sparkles and sequins at every turn, we wouldn’t blame you for wanting to add a few more to your collection.

Looking for inspo? You’ve come to the right place! Here’s our list of the biggest Christmas decor trends for 2026…

1. Adorable Bows

Bows have soared in popularity over the last few years and are set to continue as a huge decor trend this Christmas.

If you fancy trying your hand at some DIY, buy some ribbon from your local haberdashery, create a bow and attach it to a candlestick or Christmas tree as decoration. Or if you want to make more of a statement, go bold with this stunning velvet bow.

2. Jewel Tones

Jewel tones are bringing a rich, luxurious feel to Christmas tree decor this year, with emerald green, sapphire blue and deep burgundy taking centre stage.

These saturated shades add warmth to your festive styling, creating a look that feels both opulent and inviting. Opt for satin, velvet or glass decorations like these stunning drop tree baubles.

3. Delicate Snowflakes

If you prefer your Christmas decor understated, you can’t go wrong with dainty snowflakes.

White, silver or gold works best, whether they’re embroidered onto cushions and table runners or carved into napkin rings. Perfect if you love subtle details without trying too hard.

Our Deco Luxe Christmas range features more of these metallic details to elevate your festive displays.

4. Simple Scandi

Scandi is a consistent trend we see every year – and for good reason.

If you prefer a more neutral and minimalist aesthetic, take inspiration from the Nordics this Christmas and opt for whitewashed woods, chunky knit throws and lush green garlands.

This wood tree ornament fits the trend perfectly and would look great on a mantlepiece or sideboard.

5. Nutcrackercore

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have ‘nutcrackercore’ – a term coined to describe the latest whimsical Christmas trend.

Traditional dolls like nutcrackers, toy soldiers and ballerinas are all the rage right now, particularly if you love a ‘more is more’ approach to Christmas decor.

If your shelves are already full of wooden figurines, continue the trend on your sofa with this classic nutcracker cushion.
