Christmas tree decorating ideas and trends for 2023
Warm Nuetrals
The neutral home aesthetic has carried over into holiday decor, and there’s no sign of it slowing down. Shades of gold, brown and ivory are mixed with organic textures to achieve this popular look.
Vintage Inspired Christmas
The holidays are a time for nostalgia and old family traditions. Growing up, our tree was full of handmade clay, paper and wood ornaments—each one with a story. There’s something charming and nostalgic about mismatched ornaments collected throughout the years. Reminiscing on the good old days will never go out of style, so go ahead and embrace those sentimental homemade ornaments.
Sparse and Minimalist Trees
Gaining popularity in recent years, sparse and minimalist trees are the antithesis to the lush, full trees that have traditionally reigned supreme. Reminiscent of Scandinavian style, these modest trees look as if they could have just been cut down from the backyard. They provide a fresh look and a departure from the conventional fuller trees.
Flocked Christmas Trees
Dreaming of a white Christmas? A flocked tree may be for you. Flocked trees gained popularity in the 1950s and 60s, and they’ve recently become more common on social media. These trees add an elegant style and a snowy, wintery feel to Christmas celebrations. Over the years, the technology and techniques for flocking artificial trees have evolved, resulting in various styles and designs of flocked Christmas trees available today.
Tinsel Christmas Trees
Here’s a trend that you’ve probably noticed on your social media feed recently…
Dating back to the 1600s and made popular in the 1950s, tinsel has had a resurgence over the past couple years. Traditionally, tinsel was used to reflect candlelight on the tree, making it appear more vibrant and magical. Thankfully, we’ve left the real candles in the past, but many are hopping back on the tinsel train.
Bows and ribbon
There’s just something endearingly sweet and classic about a bow on Christmas. Whether they’re used as an accent or a focal point, you’ll find bows and ribbon on many trees today. Bows can be a more cost effective alternative to ornaments and garland, as they just require a bit of ribbon. You can create them from any color, size or style ribbon, making them an easy and simple way to express your creativity.
