Christmas is fast approaching and if you are like us then you will be thinking about getting the Christmas decorations down from the loft (or in from the garage) and deciding on where on Earth that tree is going to go! To help you out with your upcoming change of interior décor we have compiled a list of some of our favourite trends for Christmas 2025.
This year Christmas is going to be moodier, richer and far more individual than previous years. We are moving towards decorating and choosing styles that feel personal, nostalgic and full of character. Whether you prefer cosy natural textures, timeless elegance or playful styling, these 10 trends will inspire a home that feels festive without losing its personality.
1.Forest Christmas
Nature is dominating festive design this year, and the look is all about depth, texture and calm. Think pine greens, earthy browns and raw, organic materials. Natural garlands, mossy wreaths, wooden beads and subtly scented foliage bring a grounded atmosphere that works beautifully in both modern and traditional homes.
Want to create your own forest Christmas at home? Here are some ideas for you:
2.Moody Colours
Deep, dramatic colour is one of the standout themes for 2025. Expect rich inky blues, mulberry, charcoal and darkest green, paired with warm metallics. These tones instantly bring atmosphere and create a grown-up, sophisticated look.
If you are ready for a dark moody Christmas then have a look at some of our décor recommendations:
3.Pastel Christmas
Pastels are shaking off their spring reputation and making a soft, ethereal entrance into Christmas. Powder blue, blush pink, sage and muted lilac offer a fresher take on festive décor. Pastels make spaces feel light, whimsical, and playful. They work brilliantly for homes with young children, giving a magical feel without overwhelming the room.

4.Modern Art Deco
Art deco never really went away and this season it is getting a modern twist. Expect geometric patterns, smoked glass, mirrored finishes, and statement metallics. Gold and black remain timeless, but 2025 introduces emerald, teal and bronze into the mix. This style suits homes looking to add glamour without going overly traditional.
We have pulled together some of our favourite items to complete this look in your home:
7.Decoris Black and Gold Baubles from Next
5.Craftsmanship & Sustainable Christmas
The shift toward mindful spending is stronger than ever. Handmade, recycled, and thoughtfully sourced décor is taking centre stage. Clay ornaments, hand-knitted stockings, carved wooden pieces, and heirloom-quality garlands feel meaningful and last beyond a single season. This trend fits perfectly with families who want to cut clutter and invest in pieces with purpose.

6.Ralph Lauren Inspired Christmas
Think classic American luxury with a cosy British edge. Colours include navy, burgundy and hunter green with tartan patterns, leather textures, rustic woods, candlelight, wool blankets and mixed metals. This look is warm, elegant, and deeply comforting and it is reminiscent of a festive country estate. It will be great for traditional homes or anyone who prefers timeless over trendy.
Are you inspired by the Ralph Lauren Christmas trend? Here are some of our top picks to help you bring this look into your own home:

7.Gingerbread Décor
This trend is fun, nostalgic and family-friendly. Gingerbread-inspired décor blends cinnamon, caramel and cookie tones with whimsical shapes and edible accents. From gingerbread houses on your mantle to warm caramel-toned garlands and soft glowing lights, this trend creates a playful, comforting environment that children absolutely love.
We love this playful trend which can be used in so many ways. Have a look at some of our favourite gingerbread themed high street buys:
8.Vintage & Retro Christmas
Vintage looks are back, but not in the “random attic finds” way. They are curated and purposeful. Think retro colour palettes, old-fashioned glass baubles, flocked trees, tinsel garlands, and mid-century shapes. This style works brilliantly if you love a bit of nostalgia and want your Christmas décor to spark conversation and memories.
Do you love the idea of a nostalgic Christmas look? Here are some ways to bring back your childhood Christmas:
6.Mini Christmas Present Decorations from Baker Ross
9.Bronze & Copper Tones
Warm metallics continue to grow in popularity, and this year bronze and copper are stealing the show. Both of these tones bring warmth without the harshness of bright gold or silver. Use them through candleholders, tree ornaments, cutlery, tableware, or ribbon.
Bronze and copper are very versatile as they pair beautifully with greens, creams, blacks and natural textures.
There are so many lovely warm metallic décor pieces out there. Have a look at some of our favourites:

10.Maximalist Christmas
If subtlety is not your thing, 2025 fully supports you. Maximalism is about abundance: layered textures, bold prints, mixed colours, oversized ornaments, and a “more is more” philosophy. When this trend is done well, it feels intentional, joyful, and full of character. Choose a theme, repeat colours throughout the space, and let your personality shine through.
