  1. Bows Make a Bold Return—With Dramatic, Luxe Tails

In 2025, bows are more than just a finishing touch—they’re taking center stage on Christmas trees and beyond. This season, expect to see large, luxurious bows with long, flowing tails made from rich fabrics like velvet, satin, and metallic weaves. Whether draped down the branches of a tree, tied onto wreaths, or woven into garlands, these statement bows bring elegance and movement to holiday decor. The longer tails add a sense of whimsy and grandeur, creating a layered, couture-inspired look that transforms even the simplest greenery into a showpiece.

  1. Nostalgia & Coziness Reign with John Lewis-Inspired Themes

    This Christmas, comfort and storytelling come together in a wave of nostalgic charm. Inspired by the beloved John Lewis holiday themes, decorators are leaning into collections that evoke warmth, tradition, and wonder. Think Heirloom Splendour, Enchanting Tales, Ancient Wonders, and Worldly Treasures—themes that blend vintage details with rich textures and soft lighting. Classic nutcrackers, velvet ribbons, glass baubles, and ornaments with storybook character create a mood that feels both luxurious and familiar. It’s not just about decor—it’s about telling a story that feels like home.

  1. Natural Elements Bring Texture, Calm, and a Breath of Fresh Greenery

In 2025, Christmas decor is embracing the beauty of the outdoors with natural elements that bring both texture and tranquility. Wood, wool, woven fibers, and earthy ceramics are showing up in ornaments, tablescapes, and mantle displays. Lush greenery—both faux and fresh—adds life to spaces without overwhelming them. Think eucalyptus garlands, pine sprigs in vases, and handwoven stockings that feel artisanal and grounded. This trend leans into simplicity, highlighting the peaceful side of the season with a focus on sustainable, nature-inspired touches that make every room feel calm, clean, and connected to the earth.

  1. Mixed Metallics and Deep Jewel Tones Elevate Holiday Palettes

This year’s holiday color story is all about balance and richness. Deep jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, and garnet create a luxurious foundation, some with velveteen finishes, while soft natural hues—such as ivory, moss, and slate—add an earthy elegance. What pulls it all together? A sophisticated mix of aged brass, pewter, and muted golds. These metals don’t scream for attention; they add subtle shine and depth that feels curated, not flashy. Whether used in ornaments, candleholders, or ribbon trims, the combination creates a layered, upscale look that feels both festive and timeless.
