While we all love the nostalgic holiday decor, it’s fun to bring in a fresh twist of holiday magic. You won’t have to buy all new decor or an entire craft store, but a few swaps and some creativity can transform your space. Here are some viral festive looks and how you can make them your own.
- A Cozy ’90s Classic Christmas: Decorate with flannel stockings, red-and-green patterns, and evergreen garlands galore for that classic “home-for-the-holidays" feel. Prioritize depth and substance over synthetic cheer by using velvet ribbons, plaid throws, and warm chestnut tones.
- Little Women, Big Holiday: Incorporate wild forest greenery, handmade paper decorations, and dried citrus garlands with wool, linen, and wood textures for a fresh feel. Go outside and collect magnolia leaves and pine sprigs for the perfect natural decor.
- Glow-Key Glam: Instead of glittery chaos, think of mercury glass, old-world bulbs, and soft glimmers for a quiet, natural sparkle.
- Metal Mix-and-Mingle: For a richer, more collected feel, pair polished shine with romantic patina. Upgrade to look from typical holiday decor to feel more sophisticated and classic.
- Evergreen Dream Scene: Deep green brings calm, harmony, and warmth. Keep the color palette tight with rich greens, earthy browns, and seasonal scents like cedar or pine.
