Christmas Decoration Trends 2019
When thinking about Christmas decorations, the first things that come to mind are lavishly decorated Christmas trees and red-green table and other decorations. We all have some beloved Christmas decorations that we happily take out of the cabinet and display every year. But if you'd like to try something new this year or if these are your first holidays in your own home, then this post is just for you.
Less is more
An environmentally conscious approach has reached the Christmas world. One of this year's trends suggests using fewer decorations – they are visually lighter and airier. However, the lightness is balanced by festive colors: dark blue and burgundy, which replace green and bright red this year.
Natural and organic style
Related to the previous suggestion is the natural Scandinavian style, which places branches brought from the forest, pine cones and other natural elements in the place of honor instead of gold and tinsel.
Collect branches from the forest or garden and place them in a large floor vase, you can arrange a bag full of pine cones on a bowl around candles. On the windowsill, place beautiful transparent bottles with simple branches inside.
When using natural style, use neutral colors: gray, beige, white, with dark red or dark blue as accents. In addition to wood, materials like fabric also work well. Perhaps you'll decorate your tree this year with ribbons?
Metal is still in, but a bit duller
Metal use is still fashionable, but instead of shiny gleaming items, use slightly worn and dulled metal pieces this year. Patina, rusty and oxidized metal are this year's keywords.
Choose one main color, such as burgundy, dark blue or forest green, and combine it with metallic colors.
Vintage
Vintage, which has been in the picture for several years now, hasn't gone anywhere this year either. If your home has modern interior design, it pairs very well with some vintage pieces. Put into use old Christmas decorations inherited from your grandmother or see what interesting things vintage online shops have to offer.
Bring Christmas to other rooms
The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen shouldn't be left out of Christmas at all. A plaid shower curtain? A Christmas patterned bedspread? Christmas stockings hanging on the kitchen cabinet doors? Aren't those great ideas!
And candles! Of course candles everywhere. Especially in the bathroom. And in the bedroom. And absolutely certainly in the kitchen.
Sunflowers
Yes, you read that correctly – sunflowers and other flowers have been making their way into Christmas decorations for quite a few years now, but if you look at Pinterest right now, it seems like there's been a wonderful floral explosion. Search for "floral christmas tree" and see how many wonderful things have been created.
In summary
There are many styles in fashion ranging from Scandinavian simplicity to luxurious use of metal. The purpose of decorations is to make your home cozy and comfortable, so if you didn't find any of this year's trends to your liking, decorate your home with peace of mind just as you always have. Christmas is a holiday of traditions and there's no way to go wrong here.
