With Christmas fast approaching, many are starting to put up their festive decor in a bid to embrace all things cosy and warm this season. If you are looking to achieve a stylish yet cosy festive aesthetic this season, we’ve put together our guide to the top tips and home decor inspiration, to make things a little easier.
Choosing the perfect Christmas tree and decorations
Finding a high-quality Christmas tree is a good place to start, as you’ll want to ensure that your Christmas decorations are given the best opportunity to shine. Look for a tree that’s the right size and shape for your desired space, and choose one that looks as real as possible. This will help to ensure that your display looks amazing, no matter what colour scheme you choose.
Home decor trends for 2025
There are so many different home decor trends to look out for this Christmas. One of the main trends that’s currently taking over TikTok and my current fave is the Ralph Lauren inspired trend. You can easily put your own spin on this festive trend by adding pops of burgundy-toned decorations to your Christmas tree.
Pair this with gold and iridescent baubles, deep red bows, and a splash of tartan for a stunning, sophisticated trend that still feels cosy and welcoming. You can really play around with this theme and make it your own; there are no set rules, and the colour palette will complement a wide variety of home decor choices.
Subtle yet stylish festive home decor touches
Don’t be tempted to go overboard with festive decor; sometimes all you need are a few key accent pieces. Ceramic ornaments like these forest green-toned Christmas trees add a touch of sophistication, but you can add in softer, more playful touches like these sweet felt mice, after all, if Christmas isn’t the time to embrace our inner child, then when is?!
You can even get creative with how you display your food and sweet treats during festive parties and family gatherings this Christmas. These gorgeous wooden two-tiered serving stands with a festive star on top are an excellent way to bring in some seasonal cheer, whilst remaining in keeping with every type of home decor choice. Add a sprig of fresh herbs on the side or a floral decoration for added colour and cheer.
It’s all about the lighting
Creating a cosy ambiance is key to helping your home feel warm and welcoming this festive season. A trail of sparkling lights placed delicately along your mantle, and warm-toned lighting helps to ensure that nothing feels cold or dull. Weave your lighting naturally around any ornaments for an easy and quick Christmas decor fix.
Don’t forget the bedroom decor
You can still bring a touch of cosy festive decor into the bedroom this season, and it doesn’t have to mean dragging your tree upstairs! Something as simple as buying a new set of Christmas bedding can be just as effective. Think about layering up different textures. This gorgeous Scandi-inspired bedset looks gorgeous when paired with fluffy blankets and Christmas cushions.
In short, you don’t have to overcomplicate your home decor this Christmas to make a big impact. Just the right amount of key finishing touches can create the cosiest of seasonal spaces with minimal effort!
