As Christmas fast approaches, it is once again time to start thinking about those traditions that really mark the season for you and your family.

Welcome to our 2024 guide to Christmas décor, where we show you the latest festive decorating trends for luxury custom homes. Keep reading to discover the trends that will define this year’s holiday season, and let us help you to bring some Christmas magic into your home.
Maximalist Christmas
Say goodbye to the minimalist Christmas trends of the past few years and say hello to a maximalist Christmas. This trend can also be known as vintage or traditional Christmas and is a call-back to the decorations of past Christmases. This means a step away from minimalism, neutrals, and carefully coordinated colour themes and embracing an eclectic mix of decorations, bright colours, and leaning towards the warmth and vibrancy of Christmases past. Think: glowing multicolour lights on the tree, baubles in every colour of the rainbow, and gleaming tinsel strewn around the tree and each room. Designed to surround you in glittering Christmas cheer, this is one Christmas trend that will fill you with the magic of the season, and a healthy dose of nostalgia too.
Pastel Candyland
Create a Candyland of your own with a pastel theme for your Christmas décor. Gentle pinks, blues, greens, and yellows adorn your tree, while gorgeous pastel-coloured bunting and garlands bring warmth and a sense of wonder to the rest of your home. Embrace the sweetness of this theme with plenty of frosted and candy inspired decorations too!
Bows and Ribbons Galore
Following on from the bows trend we have seen for accessories this year, we present the bows and ribbons Christmas trend. Picture Christmas trees adorned with bows of all sizes; colour coordinated to match whatever your theme is. Bow garlands, bow Christmas toppers, bow tree decorations, and bow table adornments. This is a very current and on-trend decorating tip, one for the fashion-forward trendsetters to try out this Christmas season.
Handmade Decorations
Put your own unique spin on your Christmas decorations this year by embracing handmade décor. From handmade felt decorations to good old-fashioned paper chains, this is one trend that lets you show off your creativity and get in touch with your crafty side. We can recommend hosting a ‘Christmas crafting night’, where you gather with family or friends to work on your creations together, complete with Christmas music and Christmas snacks. Afterwards, enjoy the decorations you have created knowing the love and work that went into them. This is also one trend that can be as cheap and cheerful as you want to make it, so it is a way to add to your Christmas décor on a budget!
Metallic Chic
Put your own spin on the ever-popular metallic theme this year with metallic chic – and the tip for this year is to mix your metals. This sophisticated theme will bring a touch of glamour to your home this Christmas and 2024 sees gold, silver, brass, and rose gold being used in conjunction with each other to ensure that your home is gleaming and glittering from every angle. If you are after a more minimalist Christmas vibe, this is one trend that might be for you – focus in on those metals and enjoy a classy and elegant result.
A Cosy, Country Christmas
Following on from the cottage-core trend that have been seen in 2024, a lot of countrified and cosy Christmas décor is making an appearance this year, too. This is one theme that you can really make your own, with the main part of the brief being simply: cosy, whatever that means to you. Inspired by the warmth and comfort of country living, the trend includes lots of warm neutrals and natural elements, along with pops of deep forest green and traditional red. Glowing candlelight, washes of white and lots of festive greenery add the cosiness, bringing a cottage-core country Christmas into your home this season.
