Christmas trends 2019

December is now in sight and you have no excuses to keep your Christmas decoration box in the basement. If your decoration set is a messy pile of the things you have accumulated throughout the years, the challenge is now to assemble them to create that traditional Christmas cosy atmosphere.

Read this article to see the 2019 trends we’ve picked to bring the Christmas magic into your homes.

Christmas tree

Whether you choose to go for the nostalgic scent of the pine branches of a Norway spruce or invest in a bushy and practical artificial tree, the choice is yours!

If you go for it’s faux brother, there are great new additions that might be interesting to consider. To save up for the trouble of installing Christmas tree LEDs every year, why not buy a tree with integrated LED bulbs.

If you going for the snowscape theme, frosted branches will add that missing texture and complete the look.

Themes

Once you have picked your Christmas tree, the next step is to choose a theme. My advice here is to keep it simple.

Here on the right we have one of John Lewis 2019 Christmas decor, the snowscape theme. Combine frosty white, eucalyptus green, warm lighting and play around with soft and hard textures to achieve the look.

Add metallic details with silver baubles and try to mix shiny and mat materials.

Christmas is associated with nostalgia and childhood memories, so a good option is to keep it traditional.

You can use jewel tones, such as ruby red, and mix it with teal and lush greens. Add details of gold and copper to reflect the lighting and convey an inviting and cosy atmosphere.

Bauble sets are affordable and useful to add textures and colours to the design, they can be used as decoration on your tables and coffee tables too!

And if you’re not sure yet, just match your theme with existing upholstery.

Metallic details

This year is all about luxurious and glamorous, and that counts for Christmas trends too. You’ll be finding diverse metallic decor in shops that will really add to the whole feel.

Make it shine! To get the complete Christmas look, you need to touch all senses; smell, touch, vision, sound and taste. Lighting is one of the best and simplest ways to convey the magical, Christmas feeling.

So, reflect your light with shiny materials and create that sparkly fireplace atmosphere in your living room.

Bring the outside in

Whether you’re on a budget or not, DIYs are always a good idea. Christmas this year is all about bringing nature inside. You can lay you tables with dried and fresh plants which will offer an inviting and festive scent.

Create a centre piece on your coffee table or dining table with nuts, pine cones, holly, cinnamon sticks and dried fruits. But most of all, just have fun with it and make it YOUR perfect Christmas environment filled with love.
