This Year's Holiday Decor Trends

Farmhouse Neutrals - Whether it's farmhouse whites or mid-century modern blacks and greys, neutral decor isn't going away this year, which means neutral Christmas decorations are in. Searches for farmhouse Christmas ideas have increased 400% in the last five years, according to Google Trends. The best Christmas decorations are those that complement your existing color scheme. If red and green aren't your usual year-round colors, white, black, navy, natural wood tones, and other neutrals can all look just as festive as more traditional Christmas colors.

Nostalgic Decor - Living through a global pandemic has taught us to appreciate the little things in life, so we're fully embracing nostalgic trends, such as the iconic ceramic Christmas trees that have made a major comeback in recent years. We aren't the only ones scouring Grandma's attic for vintage holiday decorations, according to Instagram: There are over 13,000 posts with the hashtag #CeramicChristmasTree, and people are already sharing their finds for this year.

Decked Out Front Doors - Pinterest predicts that door decor will be especially popular this holiday season. "Pinners are decorating their front doors to express holiday cheer while staying in, with searches for 'Christmas door decorations' increasing 125 percent," says Swasti Sarna, Pinterest's insights manager. Even if you're spending more time at home, decorating the front door is a simple way to spread holiday cheer to the rest of your neighborhood.

Metals - This amusing element is ideal for adding to your holiday cheer. Consider oversized jingle bells, tabletop ornaments, and tin ornaments. Don't have the guts to add some large-scale pieces to your tree? Consider a mixed metal theme with an emphasis on golds, silvers, and platinum.
