2026 Christmas décor trends: 5 looks to inspire your holiday home
If you're on the hunt for inspiration, retailers like Pottery Barn, Anthropologie and Balsam Hill have plenty of options to help bring these Christmas décor trends to life.
In 2026, Christmas decorating is all about personal style, blending various trends to create a unique holiday home. Scandinavian-inspired looks emphasize simplicity, natural materials, and a soft neutral palette, featuring warm whites, wooden accents, subtle greenery, and minimal decorations. Playful, over-the-top aesthetics are another popular choice, characterized by bold colors, oversized ornaments, layered patterns, and statement accessories such as colorful baubles, abundant garlands, and a tree filled with personality.
Traditional holiday motifs, vintage-inspired ornaments, and classic seasonal colors evoke nostalgia, with rich reds, forest greens, plaid patterns, and familiar festive characters bringing a sense of holiday cheer to the home. For a more whimsical approach, unexpected shapes, novelty ornaments, and playful details are incorporated, including food-inspired decorations, quirky characters, and candy-colored accents.
A glamorous Christmas can be achieved through rich fabrics, metallic finishes, crystal details, and sophisticated color combinations, featuring oversized velvet or satin bows, shimmering ornaments, and elegant accents that make a statement.
