PICKING A POPULAR CHRISTMAS DECOR THEME

HOLIDAYS

Considering or trying to narrow down your Christmas theme? Let's explore some popular themes!

Why is it important to have a theme? It will help you focus when shopping for Christmas decorations and avoid overloading on every single type of Christmas decor out there.

CHINOISERIE

The Chinoiserie, blue and white look (with red and green optional). It’s a Euroasian influence, mixing the European love for Chinese antiques. I personalized these Amazon ornaments, see how!

CHINOISERIE CHRISTMAS

Blue and white

Orange sliced garland

Blue ribbons hanging of wreaths

Metallics, in bows and ornaments

Red bows on topiaries or ginger jars

Candy Christmas

It’s cute, happy and reminds you of a candy store and nostalgic childhood! Vibrant colors, pastels makeup a candy Christmas. The colors can be a mix of candy colors or muted pastels.

CANDY CHRISTMAS

Glitter

Candy shaped ornaments

Sugar dusted wreaths and trees

Candy canes

Pastel colors, yellow, soft blue, mint green, pink, colorful!

SCANDINAVIAN

Clean, a bit modern because it’s pretty bare, this is a Christmas style that still embraces a cabin/farmhouse style. I think of hand made wood ornaments, branches, birch, and items that look like an artisan made them.

German Christmas pyramids

Wood beads

Wooden toys and houses

Red, green and white

Birch wood, clean modern shapes

WOODLAND

Perfect for any home, especially homes who have a farmhouse style, or you live in the woods (lucky you!). Or maybe you like the cute critter ornaments and brushed bottle animals like I do. It’s also easy to make this look neutral just by removing red.

Bottle brush animals

Wood beads

Green, browns, white and red

Faux fur skirt or textures

Wicker, wood, natural textures

OLD WORLD

I call this red and green classic Christmas that looks lived in, so classic! It has great use of mercury glass, cut glass, and crystal, and you can even throw in some classic red adds green Christmas plaid! It reminds me a bit of a Ralph Lauren classic look and feel.

OLD WORLD

Plaid or tartan fabrics

Classic red, green and gold

Cut glass crystal

Mercury glass

Velvet textures

Of course there are no rules, mix it up how you like! My style is between old world and Chinoiserie, have fun with it and Merry Christmas!
