Hottest Holiday Décor Trends for 2025
The holidays are a time of warmth, celebration and home-coming. For homeowners thoughtful décor can elevate the comfort, appeal and emotional resonance of a space. As the season advances, these are the décor trends making waves in 2025.
Trend 1: Moody Jewel Tones & Soft Metallics
This year we’re seeing a rich shift away from purely bright red & green to deeper, more elegant palettes. Think forest green, midnight blue, burgundy, charcoal, paired with brass, antique copper or rose gold metallics.
How to use it:
Replace or accent standard ornaments with pieces in deep jewel hues and metallic finishes.
Use velvet or velour ribbons on garlands, wreaths or tree skirts for a luxe touch.
Trend 2: Nature-Inspired Textures & Materials
Bringing the outdoors in is still going strong — natural wood, pinecones, moss, birch, raw fabrics and so on. These elements add warmth, authenticity and cozy charm.
How to use it:
Use wreaths, garlands or centerpieces with real or realistic botanicals.
Mix in wooden or rattan décor pieces; avoid everything looking plastic.
Trend 3: Personalized & Heirloom-Style décor
Decorations that tell a story, mix with family pieces, or look like they belong across seasons are especially on trend.
How to use it:
Use ornaments or décor that have meaning (even placeholder items) to convey “this is a home” rather than just a set up.
Pull out a beloved piece and style around it — it increases emotional connection.
Trend 4: Oversized & Statement Décor
“Go-big” décor is trending: oversized ornaments, large statement pieces, ceiling installations, dramatic lighting.
How to use it:
For larger homes or open-floor plans, consider a bold focal piece — e.g., an oversized ornament installation in a foyer.
For smaller spaces, even one standout piece (giant bow, large wreath) can elevate the decor.
Trend 5: Sustainability & Long-Term Use
Decor that is reusable, made of quality materials, has a story or is eco-conscious is increasingly desirable.
How to use it:
Purchase décor items that will last beyond just the holiday season — e.g., reusable wreaths, LED lighting, natural materials.
In blog content or marketing copy, highlight how décor choices reflect long-term value and care (which buyers subconsciously register).
Trend 6: Mix & Match, Eclectic Layers
Instead of everything matching perfectly, the 2025 look is more personal: layered textures, mixed eras, combining vintage items with fresh pieces.
How to use it:
Mix heirloom ornaments with contemporary ones, or layer fabrics (knit throws + velvet cushions + faux fur).
Don't over-style — slight variety gives authenticity.
Use odd numbers when grouping décor (three items, five items) for visual interest.
Holiday décor is more than seasonal fluff — it sets a tone, creates an ambiance, and helps your home feel memorable. By aligning décor with these 2025 trends, homeowners can give their spaces an edge: stylish yet timeless, authentic yet elevated.
