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.
