Christmas 2021: the decor trends to follow

A big trend for this Christmas is the use of asymmetrical artificial pine trees. Gone are the days when everything was wanted to be perfect, in an almost supernatural way. Today, we look for more natural things and embrace imperfection as part of a living decor.

Another trend, which has gained in popularity over the past few years, is the use of more than one pine tree at this time. So many people choose to place at least two, one in the living room and one at the entrance to the house. But you can place as many pine trees as you like, and wherever you like, to add more magic to the whole house.

Colors such as silver and gold will be the soul of the party, with decorations exclusively in these trendy colors. The contrast between the cool hue of silver and the warm hue of gold helps to create a decor that is harmonious, elegant and very festive and evocative of the time.

We are increasingly concerned about excessive consumerism and sustainability, and this is also reflected in the Christmas decorations. A big trend is the use of natural decorations, such as pine branches and pine cones, in the decoration of the table or corners of the house. The reuse of materials to create new decorations is another big trend.

White is very popular in decorating in general, and the same is true at this time. It uses different shades of white and textures in the same color to evoke a snowy scene indoors, which blends in very well with the magic of this era. The combination of tones and textures helps to create more life and depth in your home decor.

In the spirit of sustainability, the use of “do it yourself” (DIY) style decorations is increasingly common, as it allows us to reuse and reuse old decorations and things we have at home. It's also a great way to get the whole family involved in decorating the home for Christmas.

Let's face it, there's no better way to create an appealing and comfortable environment than lighting candles. This year's Christmas decoration incorporates this type of elements in force, with the candles being placed in the most diverse places in the house (and even as a centerpiece) in order to create a more intimate atmosphere at this time.

Traditionally, we used some ribbons, lights and balls to decorate the pine tree, some of those leftover ornaments to make a centerpiece, and little else was done at Christmas. But a big trend is to decorate the entire house, using not only things that evoke Christmas (like ribbons and wreaths) but also evoke winter itself, with small wooden cabins or deer painted in a metallic color.
