It’s that time of year again when people are starting to set up their Christmas trees and decorate their homes. For the last few years, I’ve been lucky enough to have my friend Parker Simmons (Wrap Star Atlanta) style my tree, and she is incredible! If you haven’t booked with her yet, you should do it soon she fills up quickly! I recently had a great conversation with her about the latest holiday trends, and she shared some exciting tips for this season!
The latest Christmas tree decorations for 2024 embrace a fusion of timeless traditions and contemporary style, combining classic elegance with innovative design. Check back to see what Parker comes up with for my tree this time around. It’s so much fun because she never tells me what she’s going to do! Here’s a rundown of the newest trends in holiday décor for your tree this season…
1. Minimalist and Neutral Tones
•Neutral and earthy tones—such as white, beige, and soft greens—create a serene, understated look. Minimalist decorations like natural wood ornaments, dried flowers, and simple garlands give a calm, elegant vibe.
2. Nature-Inspired Decor
•Bringing the outdoors inside is a popular trend, with ornaments like pinecones, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and even branches of eucalyptus. This style pairs well with a neutral color palette for a warm, rustic effect.
3. Monochromatic Trees
•Decorating in a single color, or various shades of one color, creates a modern and cohesive look. Shades of blue, silver, or even deep red are popular choices. This trend often includes matching lights for a sleek finish.
4. Vintage Glam
•Nostalgic ornaments in retro colors like teal, blush, and mustard, along with tinsel garlands and shiny baubles, give a vintage vibe. This trend leans into holiday nostalgia with touches of old-fashioned glam.
5. Sustainable and DIY Decor
•Many are choosing eco-friendly options, from recycled or upcycled ornaments to homemade decorations using sustainable materials like wood, paper, and fabric. DIY elements like homemade garlands and hand-painted ornaments add a personal touch.
6. Oversized Ornaments
•Large, statement ornaments are in style, adding drama to your tree. These can be bold colors, oversized baubles, or unique shapes like stars, snowflakes, or even animal figurines, making the tree feel more playful.
7. Textured Ribbon
•Using wide, textured ribbons to wrap the tree or cascade down the branches adds a soft, luxurious look. Velvet and burlap ribbons are particularly popular, especially when layered with lights for extra depth.
8. Flocked and Frosted Trees
•Trees with a snowy, frosted look give a winter wonderland feel. Flocked trees look beautiful with pastel-colored ornaments or soft metallics to keep the snowy effect in focus.
9. Black and White Decor
•For a bold, modern look, black and white ornaments and decor make a striking statement. This trend pairs well with metallics or subtle pops of color like red or green.
10. Whimsical Themes
•From candy-themed decorations to fantasy-inspired trees with unicorns or fairytale characters, fun themes bring a sense of joy and playfulness. This trend is great for families and makes the tree a memorable centerpiece.
These trends allow for a range of creative and stylish trees, whether you prefer a classic look or something unexpected.
