The countdown to Christmas has officially begun and we’re so excited to get started on our festive plans! This year it’s all about making up for lost time and creating memories with friends and family that are extra special.
It’s time to start sorting out your decorations and decide what look you’re going for this year. Do you stick to a strict colour scheme or are you more of a mix and match type? Will you be giving your collection a complete overhaul or maybe just adding a few new pieces to freshen things up?
Well, we’re here to help you create your very own winter wonderland, whatever your style may be. Take a look at our gorgeous Christmas trends to offer a little inspiration.
Winter Lights
Go for a calm serene look inspired by the natural beauty of winter light with this beautiful collection. Subtle shades of frosty white and iridescent pastels, accented with delicate pearls and crystals will transport your decor to the snowy forests of Lapland in an instant.
What could be more angelic than these three pre-lit glass angels from Home Reflections? They would look gorgeous placed on a side table next to the nibbles, or taking centre stage on your festive dinner table.
These light-up trees from K by Kelly Hoppen are also beautiful ornaments to add to your festive decor. As well as dressing your tree, it’s nice to place pieces around your home too, to really set the scene. We love this greenery collection from Alison Cork too – perfect for that snowy, nature-inspired look. You can choose between different faux foliage designs, each decorated with white berries and silver baubles. They will look lovely on your mantelpiece or dining table.
Alison Cork’s pre-lit branch is another beautiful piece to give your festive decor a touch of woodland chic. It comes with a hook so you can hang it from the ceiling or against a wall for a striking look set with pretty LED lights.
If you’re looking for something bold to add to your tree, then these paper stars are ideal. They come in a sparkly silver finish and will look fabulous adorning your tree or even hung from doorways or in your windows to create a gorgeous display for passers by.
Looking for some new lights? These pretty strands won’t disappoint. We love these twinkling starburst ones that can draped indoors or out, and these metal snowflake strand lights are so pretty too and ideal for keeping within your nature-inspired theme.
Pre-lit decorations are so on trend this year. They have that added magic of drawing us in with shimmering, twinkling lights that are so enchanting. We adore this festive crackled glass sphere that lights up, displaying a pretty Christmas scene.
We can always count on the JM by Julien Macdonald collection to bring some glamour to the party. These crystal lotus flower tea-light holders are stunning and will look great lit up as you relax in your living room. Or why not try these beautiful crystal swan decorations to add serenity to your festive decor.
Merry and Bright
If a traditional Christmas theme is your thing, then this is the look for you. This collection blends classic red accents with rich greens and elegant gold decorations to awaken nostalgic memories of the cosy festive period.
And it all begins with your Christmas tree! This Alison Cork Sugar Spruce artificial tree is so easy to set up and features memory wire branches that are pre-lit with pretty fairy lights. It’s a great option if you’re looking to move away from a real tree this year and go for a fuss-free option.
Once you’ve got your tree all set up, you need to decide on what to decorate it with! These charming reindeer decorations are so cute and we love these elegant baubles with a glitter finish. Or go for something a bit different with these clip-on hummingbird decorations from Alison Cork finished with sparkling embellishments and beads.
When we think of traditional Christmas decor, a poinsettia will always feature. So bright and vibrant red, this plant will always brighten up any space and bring on the festive cheer! This Home Reflections red and gold faux poinsettia display adds a real touch of elegance and comes in different designs to choose from including a wreath, garland or hanging basket. It’s pre-lit as well, so will look really beautiful inside or outside your home.
These pre-lit pine branches are another gorgeous option for adding a traditional look to your decor. Place them in a vase or simply hang them from your mantelpiece to complete your look.
In keeping with the red and green theme are these lovely Alison Cork Christmas baubles. They have a stylish velvet finish with gold hanging ribbons for a smart look and they’ll easily fit in with your existing decorations too.
We like to mix and match baubles on the tree to create a more interesting finish. Try teaming plain colours with these beautiful embellished ones from Alison Cork that’ll really stand out for an eye-catching look.
Glittering Opulence
This collection is full of deep blues and decadent velvets lifted with glittering gold metallics to create a rich and luxurious style. If you’re hosting a Christmas Eve party or maybe the big day itself, this look will transform your home into the ultimate destination for entertaining.
What better way to welcome in guests than with this statement peacock decoration from Alison Cork. The standing peacock is so regal and elegant, decorated with shimmering sequins and faux fur accents, it’ll certainly get some attention at your festive gatherings! And if you’re loving the peacock theme, this gold ornament is also so striking. Try putting it in the hallway or porch to set the scene as guests arrive.
We just adore this drinks trolley and cocktail shaker from BundleBerry by Amanda Holden. They’re so smart and stylish and guests will be impressed as you mix and serve cocktails to everyone as you swish around the room. Espresso Martini anyone?
This gorgeous wall mirror from Alison Cork is a keeper! Not only will it look fabulous as part of your opulent festive theme with its gold and velvet design, but it’s one we think should stay all year round.
For your tree, go for lots of gold and jewel tones. We love these pre-lit baubles to drape across the branches, these sparkling glitter and crystal butterflies and these clip-on glitter flowers that really make a statement. Try Alison Cork’s tree jewellery set too to add some extra sparkle.
