Trend 2. Snow White Woodland Retreat

We’re all dreaming of a white Christmas for 2021! For this trend think winter wildlife nestled in soft eucalyptus-green accents. Celebrate natural textures like wood, rattan and wool. Dress the tree from head to toe in laser cut wooden decorations and woodland creatures galore. Blond and whitewashed woods compliment a colour palette of soft creams and greys to update this neutral colour scheme, giving it depth and tactile appeal.
Style tip: Laid back styling is key, and a minimal palette of rich cream. Simple festive form decorates the tree, and interest comes through with texture. Dot a natural pom pom bauble here and there, use rattan details and textured ceramics to add layers of interest.

Novelty decorations are only going form strength to strength, meaning it was only time before entire trees were decorated in quirky designs.
Think State Side Christmas with boldly coloured, fun elements – from burgers to candy canes. A touch of a vintage vibe is definitely apparent in the wrapping and decorations. Kitsch designs are everywhere with the injection of multicolours and unlikely characters, like cacti and rainbows, giving a thought provoking element of surprise, inspiring happiness and joy.

After uncertain times we crave a familiarity and comfort form our decorating schemes. Red is the single most classic colour choice for Christmas – the colour Father Christmas sis dressed head to toe in and the colour of the iconic Holly berries, we associate with this time of year. Red is having a real resurgence as we strive to keep things simple and go back to traditions of Christmas’ past. But of course to make this trend feel modern there are contemporary velvet decorations and tree topper ideas to add a touch of luxe.
Trend 5. Totally Alternative Trees

A big trend for festive decorating in 2021 are alternative Christmas tree ideas. Popular as an extra tree, to that of the main living room tree, homeowners are looking to dress more than living rooms – seeking alternative trees to add fun to hallways, family rooms and more.
Jess Martin, party decoration expert at Ginger Ray explains the trend; ‘Christmas 2021 is going to be a season of maximalism. For those who love going all out with their Christmas decor there’s a new novelty tree in town and it’s made entirely out of balloons!’
‘A balloon tree is the perfect option if you have allergies, pets or if you just hate hoovering up all the pine needles. Plus there is no need to faff around with baubles and lights! Kids will love helping to put this up- just remember to order a balloon pump too…’

This sophisticated look is the perfect alternative to the traditional Christmas colours. Here the stars of the show are peacock colours, with accents in gold to add that super-glam glow and hints of teal for interesting highlights. Look out for contemporary finishes, such as ombre and oil slick. This theme will set the scene for entertaining and see you right through ’til New Year’s Eve celebrations.
This trend is both opulent and luxurious and its warmth is perfect for those cosy nights spent beside the fire. Peacock blue is not only the colour of the moment for home enhancement but its depth provides a fantastic backdrop to ensure your Christmas lights sparkle.

Trend 7. Heavenly Renaissance

For this look layer antique golds with vintage-inspired designs. To give the look an undoubtable on-trend touch for 2021 incorporate celestial symbols and decorations. Go all out with a gold tree! Or if you have a tree already, just stick to gold and metallic decorations.
A dusting of glitter and a sprinkle of sparkle, brings a glamorous touch to this ultra luxe theme. Velvet so soft to the touch in blushing rose, combined with grey mauve undertones, makes this a very sophisticated look.
Style tip: Add sparkling tassels and decorations with a grownup flavour as a playful touch.

What colours are going to be big for 2021?
‘A snowy white look is always a favourite with our customers’ explains Jason Billings-Cray, Christmas Buyer at John Lewis & Partners. ‘Modernising the look is simple, warm neutrals can be layered with soft blue tones and silver to give the look depth.’
‘Festive reds and greens are laced with gold for the traditional colourscape which look brilliant with fresh foliage and dried fruits. Outside of these classic colourways, we have everything from sophisticated blush and golds to lush turquoise and neon pink, there really is a look for every home however you like to express yourself at Christmas.’
What style of tree is on trend for 2021?
‘At the moment our Brunswick tree is the most popular with its classic bushy and conical shape’ says Jason Billings-Cray. ‘The tree’s outer tips are accurately moulded and coloured to mimic a real spruce tree.’
‘But our all white tree is proving popular with customers looking for a full icy white look. This full and fluffy white tree, with lifelike needles, is the perfect background to make colourful decorations “pop”.’
