From partywear and shoes to nails and makeup, bows have reigned supreme this year, forming part of the ultra-feminine, pastel-toned coquette look – and it’s one of the biggest Christmas decor trends, too.
‘Ribbons and bows are making their Christmas debut,’ confirms Gareth Coxall, creative director at Terrys. If you want to get involved, go for ‘sequined or velvet finishes and oversized designs’ – or try bows adorned with pearls, lace and frills.
For a cottagecore twist on the coquette look, you can incorporate another buzzy trend: gingham. Having proved hugely popular across both fashion and interiors, gingham adds a touch of cosy charm to your Christmas decorations. ‘Linen bows are becoming a particularly sought-after home decor accent, especially around the festive season,’ say the experts at Piglet in Bed. ‘People are loving the idea of adding them to their Christmas trees.’

If oversized ribbons and reams of velvet aren’t quite your thing, you might prefer a more understated Christmas tree – and Scandi style is as popular as ever. Think soft cream shades, subtle metallic accessories and elegant string lights.
For an ultra-stylish Scandi look, ‘focus on muted colours and delicate wooden ornaments,’ advise the experts at Graham and Green. ‘Finish off the rest of your space with cosy knitted textures to add warmth and charm.’

Maximalist Touches
Nothing says merry and bright quite like the maximalist look – especially when you pair it with some retro decor. From bold red baubles to multicoloured lights and (of course) plenty of tinsel, a maximalist tree is guaranteed to lift your spirits. (Check out our guide to retro Christmas decorations here.)

Winter Woodland
Bring the outside in (minus the freezing temperatures) with an ever-so-elegant winter woodland theme. ‘Tapping into the charm of nature and snow-covered forests, this look is all about twinkling lights, earthy accessories and a rustic yet cosy atmosphere,’ explains Elizabeth Marshall, Christmas buyer at Hillier Garden Centres.
Start with a touch of red paired with pale pinks and light green shades like rosemary and sage, before adding in some woodland-inspired ornaments. ‘Think about bringing in texture, warmth and earthy tones with pinecones, soft fabrics and subtle metallics,’ says Elizabeth. ‘You can even incorporate animal-shaped ornaments like owls, foxes, deer and squirrels to really bring it all to life.’

Festive Boho
Similar to a Scandi theme, boho can provide some brilliant festive inspiration if you usually lean towards a neutral, pared-back look. ‘To master an effortlessly festive boho aesthetic, opt for soft, natural colours like earthy greens, creams and beiges,’ says Cassandra Leisz, creative director at Ruggable.
When it comes to baubles, try incorporating materialsthat ‘capture the essence of the natural world, like brass, rattan and raw wood,’ she continues. ‘Finish with pine cones, foliage and dried oranges.’
