Home Decor Ideas & Inspiration

2023’s best Christmas trends (there’s even one for Scrooges)

John Lewis & Partners Christams Decorating Ideas and Trends
India Price,-Contributing Editor

Whether you’ve been counting down all year and are a sucker for tradition, or just want to add some discreet sparkle to your home, there’s something here for everyone

Ready to move away from (or complement) your lovely but dusty old Christmas decorations? You've come to the right place. We're talking icy, but we’re also talking rainbow, and we’re talking cosy cottage but we can also talk robot astronauts and the solar system if that’s your thing. Pick a tribe and get set to deck those halls.

About as traditional as Christmas gets – with an extra hint of luxury, thanks to textures of soft cashmere and faux sheepskin. Think: white candles, simple baubles, tables laid days in advance, with tiny details that make the fanciest restaurants look amateur, and rooms so welcoming that you’ll never want to leave. Sounds delightful, doesn’t it?

If you love colour but still want some of the sparkle and magic of Christmas (ie going beyond traditional green and red), this is for you. Baubles as bold as you like, neon wrapping paper that can be repurposed for birthdays, glittery reindeer and all things bright and beautiful – there’s a joyful trend over the rainbow.

Imagine a quintessential countryside cottage… and now imagine it at Christmas. This trend nods to tradition, with red and green coming on candles, wreaths and crockery (mistletoe plates! Christmas tree-shaped dishes!). Choosing only a few things from this trend will turn your winterised home into a grotto of Christmas joy, without going over the top. Ho ho yes.

It’s like Christmas… but not. This is for those who love getting in the spirit, decorating their home and bringing in joy – while staying anything but traditional. Think of solar system-inspired wrapping paper, glittery baubles that make you look twice, the most extra multicoloured trees, and more. Perfect for the alternative-thinkers, it’s out of this world.
