Overview
- Muted, warm hues such as mocha, terracotta, champagne gold, bronze and soft neutrals replace the traditional red‑and‑green focus across this season’s displays.
- Smart LED strings, LED projectors, neon‑flex strips and electronic candles lead lighting trends with lower energy use, app control and improved safety versus older multicolor sets.
- Design coverage highlights organic and reusable materials—wood, linen, glass, ceramics and botanicals—displacing plastic ornaments in favor of artisanal, longer‑lasting pieces.
- Alternative and space‑saving tree formats spread on social platforms, from branch arrangements and wall trees to reusable or rental firs, with Carbon Trust data noting artificial trees need about 10 seasons of reuse to offset a single yearly natural purchase.
- Social media accelerates varied looks—Nordic minimalism, coquette bows and restrained metallic glam with burgundy—while outlets differ on whether candles and classic centerpieces are being retired or reinterpreted.
