With the holidays almost here, you may be getting ready to add some shimmer and shine to your home. It’s time to go through those large storage bins and rediscover your favorite holiday decor pieces. Maybe you’ll also come across some not so great looking decorations and feel it's time to permanently retire those pieces. If you're looking to add something new to your current holiday decor set up and are wondering about the latest holiday decorating trends, then look no further. Here are the top 7 holiday decorating trends for 2023.

Emo Ornaments

Add some sensuality and mystery to your holiday decor. Think darker toned, rich textures like velvet. This holiday decor trend screams luxury and style. For a truly sensual look, decorate your holiday tree with textural ornaments and simple white lights.

Of course, you can also opt to incorporate this look with your current Christmas tree decorations.

Minimalist Christmas Trees

This trend is accentuated if you have the ability to place multiple Christmas trees in your home. To pull off this holiday trend, you'll only need to adorn your holiday tree with simple white lights and nothing more.

We suggest placing your minimalist christmas trees in your bedroom, in front of a picture window, or formal living room space.

Exaggerated Mantle Decor 

A trend that lands on the flip side of the minimalist Christmas tree, the exaggerated mantle, is another holiday decor trend for 2023. To encapsulate this trend, use oversized, flowing garland. Add soft white lights and shimmering decorations to your garland to complete this look.

Vintage Decor 

If you're not in sync with the neutral, minimalist decor trend, then this is your year to shine (pun intended). This year you'll see a surge in vintage decor, either bought second hand or passed down from your family. This includes gleaming tinsel and colorful decor (hello 1980's).

The vintage holiday decor trend will surely add a festive feel into your home. We suggest that you stay with a design feeling or theme that you want to translate, rather than hopping around to different themes. It's easy to get lost in all the - well -  glimmer and shine.

Sustainable and DIY 

Holiday decor with eco-friendly materials and personal touches are gaining even more popularity now than ever before. Another plus with this trend, besides being a great global design citizen, a personalized holiday decoration also makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift.

Holiday decor made of warm, earthy,  neutral tones create a cozy atmosphere that's easy to build upon. If you're into a more simple, minimalist aesthetic, try using neutrals and pair with metallics to create a cozy and elegant holiday vibe.

Jewel Glassware

If you're throwing a holiday party this year, you can easily set the mood by adding jewel toned glassware to the dinner table. Emerald, festive reds, gold and silvers will all fit this trend. Channel your inner Jubilee design instincts with this holiday trend.

As a holiday host suggestion, jewel toned glassware pairs well with earthy wood charcuterie boards. This trend makes it easy to not only set the table but have the holiday set the decor in your home. It's a win win.
