For Christmas 2025, design is getting personal, and festively so. This holiday season invites us to return to what feels real: nostalgia, comfort, and some old-fashioned magic. Interior designers are agreeing that this year’s decor is shifting towards warmth and sentiment. For example, Ralph Lauren’s cozy aesthetic meeting the candlelit beauty of Little Women.
If you’re keen to learn 2025 Christmas decor trends, keep reading as we talk all about what’s new in homes across the globe this holiday season.
1.Supersized Decor
We’re anticipating big, big decor this Christmas, from oversized baubles to unusually big prelit reindeer figurines in the garden. Interior designer and trends forecaster of Balsam Hill, Whinnie Williams, says “Supersized decorations are also having a big moment (quite literally!). Oversized ornaments, ribbons, and nutcrackers bring instant drama to a room without necessarily stretching your budget”.
2.Soft Glow Lighting
The hallmark of 2025 Christmas decor, as experts predict it, is gentle illumination. Layering fairy lights in glass vases, dimmable candles, and then those soft gold finishes creating an atmosphere of calmness. This trend is clearly moving away from cold LED brightness towards a more cinematic glow. The Govee Christmas String Lights are a great pick in that regard, especially because they allow you to choose from millions of colors.
3. Little Women Core
This Christmas is embracing the poetry of home. Much like a Little Women moment. The idea is creating a space that feels lived-in, filled with details that tell a story: a stack of old books, a flicker of candlelight, a velvet bow tie around a sconce. Such a sense of intimacy is taking center stage. For example, cozy nooks with hand-tied stockings and vintage tableware pulled from the back of the cupboard.
