Unwrapping the Biggest Christmas Tree Trends for 2025

This year, the trends are wonderfully diverse, mixing high-impact nostalgia and shimmering maximalism with tranquil, natural elegance. Here are the must-know styles defining Christmas tree trends 2025:

1. The Amber Forest: Nature-Inspired Tranquility

Sustainability and a deep connection to the outdoors continue to dominate home decor, moving beyond simple greenery to embrace raw, comforting textures. In 2025, this translates to the "Amber Forest" trend, which focuses on organic textures, warm lighting, and earthy tones. Think deep forest greens, warm rusts, mossy shades, terracotta, and natural wood elements. The aesthetic is about calm, authenticity, and the quiet beauty of a winter landscape.

To truly capture this look, you must layer textures like felt, raw linen, woven rattan, and velvet. Our exquisite moss tapestry bauble set is a perfect embodiment of this trend, offering a rich, organic feel and detailed texture that brings the tranquility of a winter forest indoors. Enhance this peaceful vibe by using warm-white or amber-toned LED lights and pairing the baubles with oversized natural jute ribbon, wooden bead garlands, and gathered pinecones for an authentic, grounded display.

2. Nostalgic Kitschmas and Holiday Joy

The pendulum is swinging back to playful, maximalist decor, proving that Christmas is meant to be fun! "Kitschmas" and "Festive Joy" celebrate bold, bright colors—think vibrant pinks, electric blues, neon greens, and cherry reds—paired with whimsical, retro motifs and often, a touch of shimmer. This trend is a deliberate move away from subtlety, favoring items that spark instant delight and conversation.

Look for decorations that evoke cherished childhood memories or feature unexpected, humorous shapes like oversized sweets, food-themed ornaments, or playful animals. The endearing ceramic santa tree hanger is a great way to tap into this nostalgic trend. Its hand-finished charm and classic, yet slightly retro, design add a sweet, collectible quality that feels both vintage and cheerful, reminding everyone of the simple magic of classic Christmas and providing a perfect counterpoint to any traditional ornament.

3. Vintage Glamour and Deep Tones

For a sophisticated, heirloom look, deep jewel tones are paramount, giving your tree a sense of refined, old-world luxury. This trend favors burgundy, sapphire blue, midnight green, and deep plum, all paired with antique gold, bronze, or copper metallic accents. This style is less about glittering newness and more about the patina of high-quality materials and intricate detailing, such as ornate glass shapes or velvets.

This look calls for ornaments with substance and intricate surfaces. Our burgundy patterned christmas tree baubles are ideal for achieving this deep-toned glamour. Their rich, deep color and detailed, often textured or etched surface instantly elevate your tree, perfect for a formal dining room or a traditional living space adorned with rich textiles. Finish the look with thick velvet ribbons woven through the branches and an elegant tree collar to hide the base.

How to Choose Your Decorations: Matching Your Home Decor Style

The secret to a stunning tree isn't just following trends—it’s ensuring your tree harmonizes with your existing home decor Christmas aesthetic.

• For the Traditional Home: If your space features classic furniture, rich wood, and warm fabrics, embrace the "Christmas Magic" trend. Stick to a classic, enduring palette of deep reds, greens, and golds. Look for ornaments with enduring, hand-crafted quality and traditional motifs, like the beautifully detailed hand painted holly and ivy tree bauble. The commitment to artistry in this piece ensures it feels timeless and sophisticated, fitting seamlessly into a classic setting and becoming a cherished part of your family's annual décor tradition.

• For the Modern Minimalist: Opt for the "Nordic Noel" or "Cosy Minimalist" trend. Use a monochromatic or neutral palette (whites, creams, silver, pale woods) and focus heavily on texture over colour. Decorations should be simple, high-quality, and textural, often made from matte glass or raw wood. The impact is created through intentional spacing: a sparse, expertly placed selection of ornaments in varying sizes is key, ensuring the natural beauty of the tree's branches remains the star.

• For the Eclectic or Bohemian Home: Embrace the "Kitschmas" or "Creative Whimsy" trend and feel free to mix periods, colors, and textures from your favorite travels or themes. The tree becomes a creative, personalized display reflecting your unique taste. Don't be afraid to include found objects, paper ornaments, or even colorful macrame accents alongside your statement baubles.

The Art of Mixing and Matching Decorations: A Layering Masterclass

A truly dynamic and professional-looking tree uses layers of different styles and materials to create depth. Mastering this process is crucial for achieving that ‘designer’ finish.

1. Lights First (The Foundation): Start with lights—string them deep into the branches, closest to the trunk, to create depth and an inner glow. Use at least 100 lights per vertical foot of tree.

2. Garland/Ribbon (The Flow): Next, drape garlands or decorative ribbon. Weaving a wide velvet or linen ribbon vertically through the branches, rather than wrapping it horizontally, creates a more modern, cascading look.

3. Foundation Baubles (The Filler): Use simple, uniform baubles (matte, gloss, or metallic, usually in a core colour like gold or silver) to fill the inner branches and cover any empty spots.

4. Statement Pieces (The Focus): This is where you hang your larger, highly detailed, or sentimental ornaments that draw the eye. Place these on the tips of the branches where they catch the most light.

5. Textural Fillers (The Interest): Finally, tuck in non-traditional fillers like berries, twigs, floral picks, or unique plush pieces. The moss tapestry bauble set and the ceramic santa tree hanger work perfectly as these textural and conversational anchors, adding crucial contrast to smooth, shiny glass.

Mixing plush, soft elements with smooth glass or hard ceramics creates the vital visual contrast that makes the tree feel luxurious and thoughtfully designed.

Styling with Natural and Handmade Accents

The emphasis on sustainable and handcrafted decor is stronger than ever. Incorporating these natural elements not only connects to the "Amber Forest" trend but also adds a welcoming, artisanal, and incredibly personal touch.

Natural Touches for Warmth

• Bring in the Outdoors (Safely): Tuck small bundles of dried eucalyptus, sprigs of faux cedar, or cinnamon sticks into the tips of the branches to add fragrance and texture.

• Soft Textures are Key: Add non-traditional ornaments that prioritize comfort and warmth. The latte fluffy booties decoration is a wonderful example of this, lending a charming, cosy feel to the lower branches. These soft, tactile items pair beautifully with rustic wood slices, chunky knit garlands, or dried orange slices, amplifying the home's hygge factor.

• Conceal the Base: Finish your tree with a woven basket collar or a simple burlap tree skirt rather than a plastic stand to complete the natural, grounded look.

Making Your Own Decorations: Personalized DIY

Personalizing your tree with DIY Christmas baubles adds sentimentality and is a great family activity that enhances the authentic, handcrafted feel of the 2025 trends.

• Dried Citrus Power: Slice oranges, lemons, or limes about 1/4 inch thick. Bake them on low heat for several hours until dried and translucent. They fill your home with a wonderful aroma and look stunning when backlit by the tree lights. Thread them with twine and pair them with the hand painted holly and ivy tree bauble for a quintessential traditional, yet rustic, look.

• Popcorn and Cranberry Garlands: This classic, colourful DIY garland is incredibly affordable and adds a vibrant, nostalgic touch that works perfectly with the "Kitschmas" aesthetic.

• Handwritten Tags: Use small wooden slices or cardstock tags to write favorite holiday words, family names, or year markers, tying them to the tree with twine or thin velvet ribbon. These also make great placeholders for gifts placed under the tree.
