The Biggest Holiday Decor Trend for 2025

If you've been scrolling Pinterest or TikTok lately, you've probably noticed a major shift in holiday decorating this year. The minimalist, perfectly curated Christmas is out—2025 is all about warm, nostalgic, and abundantly decorated homes that feel personal and collected over time.

The standout trend? The Ralph Lauren-inspired Christmas—think classic, timeless elegance with rich textures and traditional charm. Tartan everything (throws, pillows, tree ribbons), plaid stockings, brass candlesticks, and velvet ribbons create that upscale rustic vibe that feels like a cozy country estate during the holidays.

But nostalgia is showing up in other ways too:

Vintage and Handmade Touches: The "Little Women Christmas" aesthetic embraces natural textures, homemade décor, dried citrus accents, and paper garland. Everything feels cozy, lived-in, and crafted with care. Pull out those vintage ornaments from your parents' attic or hit up estate sales for rosy-cheeked Santas and retro glass baubles.

Mix Your Metals: Gold, silver, and bronze are all shining together this Christmas. Combine subdued or antiqued metals for a warm, layered look that feels sophisticated without being stuffy.

Maximalist Trees: More is more this year. Designers are encouraging clients to use all their ornaments at once, layer textures, and embrace the "perfectly chaotic" tree that's heavy on personality and light on perfection.

Whatever your style, 2025 is about decorating with meaning—pieces that tell your family's story, not just what looks good in a catalog. Start with what you already love, add a few new pieces that speak to you, and let your home feel joyfully, unapologetically yours.
