Christmas 2025: Why “More” Is Making a Big Comeback

As the holiday season approaches, designers are ringing in a bold shift: minimalism is out, and for Christmas 2025, it's all about abundance, personality, and layered luxury. According to leading interior experts, this year’s festive décor is defined by maximalism, nostalgia, and a vibrant, jewel-tone palette.

This season, Christmas trees have become true statement pieces—layered, expressive, and deeply personal rather than perfectly polished.
Holiday décor is embracing a bolder approach, encouraging a mix of patterns in different scales across table linens, generous use of ribbon, and tablescapes that feel full, abundant, and far from overly coordinated.

So why not do something unique with your tree?

2. Heirloom Charm

There’s a growing appreciation for old-world charm in holiday decorating, with a renewed love for heirloom-quality pieces that feel meaningful and storied. Designers are seeing more clients gravitate toward vintage ornaments, family treasures, and decorations that carry a sense of history. These pieces bring warmth, nostalgia, and character—qualities people are craving more than ever in their homes.
Vintage Christmas ornaments fit seamlessly into this elevated style. From hand-blown mercury glass baubles to mid-century Shiny Brite ornaments, German and Czech glass pieces, and Scandinavian wooden figures, these nostalgic decorations bring depth and craftsmanship to your tree. Their soft shimmer, muted colors, and delicate details tell a story that modern mass-produced ornaments simply can’t replicate.

This return to vintage isn’t just about style—it’s about connection.

3. Move Beyond All-White Décor

The classic all-white Christmas palette is stepping aside this year, making room for something richer, warmer, and far more expressive. Designers are leaning toward deep jewel tones—colors that bring instant depth and luxury to your holiday décor. Think velvety purples, rich crimson reds, emerald greens, and vibrant fuchsia layered into roses, ribbons, and floral arrangements. These saturated hues feel indulgent, romantic, and dramatically festive—perfect for a season that celebrates warmth and abundance.

Alongside these bold colors comes a renewed focus on lush, organic greenery. Real evergreen garlands, fresh pine branches, cedar sprigs, and living topiaries are becoming must-have elements for Christmas 2025.

What This Means for Your Holiday Decor

  • Be generous with ornament use: There’s no such thing as “too many” this year. Mix sizes, materials, and styles to get that statement-tree look.

  • Bring in meaningful pieces: Don’t just buy new decor — pull out family heirlooms, thrifted finds, and vintage treasures. They bring character and warmth.

  • Play with color: Move beyond neutrals. Jewel tones and rich greenery will make your decor feel luxurious and celebratory.

  • Layer your spaces: Don’t confine greenery to the tree. Use garlands, topiaries, and foliage in unexpected rooms for a cohesive, lush feel.
