Top Trends in Christmas Home Decor
1. Christmas tree alternatives
The first trend I want to discuss is the increasing popularity of various Christmas tree alternatives.

While traditional trees are always around, there’s a growing demand for unique options. Twig trees, birch trees, crystal, and beaded trees are becoming more and more popular.

These alternatives are a great option if you can’t have a regular tree, maybe because of pets, space issues, or just to avoid the hassle of decorating and cleaning up.

2. Alpine/downswept Christmas trees
The next trend also revolves around alternative Christmas trees, but unlike the previous ones, these are actual trees with needles. Specifically, I’m talking about alpine or downswept trees, which I’ve noticed are gaining popularity each year.

They often come in sets of 2 or 3, making it feel like you’ve brought a piece of real Scandinavian forest into your home. And while they typically come in smaller sizes, I think in a few years, we’ll start seeing full-sized downswept Christmas trees becoming more popular and showing up everywhere.

I personally adore how stylish and handsome these trees are!
3. Crafting a winter forest: multiple Christmas trees
And the next trend is sort of like an extension of the previous one – it’s all about not just having one Christmas tree, but creating a whole forest of many trees in different sizes.

Of course, you’ll need lots of space to pull it off, but it’s incredibly impressive and will give you the feeling of having a magical winter forest right in your own home.
4. Real touch greenery
Alright, the next trend that skyrocketed a few years back and shows no signs of slowing down (I’d say it’s here to stay) is the craze for real touch garlands, wreaths, and all things greenery.

Now, more and more stores are catching onto this trend, so this year, you’ll find plenty of options available everywhere. I’m talking about the “real touch” pine, cypress, and cedar.

As the name suggests, these Christmas garlands and wreaths look and feel incredibly realistic and elegant. But unlike traditional garlands, they don’t have wire in the branches; they’re soft and have a natural droopy look. So, don’t expect to load them up with tons of ornaments and decorations.

Some people really like the elegance of plain greenery, while others crave the sparkle and glitz that define Christmas for them. So, if you’re into the fancy decorations, remember that you need wire-based garlands and wreaths, which these natural-looking ones lack. So keep this factor in mind when making your selection.
