It’s never too early to mention the C-word, right?!
And if you’re anything like us here at Sewing House, you’ll love hearing about all the newest trends in sprucing up your home for the festive season. Let’s unwrap the top Christmas decorating trends for 2024 and see how they can bring a magical touch to your space!
Grouped Christmas Trees
One of the most eye-catching trends for 2024 is the idea of grouped Christmas trees. While some people still enjoy just having one centrepiece tree in the lounge, or even decorating a tree in each room, this trend brings multiple trees of varying sizes together in one space, creating a visually striking focal point.
This approach doesn’t have to be costly either – you can pick up affordable, second-hand trees on platforms like Facebook Marketplace and spread your existing ornaments across them for a cohesive yet budget-friendly look. Arranged together, these trees add depth and charm to your space, creating a forest-like vibe perfect for the festive season.
Earthy Tones And Woodland Magic
This year’s Christmas decor vibe is heavily inspired by nature, with earthy tones taking centre stage. Brown, rust, terracotta, and green create a warm, rich backdrop that brings the outdoors in. Embracing this trend, many decorators are opting for a woodland theme, incorporating elements like felt and wooden ornaments featuring with woodland creatures. Picture the most adorable deer, foxes, hedgehogs, and owls nestled amongst the branches, along with eco-friendly materials that keep with the natural vibe.
Want to fully embrace this earthy look all year-round? Pair your decorations with made-to-measure curtains in complementary tones. Our Blickling Forest curtains complement those Chsitamssy woodland hues perfectly. And for added cosiness, try layering in cushions with forest-inspired motifs. The mix of earthy colours and soft, tactile fabrics will create a setting that feels both festive and welcoming.
Classic Christmas Revival With A Nostalgic Twist
Classic Christmas decor never truly goes out of style, but 2024 sees that nostalgic, vintage-inspired Christmas coming back in a big way. This trend takes us back to our childhood with timeless elements like green trees, red decorations, nutcrackers, and everything that feels traditionally festive. Going for a classic look is also budget-friendly – charity shops are often full of vintage Christmas decorations that people no longer use, so you can find nostalgic items without spending much.
If you love the classic vibe but want to elevate it for 2024, try deepening the colour palette with jewel tones like darker greens and rich wine reds for a modern twist on traditional decor. Add a couple of plush cushions, such as Sewing House’s Barneby Gates Deer Damask Claret Cushion, to bring warmth and cosiness to your seating.
70s Retro Vibe
For anyone wanting to add a playful touch to Christmas this year, the 70s retro vibe is set to be huge. Disco balls are appearing everywhere, from interior design to weddings, and they’re making their way into Christmas decor too! Think of disco balls on your tree, hanging from the ceiling, arranged on sideboards, and even incorporated into wreaths. With options in silver, gold, black, pink, and green, these sparkly ornaments are sure to light up any room.
In addition to disco balls, expect to see quirky retro touches like disco mushrooms, platform boots, and ornaments with retro folk-art motifs. The combination of mirrored elements and 70s-inspired colours like mustard, orange, and green will bring a festive yet funky atmosphere to your space.

Velvet Everywhere
Velvet made a big splash at Christmas 2023, and it’s not going anywhere in 2024. The soft, luxurious texture of velvet is ideal for adding a touch of elegance and warmth to your Christmas decor. From velvet bows and ribbons on your tree to plush velvet cushions and throws, this material brings a regal and cosy feel to any space.
For those ready to go all out, consider upgrading your window treatments to velvet curtains. The Velour Bordeaux curtains from The Sewing House make a bold yet elegant statement and are perfect for the festive season – and beyond!
Combining Christmas With Your Everyday Decor
While it’s fun to bring in seasonal decorations, coordinating your Christmas decor with your everyday home vibe is a great way to create a harmonious look. Start with your current colour palette and consider adding festive touches that will complement it rather than clash. For example, if your room has a neutral feel with statement navy curtains, try gold decorations for a more refined Christmas vibe. Or, if your space incorporates lots of bold colours or patterns, consider going for neutral, pared-down festive decor to fit your room’s aesthetic seamlessly.
From timeless elegance to playful, disco-inspired decor, these Christmas 2024 trends will transform your space into an inviting sanctuary this festive season.
Whether you prefer to mix up your decorations with the latest trends each year, or you stick to the same beautiful decor each Christmas, you can always take your space to the next level with made-to-measure curtains and blinds, as well as cushions, from Sewing House.
