As the seasons switch and we look ahead to all things merry and bright, Wayfair reveals three of the top decorating trends to style your space with this Christmas.

 

Putting unique finds at your fingertips, with an unparalleled selection all in one place - curating the perfect look to suit your scheme is made easy. It’s time to ‘Go Your Own Wayfair’ for Christmas 2023!

 

Leading creative interior stylist, Laurie Davidson, shares the inspiration behind three of the decorating looks: Magical Mermaidcore, Colour Kitsch, Sweet Like Chocolate.

Sweet Like Chocolate

Let your imagination run wild and create a theatrical Wonka-themed Christmas setting that is as magical and quirky as the film itself. 

 

A dark navy tree creates the perfect backdrop for jewel-coloured purple and red decorations, while lush velvet armchairs, footstools with fun pleated frills and monochrome graphic accents add a bold yet decadent look. 

 

Use an umbrella stand to display fillable giant candy canes and get a deliciously sugary scent from candy-fragranced candles. The finishing touches? A top hat tree topper a la Wonka, fun faux grass rug and, of course, lashings of candy canes and chocolate!

Magical Mermaidcore

Make waves this Christmas with a seasonal setting that takes on this year’s popular mermaid-inspired trend. 

 

Romantic, ethereal and totally dreamy - this look is all about using shimmery iridescent materials, scale-like patterns and sea-themed motifs such as starfish, shells and coral. 

 

Deck your tree with cascading faux florals (which are easy to spray paint to suit your colour scheme), pretty pearl-encrusted decorations and lots of tinsel strands for extra sparkle. Wood furniture, fisherman-style lighting and treasure chest jewel boxes filled with baubles bring in the ocean theme, while a soft aquatic peachy-coral and aqua colour palette creates the perfect alternative to traditional red and green.

Colour Kitsch

Unashamedly kitsch and brimming with a riot of colour, this is *the* Christmas look for those looking for fun, frivolous decorations and a stop-and-stare tree. 

 

Mix retro baubles and clashing floral prints with vintage furniture and the odd glint of metallic for a lavish, over-the-top look. Bring in nostalgic elements that are sure to make you smile, from old-fashioned Santa motifs to disco balls and honeycomb paper decorations. Finish the look with a matching bauble wreath, an over-sized ribbon and feather tree topper and enjoy a bright and colourful Kitsch-mas!
