Deck the halls with this year’s top seasonal styling trends

With Christmas fast approaching, households across the country are adding an extra layer of sparkle to their homes.

Christmas is one of the most important times of the year for Very’s customers, but as much as decking the halls helps to spread festive cheer, it’s also about elevating the homes aesthetic during the most magical time of year.

From disco balls and bows to warm lighting and delicate glass, here are the top homeware trends this Christmas.

All is bright

Dopamine décor has been a big trend in 2025 and it’s shaping Christmas styling too.

The ‘All is Bright’ trend embraces playful, bold colours and a sense of carefree fun. Expect to see rainbow trees, disco balls and uplifting slogans across homeware products.

The key is mixing patterns, textures and shapes in a way that feels curated. It’s optimistic, expressive and playful. Proving that Christmas decorating doesn’t have to be serious to be stylish!

Festive bows  

Festive bows are everywhere for Christmas 2025, emerging as one of the most recognisable icons of the season. With its timeless silhouette blending tradition with contemporary.

Bows aren’t just finishing touches; they’re statement pieces. Oversized velvet bows draped across trees, as well as tree toppers.

Soft minimal luxe

For a calmer alternative, the soft minimal luxe trend captures the quiet magic of winter with a look that’s refined and beautifully serene.

Metallic accents and delicate glass ornaments add a hint of luxury, while textured whites and cosy, tactile layers create a warm, inviting feel. From illuminated star décor to snowy garlands and plush winter textiles, this light-filled aesthetic turns every room into a softly glowing winter sanctuary—perfect for those who love a timeless approach.

It’s minimalism with warm, elevated details: muted naturals, soft metallics, and warm whites create a soothing, serene Christmas look.

Staircase styling

Often festive décor stops with the Christmas tree, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Decorating the staircase is a simple way to extend festive décor in the home.

With homeowners looking to make every corner feel celebratory and festive, a statement garland is a must have for dressing bannisters. Including layered textures, natural greenery and decorative additions – think ribbons, dried fruits, metallic baubles and twinkling lights – adding a garland to the staircase can instantly elevate the home.
