– The Biggest Trends in Christmas Lighting and Decorations
Christmas – and the way we celebrate it – continues to evolve, but some traditions never go out of style. For Christmas 2026, we're seeing several clear trends where classic designs meet contemporary colours, flexible lighting solutions become increasingly important, and natural materials continue to inspire.
SHOP ALL NEW CHRISTMAS ARRIVALSHere are some of the strongest Christmas trends right now – and the ones we believe will continue to shape the seasons ahead.
Greige Takes Centre Stage This Christmas
For many years, white, red and dark wood have dominated Christmas décor, and they still have their place. But we're seeing greige continue to grow as one of the season's most popular colours.
The soft blend of grey and beige fits perfectly into modern homes, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. It works just as beautifully on traditional Advent candle bridges as it does on more contemporary designs.
Why we love greige
- Easy to pair with Scandinavian interior
- Creates a soft and elegant look
- Suits both traditional and modern homes
- A timeless colour you'll enjoy year after yea
- Pairs beautifully with brass, gold and sparkling details
Natural Materials Continue to Define Christmas
Evergreen wreaths and decorative garlands continue to grow in popularity, both indoors and outdoors.
The Christmas wreath has moved beyond the front door and is now used on walls, windows, tables and cabinets. At the same time, evergreen garlands remain a classic way to frame entrances, stair railings and windows.
Where to place your wreath or garlan
- On the front door
- Around the entrance
- Along stair railings, indoors or outdoors
- Above the fireplace
- As a table centrepiece
Christmas Lighting in Gold, Brass and Sparkling Finishes
After several years of pared-back minimalism, we're now seeing a growing interest in shimmer, shine, reflections and metallic finishes.
Brass and gold bring a sense of celebration and tradition while adding warmth during the darkest months of the year. This can be anything from a shimmering Advent candle bridge in the window to smaller decorative accents on shelves, cabinets or the Christmas tree.
How to decorate with gold and brass
- Pair with deep green, navy blue and natural materials
- Let a few statement pieces stand out against white, greige or wood
- Mix matte and glossy finishes for added depth
- Add natural wreaths and garlands to create balance
Classic Advent Candlesticks remain a favourite
While new materials and colours continue to emerge, we're also seeing a clear return to timeless Christmas traditions.
Well-crafted wooden Advent candlesticks with classic shapes, quality craftsmanship and a solid feel remain an essential part of Christmas in many homes.
Models such as Spira and Sapin show that traditional Christmas lighting is just as relevant today as it has been for generations.
Why traditional Christmas décor never goes out of style
- Creates a sense of nostalgia and tradition
- Designed to be enjoyed for many Christmases
- Fits both modern and classic interiors
- Natural materials create a warm and inviting atmosphere
Rechargeable Christmas Lighting
One of the clearest developments in recent years is the growing demand for flexible lighting. That's why rechargeable and portable Christmas products continue to gain popularity.
The cordless Christmas star is a great example of how a traditional Christmas icon is being reimagined with modern technology. Place it on a side table, in a bookcase, on a kitchen island or anywhere you'd like to add a little extra Christmas magic.
More outdoor lighting than ever before
Christmas lighting is extending further beyond the home. While windows and the Christmas tree used to be the main focus, today gardens, balconies and patios have become an essential part of Christmas decorating.
String lights create a warm atmosphere around entrances, railings, shrubs and trees. At the same time, more people are looking for flexible lighting solutions that let them choose the most suitable power source.
With systems such as Mono, Solox and Join, you can choose string lights powered by batteries, a transformer connected to a wall outlet, or solar energy – depending on where you want to decorate.
