Looking to spruce up your festive aesthetics? Here’s some of the biggest Christmas trends 2022 that you won’t want to miss . I know it’s a bit late but better late than never..
After the stop-start of last year’s Christmas and the wash-out of 2020, we are all in need of some good old-fashioned stress-free bring-the-neighbors-too Christmas celebrations for 2022!
And whilst more of us will be determined to get that fix of winter sun than in previous years, cost constraints and the final (please!!!) return to normality will see lots of festive celebrations at home too. YEAH!!
CHRISTMAS TRENDS 2022: COLOURS
- NATURAL TONES
This eco-first festive vision was growing in popularity last year. And it is sure to be a key trend for this Christmas.
Light greens add color to a predominantly white palette. Accents of woody brown, terracotta and gold add warmth to designs. The resulting fresh, natural aesthetic contrasts fabulously with the time of year.
Or for an even more natural ambience, ease off the lighter tones and embrace a variety of shades of green (and greenery!) against darker earthy brown tones. Finish with accents of matt black and gold for a modern take on cozy rustic.
Popular natural textures such as stone, linen, wood and cork will add depth and interest. And delicate patterns inspired by the natural world will be prominent on everything from crockery and glassware to tree ornaments and tealight holders.
- BLUE & GOLD
Deep rich blues paired with luxurious warm gold looks set to be another one of the big Christmas Trends 2022. Expect to see blue & gold offerings across the internet and in your local stores.
This timeless elegant color palette aligns perfectly with increasingly popular celestial designs and products. Make the most of long December nights whilst remembering the importance of downtime and self-care.
And be sure to embrace the maximalist trend with a more is more approach to your luxurious design. No need to hold back; it’s time to paint the town blue & gold! 
- FLOCKED CHRISTMAS TREES
Flocked (snow-covered) Christmas Trees are everywhere and very polular! Helping
us live out our dreams of a snowy Christmas, these white-dusted trees will take centre stage in living rooms across the country!
And close on their heels will be the all-white Christmas tree too. So summon up your inner Bing Crosby … you know you want to!

CANDLES
It really is all about the candles . Tapered candles in beautiful candlesticks are set to be a key part of the 2022 Christmas tablescape. Vibrant two-tone, twisted, shaped & embellished candles will feature widely, adding a pop of color to festive aesthetics.
Candles will be high on everyone’s gifting list too, with original designs perfect to share with friends, family and beyond. And a great way to support smaller independent local businesses too. We particularly love some of the more quirky candles shapes, fragrances and packaging we’ve spotted coming to market.
And if you’re going all in on the candles, don’t forget that matches are no longer to be hidden in the bits and pieces drawer. Now a gift in their own right, oversized eye-catching matchboxes are a fabulous finishing touch.

SHOP SMALL SHOP LOCAL
As we look to embrace the ‘Buy Once Buy Better’ trend, we are increasingly eager to also support local and smaller independent companies.
Buying directly from small business owners offers that perfect win-win: fabulous service and unique, often bespoke, finds alongside a great feel-good feeling for us as buyers too.
What’s more, booming creativity during covid has resulted in so many new entrepreneurs and a virtually endless selection of gorgeous gift products.
- LIGHT UP EVERYTHING
We’ve seen an increase in Christmas lighting purchases over the last two years as families rushed to cheer themselves and their local communities whilst festivities were limited. But the continued rise in innovative design and efficient LED running costs ensure the return of this trend for Christmas .
Giant fairy lit orbs and floating candles (reminiscent of Hogwarts Great Hall!) are amongst the products we expect to see on the High Street this festive season. Perfect for brightening those December nights and repurposing later in the year come spring season too!
