Christmas brings people together and represents warmth, care, and connection. Originally, we commemorated the birth of Jesus, but these days it's all about coziness, gratitude, and connection. During this time, we fill the dark days with atmosphere, both at home and in shops, with light, color, and a touch of magic.

The biggest trends of Christmas in 2026

Christmas is all about experience: the feeling of coming home to a warm, inspiring setting. But how do you create this atmosphere? These are this season's most popular trends that will boost both ambiance and sales:

• Personal experience & warm luxury: Christmas isn't just about decoration, but about atmosphere and feeling.
• A colour palette with character: rich shades such as burgundy, old rose, aubergine, emerald green or mother-of-pearl, combined with warm materials and gloss accents.
• Inviting materials and textures: velvet, wool, ceramic, wood, and metal are all featured. Decor that you not only see, but also feel.
• Atmospheric lighting and natural details: warm LED string lights, candlelight, pine branches, wooden ornaments, and handmade accessories bring peace and authenticity.
• Statement accents: large bows, striking contrasts or disco elements, for those who dare and stand out.

In our showroom you will discover how to translate these trends into an inspiring presentation for your customers.

The timing of putting up Christmas decorations varies from person to person, but most people don't wait until Christmas. Many start in mid-November or right after Sinterklaas , when the days feel shorter and colder, and the need for warmth and ambiance grows.

For shops and interior design professionals, an early start is ideal for inspiring customers and enhancing the festive spirit. Starting early creates a sense of calm and space to carefully design every detail: from soft Christmas lights to a festive interior that lets the magic of Christmas shine.
