Feel like you're bombarded with 101 festive Christmas Tree Ideas to Try This Year - but you just want a quick and easy way to update your Christmas look? Read on for tips on how to make your Christmas feel luxurious without completely overhauling your festive style.
We collect our decorations over the years - and that naturally, in the end, presents a specific look year after year. So, how do you refresh a tired festive style and make it feel luxurious without ditching your treasures? Small, key additions, but lots of them is the answer! Here are our Best Luxury Christmas Decorating Ideas to give a new, opulent look to old decorations, without breaking the bank or disappearing into Pinterest.
Our three key Christmas décor ideas for a luxury look
The best kind of home decor ideas for Christmas are the easy new wins - and we have three key winning ornaments for decorating for a luxury feel at home this Christmas. Firstly, statement pieces - consider one or two new ones, such as an upgrade on your Christmas wreath – go for one already with lights or a new pre-lit tree because the lights come perfectly placed, creating the best foundation for your old decorations to elevate those main focal points in your festive décor. Next, a scheme of deep evergreens will always add a natural, elegant touch to your décor for a premium Christmas look. Incorporate foraged pine branches or eucalyptus to add a natural, elegant touch to your pre-lit faux wreath and garlands. Finally - candlelight – because candles add a warm, cosy glow to any space and make your decor feel more luxurious; these need not be real flame – the battery-operated candles these days come with a flicker, just like the real thing and with our candle tree lights you can amplify the luxury by featuring these on the tree.
Quick and pretty Christmas décor to refresh the tree
The best new ornaments you can select for adding a luxury look to your tree are those made of high quality materials like glass decorations, pearl garlands and velvet bows. Our Pearly Elegance trend this year is packed-full of easy luxury Christmas decor ideas because we have focused on the concept of less - but more of it and featured additional luxury elements of tassels and candle tree lights. Choosing ornaments that are both unique and eye-catching are central to luxurious Christmas decor, such as the repeat patterns of the pearl swags on our Pearly Elegance tree. These pearl swags work particularly well – just like our velvet Christmas tree bows, they don’t require a complete overhaul of your décor but will completely transform the look of your tree - without abandoning all of your treasured decorations.
Christmas wall décor ideas for a luxury look
One way to create a luxurious Christmas wall decor is to decorate a mirror or canvas on the wall with a garland swag – if you use a pre-lit garland, this will also introduce festive lighting to neglected corners and make your display even more festive and eye-catching. Pre-lit garlands are also a great way to decorate hallways where plug sockets might be more of a problem since they’re battery operated and are an all-in-one styling solution for a console table. When it comes to hallways, another idea is to create a gallery wall using unique Christmas-themed wall décor – remember, wreaths aren’t solely for the door, and our hanging wooden stars take up very little room when decorating a small space.
Luxury Christmas décor ideas using wrapping paper
The best Christmas decorating ideas picked by our stylists include the use of wrap and ribbon. Each year, on location, we use our luxury Christmas wrapping paper when setting up Christmas for the perfect shot. Adding parcels to surfaces, garlands, staircases, and consoles is an easy, affordable way to tie everything together if you just want to update your look or change your colour scheme. Our buyers carefully pair the ribbon to the wrap and the wrap to the tree. What this means is that by choosing one new statement ornament and hanging your new bauble in a checkerboard pattern on the tree, you can also pair the colour of the bauble to pretty wrapped parcels throughout the house - and this effortlessly create a whole Christmas look, which will always feels luxurious.
Stylish Christmas colour ideas for 2023
With our Christmas trends, we offer a complete Christmas look from which to take inspiration – and the colour scheme on each is always small in order to communicate an impactful look. For those looking at chic Christmas colour combinations for 2023 to refresh the look, we have seen silver feature heavily this year – which we have fully embraced with our Lametta Christmas trend - and introduced to update our traditional festive look, “Holiday Christmas”, which celebrates red, white and silver this year – instead of your more traditional red, white and green. Again, pair your chosen Christmas colour with beautifully wrapped Christmas presents beneath the tree for impact or by using tree bows throughout the house – tied to drawer fronts, chairs - and your existing wreath and garland. Rich colours will always communicate luxury; use deep, warm colours like burgundy, forest green, and gold to create an opulent look.
Christmas tree skirts to refresh your holiday aesthetic
In summary, creating luxurious Christmas decor is all about attention to detail and selecting high-quality materials and decorations like glass and velvet - and with our easy updates to transform your look, luxury Christmas decor need not be expensive. Simply remember to spread Christmas throughout the home using our easy ideas for that impressive 'whole house' scheme. Don't forget to top and tail your tree for a professional look using a tree skirt and tree topper - and if there's space for a second tree, display one in the kitchen or dining room, in a basket or planter, and complete your luxury festive look.
