The best festive trends of 2023
Can you believe it's nearly that time of year again? Time to dust off the stockings, make that plum pudding, and send your wish list off to the North Pole - yep, Christmas is almost here! We can't pop over to wrap all your presents and stuff the turkey for you, so instead we've hunted down the best festive trends to give you some Christmas decoration ideas that will make the most wonderful time of the year even more magical. And who knows - perhaps a special someone in a big red suit will be paying you a visit!
Bushland Delights
With a focus on natural, textural materials - think woven baskets, pinecones and feathers - the Bushland Delights theme is a glam twist on the classic Christmas look. There's also a traditional element, with nutcrackers and wreaths featuring heavily, but greens and reds are out in favour of soft metallics, crisp white and chic pewter ornaments.
Starting with the tree, the kids will love hanging the cute little mushrooms, butterflies and glitter balls on the branches. There are also some stylishly-dressed reindeer and Aussie animals thrown into the mix, giving it a really fun, family vibe. Carry the theme throughout the house with nutcracker and fairy princess statuettes and soft textiles like this gorgeous "Joy" cushion. And as far as Christmas wreath ideas go, this one is oh-so simple yet so effective - it's a subtle glow-up of the traditional style, with beautiful blooms and bronze highlights.
Garden Wonder by Chyka Home
It's cute, quirky and unique, and it will make your home the place to be on Christmas Day - it's Chyka's latest Christmas collection, Garden Wonder. A classic Christmas colour palette of green and metallics with some novelty decorations thrown in - what's not to love?!
The kids will adore the gorgeous carrots, avocados, watering cans and bees, and there are plenty of glass baubles in both patterned and solid matte designs to break up the novelty decorations. Chyka carries the green and white theme through to soft furnishings, including this striped cushion that will have your mouth watering for a mint lolly, and these sweet little glass greenhouses.
Chyka has also included plenty of general décor that will look fantastic on the mantlepiece, buffet or Christmas lunch table, such as this wooden sleigh and standing fabric reindeer. And in true Chyka style, no detail has been forgotten - she's even designed a beautiful tree skirt to jazz up the bottom of the tree, and Christmas crackers that coordinate with the rest of the look!
Traditional
All these modern, on-trend Chrissy looks are great, but sometimes you just crave the nostalgia of an old-school, traditional celebration. Maybe it reminds you of the amazing lunch your grandparents would put on when you were a child, or perhaps you're keen to immerse your own kids in the wonder of a North Pole Christmas - minus the snow, of course! Don't worry, Soren has you covered with their delightful range.
There are fabric Santas and gnomes, nutcrackers and drummers, and of course, everything is red, white and green - just how the jolly old man himself prefers it! With a gorgeous frosted sisal wreath adorning your door and a star atop the tree, your home will be the Winter Wonderland you've been craving - you may need to dial up the AC if it's a typical Aussie summer day, though!
And we all know that Santa only comes to kids who have sent him a politely-worded note - so this "Letters to Santa" music box is the ultimate Traditional Christmas piece. Just watch the kids' eyes light up when they turn the handle!
