Maegan-Leigh JacobsChristmas is the time of year when our homes come alive with joy and festivity. It’s a season of warmth, love, and giving, and what better way to celebrate it than by decorating your home in style?
To help you get a head start on decking the halls for Christmas 2023, we’re taking a look at the top 5 Christmas decor trends for 2023 according to experts at House Beautiful.
While the timeless red and green theme will forever hold a special place in our hearts, 2023 is all about pushing the boundaries of holiday decor. From glass ornaments to metallic accents and warm colour palettes, this year’s Christmas trends promise to infuse your home with elegance, charm, and modernity.
Glass Ornaments: Effortless Elegance

One significant trend designers are embracing this year is the use of glass in Christmas decor. Glass, with its inherent elegance, provides a striking contrast to the more elaborate holiday decorations. Glass ornaments come in delicate shapes, and translucent colours, and boast handmade textures that add a touch of magic to any space. Whether hanging from your Christmas tree or artfully arranged in bowls as centerpieces, these glass ornaments will captivate your guests and create a serene holiday atmosphere.
Metallics, Brass, and Chrome Accents: A Touch of Glam
Brass and chrome decor are here to stay, even beyond the holiday season. You can easily transition from a holiday look to a year-round style by swapping out seasonal foliage. A brass vase adorned with holly can effortlessly transform into a chic vessel for spring cherry blossoms. These metallic accents infuse your home with glitz and glamour, ensuring your space shines with sophistication.

Warm Colours: Adding a Cosy Glow
Step away from traditional colour schemes and embrace the warmth of colours like blush. Amanda Macuga notes that blush, when combined with traditional gold, silver, and jewel tones, brings a refreshing and cosy glow to your holiday decor.
Minimalism: Embracing Simplicity

For those who lean towards minimalism, 2023 brings a modern Christmas decor trend tailored to your tastes. Design experts at House Beautiful foresee a shift towards understated decor, moving away from bold “green and red” combinations. Instead, expect to see muted greenery and moody neutrals taking center stage. This minimalist approach allows for a clean and elegant holiday aesthetic that complements your existing home decor.
Jewel-Tone Glassware: Rich and Luxurious
Rich jewel tones, such as burgundy, teal, and emerald, take center stage in Christmas decor this season. Metallic accents and glassware are perfect ways to incorporate these opulent colours into your holiday setup. Glassware, in particular, is a versatile and long-lasting investment that elevates your holiday toasts, making them both look and feel chic.
