Holiday Décor Trends 2025: What's In (and How to Make It Yours)

Holiday Décor Trends 2025: What's In (and How to Make It Yours)
*From the Design Desk at LBI

As the holiday season approaches, we’re seeing fresh, creative energy in the world of holiday décor—and our team couldn’t be more excited! At LBI, we live and breathe interior design all year long, but there’s something truly magical about the holidays. It's the one time of year when homes become personal wonderlands—glowing, cozy, and full of meaning.

Whether you're starting from scratch or adding a few new touches to your tried-and-true traditions, we’ve gathered this year’s top trends straight from our designers—and yes, you can find it all in our retail shops.

1. Soft Luxe: Understated Glamour Takes the Stage

Goodbye glitter overload. Hello soft luxe. This season, we’re embracing understated elegance with muted metallics (think brushed gold and antique silver), plush textures like velvet and mohair, and delicate lighting that glows instead of glares.

Design Tip: Try layering velvet ribbons, metallic ornaments, and frosted greenery on your mantel. Visit our stores to shop our curated "Soft Luxe" collection—complete with ornament sets, faux garlands, and candleholders that shimmer subtly.

2. Nature-Inspired Everything

From woodland creatures to forest greens, natural elements are everywhere this season. Expect to see pinecones, mossy textures, birch wood, and even mushrooms making an appearance. Earth tones pair beautifully with creams, burnt oranges, and rustic reds for a warm, grounded holiday palette.

In Stores Now: Our best-selling handcrafted wooden deer and foraged wreaths are back! Designed to bring the outdoors in—with zero mess.

3. Moody Hues & Dark Holiday Drama

While bright red and green will always have a place, many of our clients are embracing moody hues—deep plum, midnight blue, charcoal, and forest green—for a more dramatic holiday look. When paired with gold accents or jewel-toned glassware, the result is rich and modern.

Design Tip: Swap your tree skirt for a textured faux fur or dark velvet base to anchor this look. Our team hand-selected ornaments in jewel tones you can mix and match—come see them in person!

4. Layered Lighting is the New Tree Star

We’re talking more than just string lights. Think: layered taper candles, battery-operated lanterns, LED fairy lights woven through garlands, and illuminated glass domes. Lighting is no longer just functional—it’s a major design element.

5. Personalized & Heirloom-Inspired Touches

The holidays are about you, and we’re seeing a resurgence of personalized ornaments, monogrammed stockings, and heirloom-quality pieces meant to be passed down. It’s not about having a “perfect” setup—it’s about telling your story.

6. Sustainable & Reusable Styling

More customers are asking: "Can I reuse this next year?" Our answer: absolutely. From reusable wrapping cloths (hello, Furoshiki!) to high-quality faux trees and garlands that last for years, sustainability is more than a trend—it's a lifestyle.

What’s New: Our eco-friendly décor line features recycled glass ornaments, reusable table linens, and sustainably sourced wood accents. Gorgeous and green.

7. Holiday Tables That Wow

The holiday table is getting a glow-up. Expect elegant place settings, layered linens, mismatched antique-inspired glassware, and nature-inspired centerpieces. More and more, holiday hosts are treating the dining table like an extension of their living room.

Design Help Available: Need help styling your table? Our in-store stylists are here to help you pull together the perfect tablescape for your holiday dinner or cocktail party.

Stop By & See the Magic for Yourself

The beauty of this season is that there’s no one way to decorate. Whether you lean minimalist, traditional, or full-on festive, our shops are stocked with pieces that mix and match beautifully—plus expert guidance from our in-house designers.
