Everything Merry And Bright: 6 Holiday Decor Trends

The new chill in the air is your first clue: It’s time to start thinking about your holiday decor — indoors and out.

Your home should reflect the sparkle and glow of the holidays, both for your family’s enjoyment and for holiday guests.

Here’s a look at some holiday decor trends.

Holiday Decor Trend #1: Install Decor Before Thanksgiving

Like it or not, the holidays seem to be starting earlier each year. More families want their home dressed up, inside and out, before Thanksgiving so the festivities can kick in as soon as the leftover turkey is tucked in the fridge.

Many families have “lighting ceremonies” on Thanksgiving night to switch on the lights, oooh and aah and kick off the holiday season. Get everything in place early and all you have to do is bask in the glow.

Holiday Decor Trend #2: Light Up Your Indoor Entryway

You’ve probably already thought of lighting up the exterior of your home to add holiday cheer to the neighborhood. Don’t neglect your indoor entryway.

Decorating the foyer and entry staircase railings with lights, greenery and decorations welcomes you with holiday spirit every time you come home and provides a lovely first impression for your guests.

Holiday Decor Trend #3: Multicolor Lights

Yes, twinkling white lights are timeless and elegant. But more families, especially those with young children, are choosing multicolor lights for their indoor and outdoor decorating.

Colorful lights add a spark of fun and capture the childhood wonder of the holidays.

Holiday Decor Trend #4: Mixing Holiday Traditions

These days, families are often a wonderful blend of religions, backgrounds and traditions. Your holiday decor should celebrate the diversity. Don’t be afraid to combine a Christmas tree in the picture window with a menorah on the mantel with the bountiful fruit and vegetable displays of Kwanzaa.

Mixing these different holiday traditions can be done tastefully, and it will make everyone in the family feel celebrated.

Holiday Decor Trend #5: Advances In Lighting

Energy-efficient LED lights continue to replace incandescent lights on the holiday scene. LEDs are now available in warmer tones to mimic the glow of traditional incandescent bulbs.

One of the newest advancements in LED lighting is the color changing RGB bulb. Each individual bulb has the ability to change into many different hues at a gentle pace, creating a gorgeous light show inside and captivating passersby.

Holiday Decor Trend #6: Technology Rules

Sometimes, a simple wreath and a few strands of lights just doesn’t express a family’s passion for the holidays. It takes thousands of synchronized lights, a computerized show with music and animated characters beckoning from the front lawn.

The possibilities would dazzle even Santa.
