Holiday Decorating Themes
I’m seeing both beloved and unique holiday trends and decorating themes this year. Let’s explore!
Nutcrackercore
Holiday classic ballet The Nutcracker with whimsical, fairy-tale-like elements that makes children’s dreams of the Sugar Plum Fairy come true. Music boxes featuring this theme are popular this year.
Colors: Red, white, blue, gold
Materials: Wood, velvet, silver, feathers
Nonna Holiday
Anything your grandmother would have made or had in her home. Family time, food and cooking aesthetics, home-made decorations, doilies and crocheted items. Comfy and cozy!
Colors: Red, green, gold, cream
Materials: Sweater fabrics, velvets
Gothmas
Halloween isn’t the only time for dark and moody yet romantic vibes! Candles, dark red velvet, bone china, black and white checkerboard, and statement bows in black with pearls can be used through the winter holidays, too. These custom Gothmas fabrics by Spoonflower are sure to add some dark whimsy to your home.
Colors: Black, red, purple, grey, white

Supper Club
At-home entertaining is back in vogue! The classic dinner party is a great way to host for the holidays, using vintage serving ware, cocktail items, fabric placemats and full table settings.
