Holiday Decor Trends for 2021

Creating a joyful and uplifting space that stimulates warmth, tactility, and togetherness is what we all need this holiday season. Read on for our top Holiday Decor Trends for 2021!

By working with our new Interior Styles Packages introduced with the Life Collection™, our Design Team has shown how each of our styles pair perfectly with the following decor items:

Mixed Metallics

As we have seen previously, metallics continue to take the lead this year! Silvers, chromes and frosty metals are muted, bringing the snowy outside in – without the freezing cold temperatures, explains Jennifer Derry at Balsam Hill. Metallics provide shine and texture while the minimal pops of colour keep this trend fresh and current.

Don’t be afraid to layer soft golds, silvers, whites, rose gold and bronze for a borderline maximalist feel. This palette will feel festive without a single Santa, candy cane or pop of red in sight.

We have paired this trend with our SHORELINE Interior style.

**SHORELINE** is inspired by the stylish and serene coastal town of Cape Cod. Inviting and approachable, this timeless look captures the charm and beauty of misting rain and the warmth of driftwood on rolling beaches. Calm greys and slim shaker cabinetry are softened by the marbled details in the quartz countertops, beveled backsplash tile and warm wood flooring. The entire look is pulled together with classic brushed nickel details found throughout your home in the hardware, faucets, and designer lighting.

Hygge

For lovers of simple, try a look that incorporates hygge. Lindsey Matthews at Country Living defines it perfectly—pronounced ‘hoo-ga’—this Danish concept encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being by enjoying the simple things in life. This look incorporates natural elements, texture, and soft tones.

Sass and Belle also promote the ‘eco’ route and ask us to consider artisanal, hand crafted, recycled glass and papier-mache decorations which are fast becoming a favourite in many households. Add candles, tree scents and tone down the sparkles, ribbon and unnecessary kitsch.

These natural elements tie in seamlessly with the Scandinavian feel of our NORDIC ELEMENTS Interior Style.

**NORDIC ELEMENTS** is inspired by classic Scandinavian design. Understated but impactful, this look takes cues from the mid-century modern movement, creating a perfect harmony of muted hues and natural elements. Vanilla white and warm, wood textured cabinets are grounded by black hardware and tile. Textured backsplash tiles add softness and movement to counterbalance the sleek profiles of the countertops and door profiles. Black hardware, faucets and show-stopping lighting add the perfect finishing touch to this home.

Layers of White

For those who love the clean feeling of fresh snow—whites paired on whites is perfect for staying contemporary and festive!

Texture and tone become imperative in pulling together this look and it boasts a light and airy feel that works with any decor! Think chunky knits, soft stone textures, rustic white washed wood and vintage milk glass.

We love how it compliments our MIDSUMMER Interior Style.

**MIDSUMMER** is inspired by the perfect “golden hour” lighting that makes everything it touches shimmer. Soft and bright, this understated look captures the magic and beauty of a setting sun. Creamy white cabinets, countertops and tile are grounded by warm wood flooring. The lines of the backsplash tiles create movement and are highlighted by the gleaming gold accents of the handles, hardware, high-end faucets and upscale lighting, tying everything together in a beautiful warm glow.

Dark and Stormy

Like the drink, this one is a mix of dark tones and soft spiced woods. Think rich blacks, cinnamon and walnut coming together to create a moody, rich palette. Not for the faint of heart as this non-traditional styling is quite bold.

Layering matte, gloss, metal and wood textures help create depth as well as an elegant refined feel to the space.

The bold elements of this trend pair perfectly with our OBSIDIAN Interior style.
