This Christmas the main aesthetic for 2023 is best described as… visiting Grandpa’s cabin in the woods. The entire look is under-stated but oh so nostalgic. Each week I will show you my take on the trends starting with:
Bowls full of what just grew this perfectly behind the cabin. The “I grew this" trend with a renewed appreciation for green spaces is definitely apparent in the Christmas decor.
Foraged greenery (or at least greenery or “greenery” styled to look foraged) is high on the Christmas trend list this year. Something like… “we left these here to condition to arrange later, after we drink our hot chocolate” style arrangements.
Large containers filled with fragrant and natural foliage… and then you add a simple ribbon, tinsel and a bauble or three.
But swap the classic red, green and gold baubles for darker moodier hues. This is going to be a huge interior trend in the new year and Dark and Moody is getting a head start in our Christmas designs.
Forest or hunter green, burnt orange, burgundy and the trendiest of all… coal black and dark chocolate brown. And embrace the dark and moody trend with natural elements like dried branches and pinecones… or twig candy canes to add warmth and texture.
Dark and Moody Nature. But let’s make it all sparkly… it’s Christmas time!
Happy Christmas designing, flower buddies!
