Glamorous and Cloud-Soft: Christmas Trends for 2026

Alongside inspiring design, sustainability and practical innovation continue to play an important role. Stunning Christmas baubles made from recycled glass by Inge Glas prove that style and sustainability go hand in hand, while Goldina's gift ribbons, complete with gold foil detailing, are fully compostable. Decorating is also becoming easier thanks to an innovative new string light system from Krinner. Multiple shorter sections connect magnetically, making the lights easy to install, adaptable to different tree sizes and – best of all – completely tangle-free.

Festive Opulence
In 2026, Christmas trees will sparkle with lavishly decorated glass ornaments that shimmer and shine from every angle. Sophisticated colour palettes feature elegant shades such as cream, wine red and burgundy, beautifully paired with gold, black and metallic finishes to create a luxurious festive atmosphere. Richly detailed designs range from intricate decorative patterns and pearl embellishments to gold leaf finishes and colourful motifs. Premium candles with delicate gold-dust finishes and radiant metallic surfaces add refined highlights, perfectly complementing this luxurious aesthetic. The same sense of extravagance extends to gift wrapping. Exquisite papers and ribbons with elaborate designs transform even the smallest presents into eye-catching gifts.

Cosy Christmas
The cosy Scandinavian style, with its light natural tones, has become a firm favourite in festive decorating. For 2026, this clean, understated look receives an irresistibly soft update. Faux fur, feathers and wool feature throughout an endless variety of tactile decorative elements that evoke warmth and comfort. Among the season's standout accessories are cloud-soft stars made from plush fabrics, knitted textiles and faux fur, perfect for creating an inviting atmosphere. They are complemented by the ever-popular Christmas gnomes, complete with irresistibly soft beards and fluffy bows. Velvety flocked finishes transform nutcrackers and deer into wonderfully tactile decorative pieces. Adding an even lighter touch, feather Christmas trees create an ethereal festive ambience, while traditional glass baubles are given a cosy makeover with knitted appliqué details.
