With a lot of us seeking comfort in the past, nostalgic Christmas styles are back. Elegant palettes, tactile textures, and hints of metallic add comfort and familiarity. Seasonal touches, such as foliage and treasured Christmas trinkets, add further charm. The style has been given a contemporary update for a timeless blend of old and new. So, host festivities to remember with the Vintage Christmas style. Discover more below.

Use a Nostalgic Palette of Toasted Shades

Vintage colourways such as gentle pinks and champagne are timeless yet comfortingly familiar.

Softer yet opulent tones with a hint of shimmer are essential for a vintage Christmas. Spark joy with colourways that feature a rosy tint, too. We love combining shades of rose quartzcopper, and champagne for seasonal sparkle. Add comfort and warmth with richer terracotta and rust colourways. These are ideal for adding snippets of unexpected colour, too. 

Create a Mix of Textures for a Cosy Feel

Layering is essential in Winter, so form snug spaces to enjoy the festivities in.

Mix opulent fabrics such as jacquardsfaux silks, and velvets with laid-back finishes. Plains contrast beautifully with luxurious finishes, especially textured designs with surface interest. Create comfort with tactile fabrics such as boucles. Use for cosy corners that your guests can sink into and relax. Use pine, eucalyptus, sprigs and branches for garlands and foliage in vases. Pair with twinkling fairy lights, which look striking against fabrics featuring metallic yarns.

 Combine Vintage and Contemporary Christmas Decorations

Pair treasured pieces from over the years with new, cherished trinkets.

Pink is on-trend for Christmas this year. The colour provides a sense of nostalgia whilst creating a contemporary feel. Use shades of pink instead of more traditional colourways such as red or green. Bows are also trending this year, and add the perfect touch of whimsical, playful décor. These pair well with more traditional baubles and decorations, too. Coordinate your ribbon colour with your fabrics and Christmas decorations. Add them to garlands, stockings, and most importantly, your tree.

Add Hints of Sparkle with Metallic Finishes

Metallic accents are ideal for reminding you of the celebrations ahead.

Choose metallic fabrics for small soft furnishings such as scatter cushions, throws, and accessories. These are ideal for introducing sparkle to a space without overwhelming it. Drapery in beautiful metallic fabrics set the perfect backdrop to twinkling trees, too. Pair with shimmering Christmas decorations and warm-toned fairy lights for an enchanting scheme.
