If you choose to deck your halls for the holidays, there’s a style out there for just about any taste. But some decor themes are particularly popular this year, and two of Canada’s major home improvement retailers have created collections to get the look. Experts from Rona and The Home Depot Canada spoke about six holiday decor styles that will resonate in 2024:
Retro Fun: “This colourful collection with retro charm brings personality to any decor, while maintaining a timeless vibe that captures the joy and energy of the holiday season,” says Lydia Thammavong, head design for styles and trends at Rona.
Key pieces: Mr. Christmas Assorted Hugger Elves 12-inch ($8.99 each) and Mr. Christmas Jukebox LED 8-Song ($59.99).
Quiet Beauty: “The Quiet Beauty story sees a shift towards warmer iced looks,” says Carla Moreira, manager of trend and design at The Home Depot Canada. “Less focus on sparkle and glamour, more focus on warmth, comfort and natural materials.”
Key pieces: Home Accents Holiday 18-inch Feather Wreath with Glitter Edge ($29.98) and Home Accents Holiday 7.5-foot Heavy Flocked Downswept Pine ($368).
Crafted Cabin: “Crafted Cabin is a fresh cheerful take on a classic Christmas but refreshed for 2024 with artisan and Craftsman influences,” says Moreira. “Ski cabins, bells and candy canes are some of the key icons present in this collection.”
Key pieces: Home Accents Holiday 3-pack Ceramic Cone Tree with lights ($34.98) and Home Accents Holiday 12-inch Gold Metal Star Tree Topper ($19.98).
Vintage Elegance: “Dark colour palettes are popular right now because they create distinguished and charming spaces,” says Thammavong. “This theme is the way to go for a holiday decor that exudes an all-enveloping, intimate and refined ambience.”
Key pieces: Celebrations by L&CO 15-inch Nutcracker ($29.99) and Celebrations by L&CO Red Paper Ornament 2-pack ($7.99).
Gold Rush: “Gold Rush consists of a simple yet striking colour palette of high contrast metallics. It sets the stage with clean and tailored deco influences, making it the perfect transition to New Year’s celebrations,” says Moreira.
Key pieces: Home Accents Holiday Ornament Garland Gold ($24.98) and Home Accents Holiday 18-inch Gold Wreath ($29.98).
Enchanted Forest: “Nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration,” says Thammavong. “The Enchanted Forest collection highlights the beauty of the forest with a reinterpretation that is at once whimsical, chic and romantic.”
Key pieces: Celebrations by L&CO 17-inch Wood Potted Winter Table Decoration ($34.99) and Celebrations by L&CO Hanging Ornamental Mistletoe 8-inch ($2.99).
