Christmas Trends 2025: What’s Coming for Commercial Interiors
As the festive season approaches, the landscape of Christmas décor is evolving — and for 2025, the focus in commercial and workplace interiors is sharper than ever. From bold thematic statements to refined materials and meaningful sustainability, the trends set to dominate this year reflect changing priorities across design, branding and wellness.
1. Maximalist Magic Meets Heritage Charm
One of the most prominent trends for 2025 is the return of grandeur. Designers highlight a shift from minimalist “just a tree and some lights” schemes to layered, expressive displays rich in texture and story.
Think stacked ornaments, cascading garlands, and the revival of heirloom pieces — with tartan plaids, velvet textures, deep jewel tones, and vintage accents offering a warm, nostalgic feel.

2. Colour, Texture & Alternative Palettes
Colour palettes for 2025 are all about richness and contrast. Jewel tones like deep purples, crimsons and fuchsias are replacing muted neutrals.

Meanwhile, monochrome styling — black, white and sculptural forms — is gaining traction in contemporary settings.

Texture plays a major role too: velvets, satin bows, metallic finishes, and reflective glass and crystal elements bring luxury and depth to seasonal displays.
3. Nature, Greenery & Sustainability
Green continues its dominance in festive décor — but now in a more sophisticated guise. Fresh garlands, topiaries, live and faux foliage, and large-scale green installations are being used to bring life into commercial environments.

Bespoke & Experience-Driven Installations
For workplaces, hotels and other commercial settings, 2025 is less about off-the-shelf decoration and more about curated experiences. Installations are being designed as immersive environments that reflect the customer's brand, create a strong visitor impact, and increase social media visibility. In this context, engaging specialist interior landscaping and design firms is increasingly important. For example, tailored installations that consider line-of-sight, material finishes and visitor journeys can create memorable impressions that last beyond the season.
Bring the Magic of Christmas to Your Space
While trends offer inspiration, that’s all they are—ideas to spark creativity. Christmas is, above all, a time for joy, imagination, and personal expression. Whether you prefer a traditional palette, bold contemporary colours, sustainable elements or something completely unique, the right décor is the one that makes your space feel magical to you. There are no strict rules, no limits—just the freedom to celebrate the season in a way that reflects your style, your brand, and the atmosphere you want to create. After all, Christmas decorating should be fun, and your space should shine in the way you love most.
