As the festive season approaches, Blocc warmly welcomes you to embark on a journey of holiday enchantment. Discover the magic of Christmas through the design styles, from the exuberant wildness of a Maximalist Festive Fiesta to the cosy warmth of a Rustic Country Holiday, we invite you to explore the wonderful possibilities of festive expression. Read on to find out how to curate your Christmas scene according to each design style.
Merry Minimalism: Sleek & Serene
Wishing you a Minimalist Christmas, where simplicity reigns, and negative space is your trusty ally. Forget about a glitzy Christmas tree—here it’s all about going for a naked tree or bare twigs adorned with warm white fairy lights, uncomplicated with no additional decorations. Keep your colour palette neutral, and complement with fluid shapes and clean lines, all to maintain that minimalistic aesthetic of simplicity and sophistication. When it comes to your front door, opt for a fresh pine or eucalyptus wreath, and intentionally keep free from excessive decorations. If you choose a minimalist approach to the festive decor, you can be sure to find a sense of serenity amid the holiday chaos.
Maximalism: A Festive Fiesta
Maybe this festive season you’re ready to throw out the rules and go all in with a Maximalist Christmas Extravaganza. This one is not for the faint hearted. For those who relish the extravagant and exuberant, a maximalist Christmas will transform your home into a vibrant festive spectacle. Envision a celebration of opulence with lush, over-the-top decorations, eclectic mix of patterns and textures, and an abundance of layers—think wildly delightful ornaments, candy cane garlands, and multicoloured lights all conspiring for a festive explosion. Remember, in maximalism, anything goes, and more really is merrier!
Classic Country Charm: A Holiday Retreat
If you’re craving a scene fresh out of ‘The Holiday’, the Christmas Country style might be the one for you. Envision your home transformed into a rustic retreat, smelling of ginger, spices, and pinecones. Picture a fresh fir tree decorated with quirky handmade ornaments set against an earthy colour palette livened with richly toned festive berry reds. Think big velvet bows, the crackle of a fireplace, plaid blankets draped over a well-loved armchair, flickering candlelight, and a homemade wreath featuring dried citrus and cinnamon sticks – here, an enchanting Christmas awaits.
Industrial Metallica: A Grit and Glitter Gala
Where merry meets metals, you’ll find Industrial Christmas decor. This edgy colour palette embraces deep, dark tones and metallic brilliance, embodying a rock’n’roll spirit with a touch of Gatsby-esque sophistication. Envision matte black hanging paper decorations, Edison bulb string lights wrapped in dark berry garlands, pared-back greenery, metallic elements and flickering black candles set in concrete holders. Consider a wreath made from industrial materials like metal wire and adorned with subtle accents like pinecones or succulents. Soften this masculine theme by indulging in the luxurious comfort of faux fur and sheepskin.
Nordic Magic: A Scandinavian Christmas
For those yearning for a serene winter wonderland, the Scandi Style Christmas is your dream come true. Bring a Nordic Christmas scene to your home through a muted colour palette of earthy tones and wintery pastels, layers of cosy faux fur blankets, snowflake patterns, knitted stockings and wood ornaments hung on a fresh pine tree. Infuse the air with the cleansing scent of eucalyptus used for garlands and wreaths tied with rustic rope and golden bells. This style is a celebration of Christmas contentment channelling the harmony and wellbeing of a hygge lifestyle.
Retro Revival: Nostalgic Noel
Last, but not least, perhaps you are ready to travel back in time and tackle the tinsel for a Retro Christmas. Embrace the kitschy charm of the past with metallic greens, blues and pinks, bring back snow globes, glass baubles, popcorn garlands, multi coloured fairy lights and a tinsel-laden tree for a playful sense of Christmas nostalgia. We love the extra quirky nod to the past through decorating the tree with glittering roller skates or mini cassette ornaments. Board games like Operation, Monopoly and Pictionary are a must, but matching family shell suits are optional. With a Retro Christmas, let the good times roll as your homes transforms into a festive blast from the past.
This festive season, let your home reflect the spirit of the holidays with a theme that resonates with your personal style. From the simplicity of Merry Minimalism to the raw glitz of Industrial Metallica, find inspiration in the diverse tapestry of Christmas themes. At Blocc, we’re here to help you transform your home so that you can celebrate the magic of the season in the most stylish of ways.
