Christmas Styling Trends for 2022

Here at Spode, you know we don’t shy away from a touch (or heavy dose) of maximalist décor and for our festive celebrations it’s certainly no different. For Christmas 2022 we’re looking to set the scene for the merriest of celebrations with a kaleidoscope of colour and all the trimmings, perfect for fabulous times together. If your inner maximalist is as keen for this as we are, read on to discover the top Christmas interior trends our stylists have picked out for the season of feasting and toasting ahead.

Take a joyful approach to Christmas with the Merry and Bright trend. Rich shades of purple, red and green pair with contrasting brights and joyful prints to bring colour to your home and, most importantly, to your Christmas table. The key to keeping this look stylish is to pair playful touches with natural elements, like dried flowers, and layer twinkly fairy lights and candles on top of punchy fabrics in striking jewel tones.

To showcase the Merry and Bright trend we’ve styled two tablescapes perfect for hosting a fantastical celebration. For a weekend get-together with friends leading up to Christmas we strongly recommend a festive afternoon tea. The vibrant mix and match shades of our Zoological Gardens collection pops against the contrasting deep purple runner, while the leopard print tablecloth nods back to the exotic design details featured in the tableware pattern.

For the main event, we’ve styled Spode’s nostalgic Christmas Tree tableware with linens featuring a contrasting contemporary pattern. Punctuated with a bright red runner, green napkins, and hints of gold, it’s the perfect mix of traditional and modern. For additional touches of festive magic we’ve added quirky tabletop accessories, such as the adorable Nutcracker salt and pepper shakers. An irresistible setting for the Christmas-obsessed.

The Loud and Proud trend invites you to mix up traditional aesthetics for a dose of much needed fun and making your Christmas uniquely you. So, to give our iconic Blue Italian collection a festive twist we’ve kept it classic with hints of warm gold, while taking it to the next level with sprinkles of bright pinks and extravagant flourishes to finish. Blue and white will always create a timeless look, but paired with modern touches unexpected of a festive tablescape you can create an elegant setting full of personality.

Nothing says celebration like the sparkle of gold and silver. And if you like your celebrations with a hint of indulgence the Luxury Metallic décor trend is the one for you. Dramatic metallics paired with deep toned textiles creates a sumptuous setting, while additional bright colour pops, twinkly lights, and the flickers of candlesticks adds warmth to the cool metallic accents. 

Our Creatures of Curiosity collection adds the perfect hint of luxury with its 22 carat gold embellishments, while its moody florals and animal print add an intriguing layer for a decadent setting.
