Christmas decorations from decades ago are making a comeback this year, replacing the simple, minimalistic aesthetic that has thrived in recent years. Families are now adding a splash of color to their homes and trees and going all out on the baubles, tinsel, and ornaments.
It appears people are getting collectively bored of designs lacking personality and are taking inspiration from older times for this year’s holiday. Here are some outdated decorations you might consider using this Christmas:
Kitschy decor
Kitschy holiday decor is back in style as homemakers are adopting the use of oversized bowls, stockings, vintage jingling bells ,and elf ornaments sitting on the shelf. This makes the living area look straight out of an ‘80s movie, with a touch of color and personality.
Icicles and teardrop ornaments
H & G’s style and trend editor Charlotte Olby says glass teardrop ornaments might be making a comeback as people borrow designs from past times. Icicles add a wet look to the Christmas tree, which is perfect for depicting the frost of winter.
Handed-down heirlooms
The holidays are a wonderful time to highlight sentimental attachments to family and loved one. Heirlooms make for significant decorations during the holidays, as some households use them to pay tribute to their late loved ones or their legacy.
Christmas tree lights
Color is making its way back to homes, and the minimalist gold lighting is getting replaced by red, green, blue, yellow, purple, and more, all on one string of wire. Christmas trees are coming to life across households with these beautiful tree lighting.
Tinsel
Tinsel are a beautiful piece of decoration that has been considered tacky by the recent generation, however, they were the higlhilght of decorations back in the day. Households are adopting them again for their durability, color, and reflective nature for dimly lit rooms.
