A Guide to Elegant Christmas Styling.

Christmas styling for 2025 is all about ease — thoughtful layers, natural textures and beautifully simple touches that make your home feel warm, welcoming and lived in. Whether you love a traditional look or prefer a softer, more understated approach, these ideas will help you style with intention and elegance.

1. Add Bouncy, Beautiful Bows

Oversized ribbons and bows are one of this year’s biggest styling moments. Their soft shape brings movement, colour and charm to any space. 

Try adding them to:

• Wreaths hanging in your entryway

• Your Christmas tree (ribbon cascades feel especially elegant)

• Candlesticks on the dining table

• Lampshades or sconces

• Framed artwork

• Kitchen stools or to your mirror for a console styling moment

Choose linen, velvet or grosgrain ribbons that feel textural and timeless. Neutrals are beautiful, but soft greens and deep reds bring a classic warmth without overwhelming your palette.

2. Style Bowls of Baubles Throughout Your Home

Bowls of baubles are the easiest way to add Christmas charm while keeping things refined.

Place them in three key spaces for visual continuity:

• Entry table — a simple welcome moment

• Coffee table — layered into a tray or bowl

• Console or powder room — a subtle nod to the season

Stick to one palette or mix metallics for a collected, elegant look.

3. Weave in Natural Greenery

Greenery instantly brings softness and calm.
Try:

• Draping garlands along your console or media unit

• Adding sprigs to your tablescape

• Styling small arrangements in vases or bowls

• Mixing pine with eucalyptus for a distinctly Australian festive feel

Natural or faux both work beautifully — it’s the layered texture that counts.

4. Create a Warm Evening Glow with Lighting

Lighting transforms the mood of your home during the festive season.
Think:

• Soft table lamps with warm-toned globes

• Clusters of pillar candles on a sideboard

• Fairy lights woven through shelves or garlands

This gentle glow sets the tone for relaxed summer entertaining and adds depth to your existing furniture pieces.

5. Build a Meaningful Tablescape

Holiday dining doesn’t need to be elaborate. Anchor your table with a linen cloth, add simple layered dinnerware, include a few natural elements, and finish with taper candles or a long ribbon running the centre like a relaxed runner.

For added charm, place a small ornament or sprig of greenery on each place setting.

6. Add Moments of Nostalgia

Scatter small, sentimental touches that make the home feel personal and festive:

• A framed Christmas photo leaning on your console

• A favourite ornament displayed on a bedside table

• A seasonal cookbook open on your kitchen bench
  

These little gestures make your home feel warm, welcoming and authentically yours.

Whether you begin with a single bow or refresh an entire room, these ideas are designed to help you create a Christmas that feels effortless, elegant and deeply inviting — and we hope they bring a little extra joy and calm to your festive season.
