Top 10 contemporary Christmas decorations

December 17, 2015 By Sara Walker Leave a Comment

Are you still using the same tired tinsel and boring baubles you’ve had since 1993?

Christmas decorations are about so much more than red and green glitter these days – there’s a wide variety of sleek, contemporary and different decorations out there, in tune with the modern home.

Why not update your festive theme this year with these top 10 picks?

1. Ceramic tangled web bauble, Swanky Maison

This handmade ceramic bauble is something a little different with its tangled web design. Every one is individually made and unique – making them the perfect adornment for your Christmas tree this year. Presented in a gift box, these would also make thoughtful presents. £20, available from Swanky Maison.

2. Holly twig and snow bauble tea light holder, The Farthing

The candle sits of this glass ‘bauble’, filled with faux holly twigs and snow for a Christmassy feel. An elegant table decoration for this year’s Christmas table or perfect placed on a mantlepiece. £9.95, available in a choice of three styles from The Farthing.

3. Mirrored prisms Christmas decorations, Monty’s Vintage Shop

A combination of brass and mirrors in these prism Christmas decorations means they reflect the tree lights or candle flames beautifully. With a retro, vintage feel about them, they’d work with any decor. Available in large or small, prices start at £9 from Monty’s Vintage Shop.

4. Ice Christmas tree decoration, Giselda Graham

This opulent Christmas tree decoration is made from clear cut acrylic giving it the appearance of cut crystal at a fraction of the price. This pretty little tree will catch the light from candles or tree lights and send sparkles across the room as it spins. £4.50, available from The Contemporary Home.

5. Driftwood Christmas tree with star, Idyll Home

This sweet Nordic style Christmas tree makes a lovely tabletop decoration for Christmas dinner and parties, or put it on a table in the corner of a room with little fairy lights if you don’t have space for the real thing. It would also look pretty in an outside location, sheltered from the weather. £27.50 from Idyll Home.

6. Copper flower/star decoration, Pluto Sweden

Beautifully simple and utterly Scandinavian, this stylish copper metal star is an unusual decoration that would look good hanging from the tree, mantelpiece or as part of a table decoration. £4.50, also available in other styles from The Scandinavian Shop.

7. Grey honeycomb paper balls, Ginger Ray

8. Personalised family Christmas tree wall sticker, Spin Collective

No space for a conventional tree? How about this personalised Christmas tree wall sticker, measuring 105cm high?  Just personalise the bucket text with your own phrase for a decoration that’s unique. The sticker can be peeled off and repositioned, as well. £24, available from Spin Collective.

9. Partridge decorations, Giselda Graham

Create your very own twelve days of Christmas with these wonderful wooden partridge decorations in a vibrant folksy style. These come in a choice of three colourways so you can mix and match, and would look lovely as impromtu gift tags tied onto parcel ribbon. £5 each from The Contemporary Home.
