Out of style: which ornaments to avoid hanging on the Christmas tree this year.

Every year, the fashion trends for Christmas tree decorations change, so it's important to plan ahead for your New Year's and Christmas decor. “24 channel” shared which ornaments you should avoid using on your tree to keep it looking modern.

Large Christmas Ornaments

The past trends favoring large ornaments and bright colors are now fading away. This year, the trend leans towards more subdued choices: elegant bows, small decorations, and a monochromatic color palette.

The new trend is sophistication and minimalism.

Oversized and Colorful Garlands

Colorful and oversized garlands are also beginning to lose popularity. They are being replaced by more understated options: small lights with white or golden glows.

Excessive Shine

While the festive season calls for a bit of sparkle, too many metallic and reflective elements can give the tree an “outdated” look, so it’s better to opt for interesting textures and patterns. For instance, consider adding details made of felt or wood.

Classic Color Schemes

The traditional red and green palette is giving way to more personalized choices. Currently, neutral shades are popular, but unconventional bright colors, such as pink from last year, can also find their place in holiday decor.

Plastic Decorations

Rather than adorning the tree with new ornaments made from a large amount of plastic, creating handmade decorations or reviving old glass and wooden toys is becoming increasingly relevant. Such ornaments add a special charm to the tree.
