No Comments on Christmas 2021 decor: The farmhouse look is trending

I don’t know about you, but I love a clear decor theme at Christmas time. Typically, I defer to a specific colour palette (rose gold and blush for example) and when looking for inspiration, Pinterest is my first port of call. With 400 million global users I’m certainly not alone and with such a huge volume of searches, the platform is a great way to gain insight into what is trending. Unsurprisingly, this month’s findings centre around beautiful, festive ideas.

Farmhouse Christmas decor
Searches for ‘farmhouse Christmas decor’ have increased by 60 percent locally over the past month; it seems that many people will be embracing laid-back, rustic charm over the holiday season. Pinterest is brimming with tablescape ideas on this front including rustic reindeer bunting, eucalyptus leaf ornaments and personalised stockings.

Gingham, check and plaid
With gingham a hot design trend it is no surprise to see searches for that, check and plaid are all up. A super easy way to incorporate the pattern into your Christmas tablescape is via a table runner. This particular tabletop item had fallen out of favour over the last decade but it seems to be back with Pinterest reporting a 35 percent increase in searches for ‘Christmas table runner.’

Summer Christmas ideas
There’s no denying that an Australian Christmas is a very different experience to one in the Northern hemisphere and our festive eating and drinking habits reflect it. Too hot to crank up the oven and feed people heavy meals and mulled wine, Aussies go for less traditional food choices such as seafood and salad and this year, finger food is trending. Pinterest has seen a 75 percent increase in local searches for ‘finger food appetizers’ alongside a 35 percent increase in searches for ‘outdoor entertaining.’ Unsurprising really!

No Comments on Pinterest Christmas decorations: top 10 ideas

There’s something about Christmas that inspires creativity in even the most craft-averse people and with the bespoke, homespun aesthetic a classic Christmas look, it makes sense that people turn to Pinterest every year for inspiration. Incredibly, Pinterest holds over 235 million boards created around festive planning and people start collating ideas for the festive season as early as July!

The recently published Pinterest Festive Celebrations Report 2018 has rounded up the top ideas that ‘pinners’ are searching for which gives us some insight into how people will be decorating their lives this Christmas.

Creative table napkins
Searches for ‘creative table napkins’ are up a whopping 540 per cent at present. I like the simple bit of greenery atop a textured plain napkin option below.

Letter board menus
Searches for ‘letter board menus’ are up 472 per cent at present and it’s easy to see why. The letter board has been trending for a while now and not only are they relatively inexpensive to purchase but they add an air of chic formality to the Christmas table.

Asymmetric holiday wreath
A modern take on a classic, I love the less is more approach to the asymmetric wreath below. Plus, it also proves that a simple splash of greenery is all you need.

Holiday card display
What better way to display your Christmas cards and festive season pics than with a series of string lights?

Zero waste gift wrapping
I love this idea and, in this era of zero waste, I can see it really taking off. Tea towels make for fabulous Christmas gift wrap.

Up cycled ornaments
With searches up 325 per cent, this is one to tackle with the kids. The up cycled ornament below was made with a twig, twine and miscellaneous pieces of ribbon.

Plaid
Always a classic look, I’m not surprised that searches for ‘plaid’ are up 417 per cent this season. You can never go wrong with a chic check.

Glass bottle candle holders
A great way to reuse old bottles, searches for ‘glass bottle candle holders’ are up 40 per cent at present. I love the simple water and foliage styling below.

Leaf place card
With searches up 116 per cent, the leaf place card is looking like a solid Christmas favourite. A simple spring of rosemary works wonders below.

Fairy lights
While they’re not exactly a new idea, I suspect people are searching new ways to use their fairy lights. I love them in a garden for a touch of festive whimsy.
