It is now 2025, what do you see when you think of Christmas wreaths? Do you see something with an old fashion touch, or do you think something more abstract? Creative wreaths with more than just tradition are now alight with neon, and touching photorealistic art. In this article, I’ll highlight what’s unique about my favorite wreaths from this year and how I think their different types of wreaths style based on their types of decor. I’ve searched for different types of Christmas wreaths that can balance tradition and change for the purpose of m. These are I think are simple decisions that integrate with modern furniture beautifully from an overall design viewpoint.
Brace yourselves and let’s wander down the creative side of wreaths that fit perfectly in your home for this holiday.
Trending Christmas Wreaths For 2025
This year, Christmas wreaths are evolving into bold statements for both indoor and outdoor spaces. I’ve noticed how designers are leaning toward layered textures, combining evergreens with metallic ribbons, glass accents, and even small integrated lighting. This trend is about mixing tradition with modernity, giving homes a holiday feel without being predictable. Placing these wreaths in the living rooms above mantels, or on wide entry doors, instantly elevates the ambiance to a magical Christmas setting.
When picking out furniture and other decorative pieces, I like to use warm-toned seating with natural wood tables, and velvet cushions that echo the gentle tones of the wreaths. Accent lighting can also add to the wreath’s drama, like using an oversized wreath and combining it with soft LED uplighting. This instantly uplifts the design statement in an open spaced living room.
The multilayered design is versatile in use, which in an arrangement or stand alone, elevates the design to the space instantly giving it that seasonal touch. Wreaths that are used both indoors and outdoors instantly enhance the seasonal look and feel of the space. This observation is in line with how 2025 is predicted to lean towards these wreaths, since I often hear clients say they want a design that can work for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
To improve this trend, I would suggest adding very light scents with dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks to accent the aesthetic nature of the wreath.
One of a Kind, Custom made Christmas Wreath Designs
Custom made Christmas wreaths adds honesty and a sparkle to a home. In my opinion, the handcrafted designs oftentimes also include artisanal fabric bows, handpicked pine, and eucalyptus which contributes to the originality of each piece. These wreaths also include a distinct sense of charm and personality which enhances spaces such as, the kitchen, foyer, and windows. Unlike mass produced designs, these custom made wreaths create a warm interior aesthetic.
Handcrafted wreaths tell stories, infusing care and passion, becoming astonishing statement pieces. I have styled home where a custom made wreath above a console table turns the space into a seasonal vignette. “People increasingly look for decor with a backstory,” said “interior design specialists” from House Beautiful. For this reason, these custom made wreaths are stylish, yet full of purpose.
To continue building on this, I suggest adding more neutral pieces such as, woven baskets or clay vases and placing them around to strengthen the crafted feeling.
Modern Minimalist Christmas Wreaths
Minimalist Christmas wreaths are perfect for those who love the clean uncluttered look. For modern apartments I always suggest simple round wreaths made from dried olive and eucalyptus branches or adorned with monochrome globes. They instantly create a festive vibe without being visually intrusive.
To enhance the wreaths I like to pair them with modern glass coffee tables, neutral sofas, and accent walls in soft whites or greys. In open concept spaces a single minimalist wreath hanging above the fireplace becomes the sole piece of the decor and the focal point.
Personally I think minimalist wreaths are the best as they let the furniture and architecture of the home stand out. They are perfect for those who want discreet seasonal decor as the wreaths don’t disrupt the decor flow. A number of design publications like Architectural Digest love this style for the perfect balance of festive and muted.
One element I love to add is soft and warm ambient illumination. Subtle directional spotlights with warm illumination of soft white above a minimalist wreath transforms its presence dramatically without affecting its minimalist appeal.
Extra Large Xmas Wreaths
The oversized Christmas wreaths are gaining interest for 2025 Christmas for being bold and a defining piece, one can assume, especially for access ways, great rooms and for open-planned homes. The art piece can be used for a statement piece for walls and can be described as oversized and one that catches attention.
I would balance the weight balance by associating the wreaths with rest degrees of waves. The lightweight unloaders and lowered coffee tables, as the wide area rugs. The oversized wreaths are an improvement for porches and patio as, one can view them with a greeting from afar.
As per my view, such large exceeding wreaths would benefit large homes, where the rest of the decor would look lost. Better Home and Gardens states such large wreaths will have a bold first impression and the rest of the decor would look ‘lost’ without them. Many of my clients have used oversized calendula flowers and an eye pleaser on the move.
I would for one, would position such wreaths not with the traditional decor – banisters and arst of the open and corridors and would even suggest a horizontal mount from the dining room ceiling.
Premium Christmas Wreath Collections
The 2025 Premium Christmas Wreath Collections emphasizes on the finest materials, expert craftsmanship, and exclusivity. I have now seen collections of wreaths adorned with Swarovski crystals, wrapped in velvet ribbons, and embellished with gold-dipped pinecones, each of which is a work of art in its own right. These wreaths are well-suited for opulent settings with an eye for detail.
Pieces, such as marble tables, velvet sofas, and glass chandeliers, easily accentuate and amplify the richness of the wreaths. I find that in formal living rooms and dining rooms, holiday wreaths are perfectly complemented with a few designer accent pieces.
In my experience, the designer wreaths are a wonderful investment for clients who want everlasting pieces of decor as well as collectors items. Vogue Living and many other publications have discussed the shift in luxury decor pieces, to timeless, reusable designs, rather than seasonal trash.
What I want to add is something which is often overlooked- the right kind of storage. For quality retention, designer wreaths must be carefully stored in protective cases for reuse.
Christmas Wreaths Full Of Playful Fun
Wreaths that are whimsical are meant for family get togethers that want wreaths that are more light hearted. I like to use wreaths that have small figurines, colorful ornaments, and even small stuffed animals for children’s rooms and family living areas. These wreaths certainly bring joy and festivity to the holiday spirit.
Complementary furniture includes comfortable sectional sofas, colorful throw pillows, and multi-colored area rugs. In children’s rooms, whimsical wreaths can be combined with cheerful holiday decor like Christmas stockings or themed pillows to make a joyful, thematic room.
Whimsical wreaths, to me, have crossed the line into a different domain. They do not concern themselves with opulence or minimalism, but instead focus on joy and family togetherness. Good Housekeeping loves to talk about family with kids decor as actively rather than passively playful, and that is exactly how whimsical wreaths are meant to be used.
I would enhance these designs with the addition of soft LED lights which bring charm and utility for nighttime.
Glass and Crystal Ornament Wreaths
These glass and crystal ornament wreaths provide refinement and sparkle during the holidays. These pieces add an air of sophistication and style to elegant living and dining rooms, especially when struck by light from surrounding chandeliers. They fit beautifully in both modern and classical homes, as the illusion of space they create makes the room feel more grand.
Glass dining tables, mirrored console tables, and soft, upholstered chairs in velvet and silk make great accompanying pieces. Crystal ornament wreaths positioned above a mantel or console offer decor that instantaneously brightens the entire room, as light reflects from the crystal and glass pieces.
These wreaths, alongside candlelight and chandelier light at night, create a stunning scene. In a more recent article, Elle Décor keeps discussing what they believe to be the glass ornament revolution, an emerging view in decor which emphasizes the beauty of light.
Additional suggestions I offer stress the use of crystal candle holders or glass vases to extend to the surrounding decor the principle of reflected light.
Chic Yet Rustic Christmas Wreath Suggestions
Classic rustic Christmas wreaths are always in style, but in 2025, the emphasis will be on the rustic chic style with a focus on refined details. Many designers are using burlap ribbons, pinecones, and wooden ornaments and are blending the rustic elements with glass or metallic accents. This combination adds warmth to the house without the dated or over sophisticated look.
To adorn rustic wreaths, I like to use wooden dining tables, leather armchairs, and warm plaid blankets. These elements amplify the rustic textures of the wreath. They are perfect for living rooms with fireplaces or entryways that greet guests with warm earthy sophistication.
I have always appreciated rustic designs for the warmth and welcoming atmosphere they bring during the holidays. Publications like Country Living show how rustic holiday decoration still resonates but the addition of chic details help in keeping it modern and current.
To make the decoration more immersive, I would suggest using scented pine or cedar to enhance the sensory experience.
Nature-Inspired Evergreen Wreaths
Nature inspired evergreen wreaths, holiday classics, never go out of style. For 2025, the focus is on authenticity—natural accents of dried berries, pinecones and twigs along with lush greenery. These wreaths seamlessly evergreen the holiday creations with a holistic look, making the whole setting very inviting.
Natural wood benches, linen/ textile upholstered furnishings and stone or ceramic accents all set the tone what these wreaths would look like. I have often styled the wreaths on doors of evergreen, rustic benches and woven baskets set nearby. It makes for very cohesive seasonal decor.
Martha Stewart Living said, “It is important to Invite nature inside the house during the holidays…” Evergreen wreaths do just the right balance of bringing natur and nature. I find these wreaths to evergreen especially versatile since they go with casual and formal interiors.
For further adornment, I would go for wooden and knitted decor that beautifully embraces the natural look and warm touch around the wreath, and around the wreath would knitted accents layered around.
Bold Metallic Christmas Wreath Creations
For 2025, the bold and glamorous wrapped metallic Christmas wreaths with bold ribbons of gold, silver, and bronze and metallic decorative strings creating a look for wreaths that captures the eyes. These wreaths are Xmas light wonders. Wreaths shine beautifully in contemporary styled living rooms and chic apartments.
I love the combination of metallic wreaths and glass coffee tables, wood pieces that have a great polish, and metallic accents such as candlesticks and trays. The gentle metallic hues and neutral walls of the room give it a sophisticated and celebratory feel, which is always enhanced with the addition of a wreath.
Metallic wreaths have always been a love of mine as they truly stand out and add sophistication to the space. According to The Daily Elle, it looks as if metallic finishes will be the focus of all holiday décor for 2025. This is a great way be is in the spotlight with latest trends, but most importantly, in a sophisticated way.
I suggest mixing matte and shiny metallic finishes in the same wreath to achieve a more depth and less flat surface. This will enrich the overall look of the decor pieces and achieve a more chic design.
Futuristic Led Wreaths
Fusion between technology and age-old wreaths with the addition of LED lights is a remarkable advancement in holiday décor. The most popular 2025 designs have the LED lights embedded in the wreath, glowing in warm and cool tones. Beyond festive delight, they add ambience to dim corners, as well as evening time, and glow to the decor.
For styling LED wreaths, I suggest sleek pieces of furniture, smart lighting installations and decor with clean edges. It achieves alluring frosty vibes which is more than enhanced by the glowing strip lights that are concealed and hidden around a modern console where the wreath is placed.
I find wreaths lit with LED lights practical and more captivating than traditional wreaths. Less string lights are required with these more lit-up wreaths, which also saves energy and space. Experts at Architectural Digest have pointed out innovations in lighting that are integrating wreaths into the home design, and these wreaths are a more practical example.
I think these wreaths have some of the most practical and programmable LED technologies, which should be capable of changing the color of the lighting to different hues in accordance with the mood the wreath is meant to create.
Recycled And Sustainable Christmas Wreaths
In the eco-conscious era we now find ourselves in, wreaths crafted from upcycled and recycled materials are becoming a big trend in eco-friendly Christmas wreaths for 2025. I have seen some stylish designs which use reyclable faux greenery, recycled paper ornaments, and repurposed fabrics. These wreaths show that being eco-conscious can also be stylish.
Accents and Furniture that are cohesive with these wreaths are reclaimed wood neutral rugs, cushions made of organic cotton, and tables. I have used these sustainable wreaths in interiors for clients that deeply care for eco-friendly living and find that they blend perfectly with the design.
I personally believe these eco-friendly wreaths are more than just elegant pieces of decorative crafts, they also showcase great creativity and responsibility. Wreaths are made with great care that focuses on eco-responsibility, which is an essential element of design in day to day living like publications that promote Dwell.
Improvement will be made more easily by combining these wreaths with other eco-friendly decorations, such as soy candles or reusable holiday garlands, to achieve a more sustainable decorating scheme.
Colorful Candy-Themed Holiday Wreaths
Candy-themed wreaths are playful, vibrant, and gaining popularity as a leading design trend for the holidays in 2025. These wreaths often have bright ornaments shaped like candy canes, lollipops, or gumdrops, making them perfect for families with young children.
To design around candy-themed wreaths, I like to add bold furniture accents, such as colorful throw pillows, lively rugs, and playful tableware. These cheerful touches emphasize the whimsy and enhance the joyful, holiday atmosphere.
Candy-themed wreaths, in my view, evoke a sense of childlike wonder. Good Housekeeping regularly suggests decorating family areas with bold holiday themes, and candy-inspired decor is right in line with that idea.
To enhance the overall look, I recommend using these wreaths in combination with gingerbread-themed accessories or lively stockings.
Gothic Inspired Dark Christmas Wreaths
For those with a daring and alternative take on the holidays, there are gothic-inspired Christmas wreaths. For 2025, these wreaths are decorated with black ornaments, dark florals, and touches of deep red or purple, resulting in a Christmas that is beautifully dark and a little moody.
I tend to pair these wreaths with darker pieces of furniture including black velvet couches, dark wooden tables, and metallic candle holders. Styled in a dining room or entryway, they help in setting an unforgettable and bold design.
I believe that gothic-style wreaths are designed for homeowners that are bold enough to stray away from the standard bright colors and traditional holiday wreaths. Publications like Veranda have pointed out the increasing interest in dark festive palettes that add a different layer of complexity.
To further improve and reinforce the theme, I suggest including accent lighting that are dimmable such as dimmable chandeliers or candelabra.
Art Sculptural Wreath Concepts
Wreaths to me are works of art, and so in 2025 the sculptural wreaths concept came to life. These wreaths do not rest flush against the wall, instead, they have layered branches that give the wreaths shape, framed in metal or accented with wooden art. They are great for modern interiors with uncluttered furniture that have straight lines, and every ornamental piece feels like it is well thought out.
With furniture pairings, sculptural wreaths are the best fit for living rooms with neutral toned sofas, and glass coffee tables, and open shelving. They balance the bold shapes and warm accents that modern furniture offers. I suggest suspending one above a console table, accented with candles and glass ornaments to further elevate the design.
In my experience, holiday decorating often calls for a combination of natural and metal materials. For example, Architectural Digest suggests using natural pine and adding elements of brass or copper to achieve a more modern holiday feel. I consider this during the styling of sculptural wreaths to make sure it is visually pleasing.
A simple recommendation to finish this section would be to place accent lighting around the sculptural wreath. A small spotlight or soft LED strip can enhance the sculptural depth and make it a focal point in the room.
Christmas Wreaths with Velvet Piano Ribbons
The moment I think of pianos, a lush fabrc is the finishing touch on the most elegant pieces of furniture. The wreaths become luxurious accents why to hing on half draped around them or even the bows. Lower changes, the deep jewel tones: emerald, safrone, and jewel blue, sparkle on the bland walls and muted holiday decor. This idea is equally suited for entryways or dining rooms where your guests hang out.
The blue wreath works perfectly with the ditched dining chairs, and the hefty wooden dining during chandiliers. Further harmonizing the whole theme of the room can be achieved by bunching of the velvet table runners or sprinkle throw pillows. This truly does provide a sense of the whole piece.
In my accout. The wide ribbons offered far greater results than the thin ribbons. Which had a far greater and more elegant look. I would also suggest adding in some pieces of warm toned layered textured lighting such as candles, or gold toned bulbs, to bring the warmth out of the velvet. It does bring the whole look together, and really makes it shine.
Creative Geometric Wreath Shapes
Aside from the usual circular shapes, the reason why geometric wreaths are becoming one of my favorite wreath design directions is because I can be more creative with them. I have used hexagon, triangle and even diamond-shaped wreaths with modern apartments that have an emphasis on sharp lines and symmetry. These shapes provide an architectural interest while also interjecting a festive spirit to the space.
It is a must to pair geometric wreaths with minimalist furniture. I enjoy juxtaposing them to perfection, and these include hanging them over a geometric couch, or over a wooden sideboard. Other geometric accessories, such as candle holders and angular vases, are also great to achieve a beautiful balance to the room.
From personal experience, instead of geometric shapes, I have noticed that these types of wreaths tend to garner the most compliments because they are “refreshing” and “modern.” Designers from House Beautiful also encourage the use of alternative shapes as a form of contemporary decor. I do appreciate the idea because it shifts the perspective of decor making it more creative.
In case I have to author this as a blog, I would add mirrored geometric shapes or metallic finishes to the wreaths to highlight the architectural form and also reflect the light.
Seasonal Floral And Berry Holiday Wreaths
With the right combos, floral wreaths featuring seasonal blooms and berries, while still timeless, manage to remain ingenious as we get to 2025. Personally, I enjoy the combination of red berries, white roses, pine cones, and eucalyptus. These not only provide a pop of color, but a lovely scent to the interior as well, while also being more delicate than a wreath comprising purely of evergreens.
For furniture, I find that melamine farmhouse dining tables, cushioned chairs, and comfy knits such as knitted throws work great. The floral touches work well with the rustic wood and neutral color palettes of the furniture and walls. In the dining room, having the wreaths and a table set, makes it very cozy and inviting for the holidays.
For wreaths, I’ve often used Martha Stewart’s advice to add holly or cranberries for a pop of color. These details add charm and make the wreath feel more real. The organic feel of the wreaths is always appreciated by the guests.
To enhance the dining table, I would also suggest a simple elegant centerpiece that matches with the wreaths, incorporating the same berries and flowers. It pulls the whole room together.
Whimsical Pom Pom And Yarn Christmas Decorated Wreath
Ever since I first came across pom-pom and yarn wreaths, I have associated them with a fun and lighthearted idea. These wreaths have a soft and playful vibe due to their whimsical nature and vivid colors, making them perfect for children’s spaces and family areas. Because they are soft in texture, they help make a home more casual and comfortable.
In my pom-pom and yarn wreaths I mix and match multi-colored yarns and oh-so-soft pom-poms to create the perfect festive accent. Lovingly, they remind me of the knitted yarn friends my grandmother would lovingly stitch for me as a child. I often place pom-poms in the living room wreathed around soft fabric sofas, playful accent chairs, and low coffee tables, dressed for the season with cozy knitted quilts and festive throw pillows. I like to think of the cozy knitted quilts as the icing on the cake to the perfect festive pom-pom wreath. This delicate touch instantly adds a relaxed holiday feel to the room without sacrificing any decor.
In my experience, I very much enjoy making these wreaths as a neat DIY project. I’ve been inspired ever since Real Simple suggested creating pom-poms using a yarn of different threads and thicknesses. The additional texture makes the wreath feel fuller and more wholesome, around festive clean and contemporary decor.
For the finishing touch, manticores also make a great festive pom-pom wreath to match the wreaths. Decorating with matching manticores made sure the fun festive pom-pom theme wraps around the whole room, which I love!
Monochrome Black And White Christmas Wreaths
In terms of modern styling, there is something bold and elegant about using monochrome black and white wreaths. They are striking and modern and fit wonderfully in minimalistic styled homes. The high contrast and monochrome merges make it a perfect focal point, and one, that doesn’t need any standard reds and greens.
They balance perfectly with black leather sofas, white marbled tables, and chrome or matte black lighting. I suggest using black and white patterned rugs and cushions or any similar items that tie in with the monochrome theme to create a nicely balanced styled space.
In my experience, monochrome wreaths impress many guests, as they are unexpected, yet still elegant. According to Domino magazine, there is a black accent trend in holiday décor, as it is a way to add décor without overwhelming a space with too much detail. I have witnessed this, and it works beautifully.
To improve this design, I would add a few small metallic additions, such as silver ornaments or subtle gold holders, to the candles, to balance out the design and add contrast to the color.
Designer Gold And Silver Luxe Wreaths
Gold and silver wreaths are a true embodiment of luxury and elegance. I have a preference for using these in formal living rooms or in the foyer where they are able to stand out against muted backgrounds. They are also perfect for evening gatherings, as the metallic shine tends to reflect light beautifully.
Some examples of furniture that can work well with the wreaths are glass coffee tables, velvet couches, and smooth, polished sideboard tables. I like to introduce some metallic accents in the room like gilded mirrors, and silver vases to compliment the wreaths.
I remember reading something in Veranda magazine that advocated combining different metallic finishes for depth, rather than only working with one. Taking that approach, I combined gold and silver in one wreath, and the results were quite pleasing.
If I were to build upon this further, I would recommend incorporating chandelier or sconces to the space for layered lighting that would help the metallic wreaths illuminate, and pop more than they already do in the space.
Interactive Advent Calendar Wreaths
Among the ideas for Christmas wreaths 2025, one that’s very interesting is advent wreaths. I enjoy this method because it tis the season for tradition and creativity. Each day during the advent season, a treat or a note of advent or something positive is placed inside a small pouch, box, or envelope that is clipped to the wreath. Each pouch adds a unique and festive look whuch makes the wreath a part of family rituals and makes the home interior vibrant and personal.
I like to place these wreaths in family rooms that have a cozy atmosphere and where kids play and hang out. The feel is set with soft sofas and low coffee tables and books in the built in shelving, holiday decorations, and even trinkets. I suggest placing the wreath on the mantle of the fireplace or the main sitting to aften so there is a focus on the wreath.
I have used these interactive wreaths and I have participate in fun holiday activities that have hands on decor that I have read about in Better Homes & Gardens. I couldn’t agree that kids and guests love this fun decor and activities.
I like the idea of placing some holiday mugs and a small wooden tray with some cozy packets to make a rugged wreath decor to set around the wreath.
Holidays Wreaths With A Touch Of Fairytale Magic
I think fairytales are incorporated into wreaths just like the phrase “neither here nor there.” Picture wreaths that come alive with mini castles, sparkling stars, and dainty woodland animal figurines. Such pieces can completely change the feel of an entryway and allow for extraordinary imagination.
I love how these wreaths are paired with cozy interiors that perhaps consist of warm and inviting armchairs, fluffy rugs, and soft windows that hang like clouds. A side table with an illuminating lamp complements the fairytale hue, while the rest of the room extends the theme with decorative figurines gracing the shelves.
I, for one, love how these wreaths come alive with stories. Designers for Country Living have often showcased whimsical designs as a means of adding a personal touch to holiday decor, and I can tell you that the guests I have hosted seem to absolutely adore these pieces.
For this specific section, I would add fairy lights intertwined with the wreath to create a neutral yet whimsical glow that makes the wreath appear as if it is a tiny window into a magical realm.
Paper and Cardstock Wreaths
In 2025, the focus of decor rests on sustainability, and wreaths made of paper or cardstock are a inventive way to celebrate yourself. I enjoy these wreaths for their super light-weight fram and the numerous customization options like layered lightly cut outs or folded origami style. They are best for flats or small areas where overly dense decor might feel like a burden.
I’ve placed them in home offices or reading corners where the style seems a bit more personal, yet still balances. Light desks, petite bookshelves, and plush chairs in this arrangement work in harmony with these homemade wreaths. When placed against a light neutral color wall, the wreaths easily pop.
In making these, I find a certain level of peace, calmness that I feel is appreciated only by me, and the folks at Real Simple, who specialize in holiday decor with a focus on crafting. I often cozy their suggestion of incorporating metallic or glitter paper to achieve a more elegant wreath.
If I were to develop this idea further, I would recommend attaching a few matching, lightly decorated paper snowflakes around to the wreath to make an elegantly unified sustainable holiday.
Sophisticated Beaded And Pearl Christmas Wreaths
One of the most elegant Christmas wreaths ideas is suggested for 2025 is the beaded and pearl wreath. I think of them as jewelry for the house, dainty and refined, ideal for decor with a focus on sophistication. These wreaths dazzle with lights, making the atmosphere a little extra festive and luxurious.
They work nicely with stylish interiors with velvet couches, mirrored coffee tables, and metallic lamps. In my opinion, the pearlized accents stand out the most when the room is softly painted in neutral hues. Pearl garlands and glass vases as decor to the wreaths complete the whole look.
There is no denial that pearls define elegance and sophistication. There was a time when I took one of Veranda’s recommended designs, which was to layer pearls with metallics, and that instantly transformed the look of the wreath.
As a finishing touch to the section, I would also suggest that the room is decor with candles in crystal holders. Their surfaces enhance the shimmer of the beaded wreath making the overall ambience feel complete, cohesively luxurious.
Holiday Wreaths Inspired by Music
For families with a sound passion, wreaths based on music sheets, instruments, and carols are a cheery addition. I enjoy adorning these wreaths with mini violins, gold bells, and rolled paper that looks like sheet music. It embraces the holiday spirit and the glee brought by music.
I personally like placing these near the living area with a piano or beside the entertainment area with speakers. Wooden sideboards, leather chairs, and warm rugs lend the right finish for that relaxed feel. This adornment feels like a natural fit in homes where music are a big part of family gatherings.
I have witnessed how delighted some guests are with the novelty of a musical wreath. Good Housekeeping once suggested embellishing with sound elements like tiny jingling bells, and I have done this for enchantment.
To add depth to this part, I would suggest placing the wreath beside a set of holiday records or instruments, as this complements the theme and encourages guests to join in the caroling.
Wreaths Made with Old Ornaments
Practical and chic at the same time, wreaths that are made from upcycled ornaments are a delight. I enjoy crafting unique pieces from my collection of leftover ribbons, mismatched baubles and other accessories. The wreaths are unique in the sense that they are nostalgic and eco-friendly, a perfect way to cherish memories.
I usually place these wreaths in family rooms and hallways rich with eclectic styles. They look especially good with casual furnishings such as fabric sofas, wooden coffee tables, and shelves overflowing with family photos as they accentuate the personal history behind these wreaths.
In my personal view, upcycled ornament wreaths do make engaging pieces. I once read in the holiday section of HGTV that combining different textured ornaments adds depth, and I can confirm that it does bring the wreath to life.
If this were to expand, I would suggest creating presence and cohesion between the wreath and the room’s décor by placing complimenting ornament bowls on surrounding tables.
Dreamy Winter Wonderland Snowy Wreaths
For that truly magical holiday feel, snowy wreaths bring the outdoors in. I like to use frosted pine branches, artificial snow, and icy crystals to turn the home into a winter retreat. They are especially stunning in living rooms or entryways with large windows as the frosting details radiate when kissed by the sun.
Snowy wreaths look stunning with white sofas, glass tables, and silver candlesticks. To reflect the outdoor winter textures, I love to use faux fur throws and soft fluffy pillows. The overall outcome is soft, soothing, festive, and exceedingly cheerful.
It is my view that cool LED lights really bring out the ambience of white snowy wreaths. House & Garden recommends the use of icy blue and white in a “winter wonderland” arrangement, and I believe this helps wreaths shine splendidly.
To improve this area, I would recommend the addition of matching snowy garlands along the staircase or mantel in order to carry the theme throughout the entire room.
Contemporary Homes Modern Neon Christmas Wreaths WOW!
I think neon art decor became really popular in recent years so standing out in Christmas wreaths 2025 will be just their chance! The neon brightly lit tubing wrapped around a circle looks great in modern homes with minimalist furniture. In a living room neon wreaths paired with modern leather sofas and glass coffee tables can be placed above the fireplace or next to the window to create a perfect glow focus point. They also look great by themselves and make nice addition to the front door for stylish night glow.
Details make this look! In the modern design anything paired with neon looks great, so I use neon snowflakes stars or neon reindeer and then coat acrylic or metallic Christmas ornaments to give that special elusive touch. I always recommend that neon wreaths be paired with room furniture that has a glass table, glossy acrylic finish or polished wood floors to complete the look and create that perfect glow.
In my experience, many people have strong feelings about neon décoration, but even for those who don’t love it, I think applied in small doses it can bring much needed pop, without feeling too busy. As stated in Architectural Digest, neon holiday decor is popular in high-end city apartments because it captures holiday fun and urban sophistication at the same time. I think those who love color and design should certainly try at least one neon wreath this year.
To improve this concept, I would suggest adding adjustable neon technology; dim for evenings and bright for parties, the wreath would become suitable for many more occasions.
Artesanal Holiday Wreaths: Hand-Painted
I also love how this type of décor is able to warm and fill up the house for the festive season, and more hand-painted Christmas wreaths are a great addition. They often have a natural base of wood or grapevine wreaths, painted with various seasonal patterns like holly, abstract winter designs, or even full out winter poinsettias. They are great for personal spaces, especially in an entryway or above a console table, where they become a centerpiece.
Each painted detail tells a tale. A hand-painted wreath with berries or snowflakes, for instance, looks lovely with wooden furniture, vintage sideboards, or soft neutral walls. In a dining area, one looks lovely over the buffet table, adding to the festive, gallery-like ambiance. The balance with the rest of the greenery ensures that the design feels modern but relaxed.
In my opinion, these wreaths are unique handmade touches that store-bought decorations lack. Elle Décor said that in 2025, artisanal décor has become a staple with homeowners wanting pieces that highlight creativity and uniqueness. For me, these wreaths go beyond decorations; they are small pieces of art, embodying the season.
To expand on this, I would recommend adding subtle LED fairy lights that are weaved into the wreath to highlight the painted details. This combination would showcase a wonderful balance of light with artistry and a fusion of the modern and traditional.
Chic Scandinavian-Inspired Minimal Wreaths
When it comes to holiday decorating, minimalism is one of the most useful holiday decorating techniques. Scandinavian frost wreaths, for example. I make these wreaths from eucalyptus, pine branches, or a simple thin metallic ring with a few sprigs of greenery. Minimal space arrangements. They work perfectly for a calming atmosphere.
The wreaths are from Scandinavian culture. They are appreciated when the interior has straight-lined, light-to-neutral upholstered, and natural hide furnishings and surfaces. An example would be one or two of the wreaths placed on a light oak dining set or one on a light gray wall. They raise the Scandinavian style to the next level. Adding a bit of greenery and soft light candle holders or simple glass baubles completes the wreath display for a gentle holiday feel.
In my opinion, the minimal wreaths capture Scandinavian design most. They combine beauty, ease of use, and practicality. Nordic holiday decorations promote coziness and balance which is something I hear from the homes and gardens magazine a lot. I find these compact wreaths useful for small apartments, especially because of the uncluttered feel they give the space.
By adding small ribbons or berries that switchable accents, a new style could be developed with this concept. This would allow for a practical wreath to be worn seasonally, which appeals to fashion-conscious consumers.
Custom And Personalized Christmas Wreaths
And the last style I would like to discuss is the personalized Christmas wreath, which has risen in demand in 2025. With family names, monograms, or even unique colors, a wreath has the potential to turn from minimalist decor to a true representation of the family. When ordered with a vivid wreath, a stenciled resting wreath provides a unique feature of hospitality to guests.
Customizations can also integrate family themed pieces like painted ornaments, embroidered ribbons, and radiate wood initials. In this example, the wreath is exquisitely matched to the rest of the room. A living room with gold accents and navy blue sofas can be complemented beautifully from a wreath with gold baubles and navy ribbons.
In my view, custom made holiday decor deepens attachment to traditions. Better Homes & Gardens notes that made to order holiday items are one of the strongest trends this year, especially among families who decorate to capture memories. Personalization, it seems, adds a level of intimacy that generic decor simply cannot capture.
If it were up to me, I would suggest adding keepsake ornaments to the wreath. This way it does not simply personalize by name or color, it also adds the memory, making it a treasured family custom year after year.
Wreath ideas for Christmas 2025 also maintain much of their charm in the choice of theme—be it minimalist or fanciful, eco-friendly or lavish. Each ideas makes its own contribution to a room, expressing individual style while celebrating the season. What are you planning to decorate with this year? I would love to know what are your favorite wreath trends—please tell me all about it in the comments.
