5 New Holiday Decor Trends to Style Your House for the Season

When it comes to holiday decor, the best displays are as much about creativity as they are about celebrating the season’s charm. This year, Rolling Greens offers a trend forecast that blends bold color stories, unexpected textures, and lush plant pairings for truly dazzling results. Whether you’re drawn to gem-like hues, rustic refinement, or timeless vintage vibes, these ideas are designed to inspire and elevate your seasonal styling. From layering terracotta and driftwood for a warm outdoor display to curating antique treasures for an indoor vignette, there’s a look here to fit every taste and space.

Plants take center stage in these designs, bringing life and structure to every setting. Imagine the soft greenery of Norfolk pines and lemon cypress topiaries paired with mossed terracotta for a natural, architectural feel, or the exotic touch of monstera leaves and phoenix palms transforming a rustic theme into something chic and unexpected. By blending thoughtfully selected containers, ornaments, and plant palettes, you can create a holiday display that feels uniquely yours—fresh, festive, and absolutely unforgettable. Here, the team at Rolling Greens shares their holiday trend forecast with five dazzling decor ideas and the plant pairings that will bring them to life.

Get the Look: Mix complementary shades of pinks and plums, along with bronze ornaments for a color drenched gem-hued display. Perfect for a table setting for accenting a buffet or entry console, this is a look that begs for textiles and layered drama.

3. Tinseled Terra-cotta

Thomas J. Story

Get the Look: Peach ceramics might be an unexpected choice to integrate outdoors for a holiday entryway or patio. However, Terra-cotta pottery paired with green ceramics and laced with driftwood pieces, beautiful jade stones and ornaments in blush or champagne tones is the classy cheer we needed.

Plant Palette: Olives, various cacti, assorted pines and cedars, dracaena draco, dracaena marginata, or acacia

4. Vintage Vibes

Thomas J. Story

Get the Look: More chic than kitsch, try curated vignettes of vintage decor pieces such as old books, wooden dough bowls full of ornaments, naturally shed antlers, antique picture frames, and taper candles. Stick to a monotone color palette of rusts and warm tones and frame these moments with faux lit garland to showcase your styling. 

Plant Palette: Button ferns, peperomia, faux garland such as magnolia.

5. Mossy Moments

Thomas J. Story

Get the Look: Naturally mossed terracotta pottery such as Campo De’ Fiori are the key to this architectural pine plant palette. Play with scalloped and uniquely shaped vessels and mimic those lines with both translucent and opaque green glass ornaments in multiple sizes and in different shades. 

Plant Palette: Norfolk pines, rosemary, lemon cypress topiaries and even bonsai.
