2026 Holiday Décor Trend Forecast

A Glimpse into the Glow of Tomorrow

As the final twinkles of 2025 fade and storage bins are tucked away, one question remains for luxurious homes in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, and Phoenix: What’s next? At Margie Mae’s Holiday Decor, we don’t just follow trends, we anticipate them. And here’s an exclusive look at what’s shaping holiday décor for 2025 and 2026.

🎨 2025 Holiday Décor Colors

Soft Caramel & Cinnamon Brown — The New Neutral
Forget beige, 2025 is all about rich, warming brown tones like soft caramel, cinnamon, and Pantone’s Mocha Mousse (Pantone 171230). These nuanced neutrals feel indulgent yet grounded, reassuring and modern at once. 

Rich Accents to Deepen the Palette
Complement these base tones with jewel-inspired accents: deep plum, cosmic sapphire blue, and oxblood red, which create depth and festive richness without over whelming.

✨ Holiday Application:

• Trees dressed in caramel and cinnamon-brown ornaments, paired with plum velvet ribbon.
• Garlands with warm white lights, brown pinecones, and sapphire baubles.
• Tablescapes featuring mocha linens with ruby or sapphire centerpieces.

🌟 2026 Holiday Décor Colors

Transformative Teal — The Bold Signature Shade
For 2026, WGSN and Coloro have crowned Transformative Teal, a lush blend of deep blue and aquamarine, as Color of the Year. This shade evokes ecological renewal, sophistication, and emotional balance

Supporting Palette: Jewel & Earth Tone Ensemble
Backing up the teal are oiled bronze, weathered clay, plum, muted rose, and nocturnal black. These tones offer layered elegance, textural warmth, and stunning contrast.

✨ Holiday Application:

• Outdoor lighting: Install color changing lights in transformative teal with warm white LED lights in the trees. 
• Sculptural pieces: Feature weathered clay or plum-toned statues for refined statement décor.
• Interior styling: Use teal glass ornaments, muted rose ribbons, bronze accents, and noir details for luxe sophistication.
