Nostalgic or Vintage Christmas decor is going to be one of the hottest decor trends of the upcoming season. I have seen it pop up everywhere and everyone raves about it, but what is it and how to decorate?!
Well if we think about nostalgia it is always something from the past and it is the same here. So if you have a grandma who still has her Christmas decor from 30 or 40 years ago down in her basement or in the attic you are heading into the right direction. Everyone else like me has to browse the internet to find some treasures on etsy or hope to make a gorgeous find at a fleamarket or an estate sale. The third option would be to go online and buy some new but old looking pieces. This will most likely be all of us.
There are millions of pieces to choose from so I am going to break down what´s really counting as nostalgic and what not. There haven´t been nude or beige or brown or minimalistic tree decor. A tree has to be so full with ornaments, tinsel and colorful lights that no branch is free. The more the merrier!!!
A great example for some nostalgic Christmas decor is the movie Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. My number one Christmas movie and the perfect source to gather some inspiration. The Christmas tree is full of different and colorful ornaments and popcorn garlands. They have a wooden pyramid in the living room and the reindeer mugs for the eggnog. You can also find needlepoint stockings and Santa mugs.
Decor Items I have found to be fitting for the theme
