What if there was a way to make Christmas more affordable, sustainable, and in line with the decor already in your home, while still feeling festive? The Natural Christmas trend is making this beautiful idea a reality. For inspiration, look no further than Dan Levy's mantelpiece.
The actor and comedian took to Instagram to share his garland idea, and it's wonderful inspiration for keeping your Christmas decor earthy. Dan's fireplace is decked in evergreen branches, pinecones, and dried eucalyptus. Candles in clay vessels complete the look, and a fireplace kit (like these on-sale tools from Amazon) makes it feel more lived-in for everyday.
His take on Christmas decor represents a departure from the kitschy, plastic-filled looks we're seeing all over social media to a more curated and organic style. For those who want to be more sustainable, or just prefer a more minimalist holiday, it's a great option.
Natural decor is not limited to Dan's home; it's slated as one of the biggest design trends of Christmas 2025. Much of this move comes from a focus on wellness and the impulse to use decor that makes us feel happier at home.
Josh Branigan, Furniture and Home Interiors Expert at Cuckooland explains: 'Interior trends have taken inspiration from our surroundings, and the same will be applied to Christmas decor. Incorporating natural elements into interiors creates a serene space that helps us feel grounded and comforted. Nature-inspired tones, like warm browns, beiges, and muted greens, add warmth and sophistication, and this mood will be incorporated into festive decorating.'
