Atmospheric lighting ideas

Atmospheric lighting is an essential part of the festive season. Soft candlelight helps you slow down and creates a cosy, feel-good atmosphere. Candles, lanterns, candle holders and the like look particularly decorative for the 2026 festive season in a trendy metallic look.

Decorative glass accents

Glass accessories combine elegance and transparency in a unique way. Few other materials appear so understated and yet so striking at the same time. Whether clear, with delicate textures or coloured – glass blends harmoniously into any interior style. By the way: vases, bowls and other glass objects can be styled anew with each season. At Christmas with fir branches and baubles, then in spring with fresh flowers and twigs.

Christmasworld Trend „light“

Every year, the Christmasworld trends reveal which colours, shapes and future styles are set to dominate festive décor. For 2026, trend researchers have identified, amongst others, the ‘Light’ style. It embodies lightness and poetry. Matte silver hues, delicate pastel shades and organic shapes create a floating, almost surreal aura through multi-sensory experiences. A trend that will endure for many years to come…

Metallic highlights for the festive table

Gold, silver, copper and exquisite metallic effects are among the defining features of an elegantly dressed festive table. Metallic surfaces reflect candlelight beautifully, enhancing the warm and celebratory atmosphere. Particularly attractive contrasts are created when these finishes are combined with natural materials such as wood, linen or ceramics in soft, earthy tones.
