Many holiday décor enthusiasts eagerly await U.K. department store John Lewis to proclaim its key trends. (Along with its iconic Christmas ad campaigns, the retailer is known for its of-the-moment holiday designs from the sophisticated and traditional to the overthe-top.) This year’s top look is a flamboyant 80s and 90s nightclub-inspired “Party” theme. This look features decorations inspired by the disco scene, and according to the store, is “designed with nostalgic night clubs in mind, the technicolor haven of rainbow hues, bright lights and sequins will take your home from Christmas dinner through to New Year’s countdown.” With bursts of bright lights juxtaposed with holographic textures, it creates an exuberant environment to celebrate the holiday season. This vibrant theme is all about using uncoordinated mix-and-match decorations with interesting shapes, textures and bright colours, to create a strong, eclectic and very personalized look. It’s probably safe to blame this nostalgic and highly visual trend on Instagram.
