In Spain, New Year’s decor has long evolved from a simple tradition into a true art form, with new trends emerging every year. For 2025, florists suggest moving away from the classic Christmas tree and opting for fresh arrangements of pine branches and unusual accents. This approach not only saves space but also encourages creativity, allowing you to create a unique atmosphere at home.
Instead of a bulky tree, bouquets made from pine, cypress, or thuja are increasingly used, easily arranged in a vase. Blending different types of conifers adds depth and volume, while touches of eucalyptus or ruscus give the decor a modern flair. The key is not to overdo the bright greenery, so as not to lose the winter vibe. Restrained, rich shades look especially stylish and avoid any spring associations.
Unusual ornaments
Ornaments remain an essential part of New Year’s decor, but this year the trend is shifting toward nostalgia and originality. Decorations made of foil, reminiscent of childhood and Soviet-era festivities, are back in style. Vintage glass figurines, ornaments with folk patterns, as well as animal and fairy tale character designs—all contribute to a special sense of comfort and warmth.
Many florists recommend not being afraid to experiment: dig out old ornaments from your grandmother’s collection or hunt for unique finds at flea markets. Even a few vintage decorations can completely transform the atmosphere of a room. If you want something truly original, try ceramic ornaments shaped like mushrooms or beans—such details are guaranteed to stand out.
Wreaths and arrangements
A Christmas wreath is another holiday symbol that’s becoming increasingly popular in Spain. You can hang it on the door, place it at the center of the table, or even use it as part of your table setting. Wreaths are made from pine, moss, tillandsia, or rattan, and decorated with ribbons, dried citrus, cotton, and cinnamon. For a minimalist look, just a couple of decorative elements and a delicate string of lights are enough.
A wreath can easily be adapted to suit any interior style: natural rattan can be left its original brown or painted white, gold, or any other shade. The center often features a candle or a vase filled with beads and pinecones—this makes a striking table centerpiece. The key is not to be afraid to experiment with the shape and filling to create truly personal decor.
Flowers and plants
Christmas decor in Spain is no longer limited to just pine branches. This season, special attention is given to amaryllises—their bulbs are sold prepped for blooming, covered in wax. Simply place such a bulb in an elegant bowl, and within a couple of weeks you’ll enjoy vibrant blossoms. Not only is it beautiful, but also extremely convenient: minimal maintenance, maximum effect.
Along with amaryllises, poinsettia, strelitzia, ilex, brunia, rose hips, and holly branches are popular. Arrangements are complemented with dried flowers, cotton, and berries, usually in white, scarlet, or sophisticated blue tones. This decor fits easily into any interior and stays fresh for a long time with just a bit of simple care.
Table setting and details
Table decoration is a source of special inspiration. This year, large velvet bows are in vogue, serving as the main accent of any table setting. They can be used to adorn chairs, dishes, or even as part of a centerpiece. And don’t forget about candles, beads, pearls, and dried flowers—these details add both coziness and a festive touch.
A special place belongs to the mandarin: it’s used not only as a treat but also as a decorative element. The fruit appears in facade decorations, gift sets, and even on festive tables. Gold and glitter are another trend this season. Transparent and silver decorations evoke the feeling of fresh snow and make the atmosphere truly magical. This year, florists recommend not holding back—New Year’s in Spain is the time for the boldest ideas.
