Modern or Traditional Christmas Decorations This Year?
There are clearly two main ideas when it comes to Christmas décor. Some people like traditional Christmas decorations, as perhaps they prefer that old customs and practices are not be tinkered with. Then there are some people want to introduce a more modern style through use of unconventional Christmas ornaments and colour schemes, which are available in abundance these days in the shops.
There is not right or wrong answer when it comes to festive style and trimmings! It is all down to personal preference, and here at UK Christmas World we pride ourselves in the fact that we are able to cater to all tastes with our fantastic stock on our website!
In this blog we want to take a little look at the many kinds of Lights, Trees, Decorations and more on our website for both the traditionalists and modern lovers out there…
So, are you a true traditionalist when it comes to your Christmas décor? Do you still believe in using the customary red, green and gold colours and use ornaments, toys, baubles and tinsel to trim your tree?
If this is you, you’ll be glad to know you’re in the right place to find amazing, new traditional decorations this festive season…

Perhaps you decorate your home with more contemporary trimmings? People don’t shy of using their favourite colours for Christmas decorations, doing away with the conventional red and green. It is not rare to come across Christmas decorations that are blue, silver, pink, purple or even some black thrown in too!
There are homes that infuse an element of modernity right from the Christmas stockings to Christmas trees and everything in between! The same can go for Christmas lights too. There are hundreds of varieties, designs and colours to choose from, it is just a matter of letting your imagination go wild. The end result, though far from the accepted traditional Christmas decorations, can create a great impression.
Check out some of our modern Christmas lighting here. White LED lights are the perfect backdrop for a modern décor scheme, creating a fresh and bright atmosphere. So our 96 White Battery Powered String Lights will be an ideal item, whether it’s to place them on your Christmas tree or elsewhere around the home.
Or for placing on surfaces around the home e.g. table tops, shelves and window sills, our Copper Barrel Lights are great for adding a modern touch to any home. The copper colour is right on trend so perfect for updating any room of the house.
Another way of adding light to your home is by adding one of our lit displays to your home, just like our Wire Framed Reindeer and Sleigh Display. Lit with 280 warm white LED lights this will make an eye-catching decoration for any room of the home or outdoors in a sheltered area.
Or how about our Set of 3 Crackle Ball Lights, lit with cool white LEDs, which would make a fantastic centre piece for your dining table this festive season, but could be used all year round!
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a wreath to hang from your door! We have lots of great choice even if you’re going for a modern décor scheme, just like our Copper Metal Wreath that has built in warm white LEDs. This would be perfect for brightening up any modern doorway.
Or if you want to go with something a little more rustic and wintry, our Luxury Champagne Gold Wreath is a great choice, decorated with gorgeous festive pine cones and glitter baubles.
