Christmas Decorating Trends in Ohio
There’s nothing quite like the holiday season in Ohio — from the twinkling lights at Cleveland’s Public Square to the decorated storefronts and festive neighborhoods across Cincinnati, Columbus and beyond. In recent years, Christmas holiday decorations have been about preserving traditional decor while blending it with bold, personalized styles. Whether you’re decorating a century-old brick home or a modern suburban space, these trends will help your Ohio home or business shine this season.
Moody Hues and Warm Metallics
Many residents in Ohio and around the U.S. are using deeper, richer colors like forest green, navy, burgundy and merlot instead of traditional bright reds and greens. Most of them pair these colors with warm, metallic accent colors like champagne gold, brushed brass and soft copper. This combination creates a cozy and warm feeling, especially suitable for snowy Ohio winters, and complements properties with red brick or stone exteriors.
Vintage Designs
The classics are officially cool again. Think old-school multicolor C9 bulbs, blow-mold Santas and reindeer, and symmetrical arrangements. This vintage style is particularly fitting for historic towns in Ohio, such as Chagrin Falls and German Village, where a strong sense of tradition prevails.
Natural elements can also blend seamlessly into this nostalgic style. Property owners pair fresh greenery like pine garlands and cedar swags with warm lights to create displays that feel cozy, handcrafted and reminiscent of simpler seasons. These elements work beautifully both indoors and outside.
Personalized or Themed Trees
Christmas trees are becoming a canvas for self-expression. Families are choosing themes that reflect their interests, travels, favorite colors and personal stories. Businesses can also take this route with trees that represent their achieved milestones or the personalities of their team members. This trend makes the tree a meaningful focal point, rather than just another seasonal decoration.
Giant Life-Size Decor
Steubenville’s famous Nutcracker Village has inspired more Ohio residents to make a bolder impression by including giant nutcrackers and other oversized holiday figures in their displays.
