The season’s trendiest ornaments take their cues from nature.
Some of our favourite holiday ornaments are the ones from German companies like Inge-Glas — glass moulded and painted in shapes that range from the classic (Santa Claus, Nutcrackers, candy canes) to the culinary (pickles, cupcakes, teensy Champagne bottles) to fancy, maximalist ornaments in bedazzled jewel tones.
But among the hottest trends this year are ornaments that could have been spotted on a walk through the woods. Think: magical mushrooms, acorns, chestnuts, pine cones, hedgehogs and barn owls, as well as prettily decorated balls all in warm, autumnal shades of bronze, copper, ochre and the like.
It all taps into our craving for earth tones and nature’s soothing balm, a feeling of peace and joy when we need it most.
