H&M released its holiday decor early - here's everything that's on my list
H&M Home's holiday decor is easy to fall in love with - from a pair of candy cane candles to a gingerbread-esque doormat among other festive selections
H&M always does the holidays well. In fact, as my go-to brand for affordable but elevated home decor, it's perhaps no surprise that its festive offering has got me excited, too.
So many of the designers we speak to use H&M Home as the place to finish off their schemes. H&M Home's furniture offering is a trove - newly grown to include lighting and larger pieces it is full of the sorts of styles that fit well into a minimaluxe scheme. Its festive approach is a little less, well, refined, but that's no bad thing in my book. The holidays should be fun, and that's H&M's approach, too.
Respectfully, there’s no need to wait until Halloween has passed to dive into the holidays. So by that logic, ‘tis already the season for warm drinks, cozy scarves, and lots and lots of shopping. And when it comes to where to buy Christmas decorations, you won't find a better one-stop shop. Change your decor from fall to festive with this early look at H&M’s Christmas collection, a few favorites from which I’ve gathered below.
H&M Christmas ornaments
H&M's ornaments are so wonderful and fun for the price. They manage to blend traditional shapes - wreaths and bells - with contemporary ideas that work just as well. There is quite literally something for every tree. My favorites so far this year include a sparkly lemon, a spicy chili pepper, and a wreath that - by being made of bells - ticks all my trad fantasies.
Price: $6.99
This spicy little number would go great on the tree. Colorful and fun, but still classy.
Price: $9.99
This cute and tiny wreath could serve as an ornament for your Tannenbaum or maybe a subtle little accent on your door.
Price: $6.99
A fun and fresh pop of color against those dark green and brown branches.
H&M Christmas taper candles
As a candle holder hoarder, I was absolutely delighted by the selection of holiday taper candles on H&M's website. There aren't too, too many options, but what is available is so darling and fun.
Price: $4.99 for two
I love the slight shimmer here. Gold and the holidays go so well together.
Price: $10.99 for two
These are just so much fun, and look thick and sturdy, too! Would be a great display during a holiday party.
Price: $8.99 for two
The rich green color on these combined with the upward twist is reminiscent of a Christmas tree.
H&M Christmas decor
Generally speaking, this section features one of my favorite finds of the whole guide. You'll be able to tell rather quickly which that is ...
Price: $21.99
I am positively obsessed with this door mat, if only because it looks like its made of gingerbread. (Just don't try to actually eat it.)
Price: $12.99
This pearlescent beaded garland is a great alternative to tinsel, and much less messy.
Price: $20.99
Nestle a few of these paper Christmas trees, available in multiple sizes and colors, around the house for an upscale holiday touch. This simple brown color would warm up and pair nicely with busier pieces.
H&M Christmas throws
Throws aren't, of course, a Yuletide exclusive, but they are particularly satisfying during colder weather. H&M's current selection includes a few stand-outs, including one extremely plush blanket I'm eyeing myself.
Price: $151
H&M's wool-blend throw - specifically in the light beige color - looks like something Gwyneth Paltrow would cozy up with in a cabin or lodge. (That's reason enough to buy.)
Price: $64.99
I like that the color of this throw is so obviously geared toward the holidays, but that the design necessarily isn't. For that reason, it could double as something to use year-round.
Price: $91.99
A plush throw like this invites lounging, particularly on Christmas and the days before and after. Not to mention the fluffy texture and white coloring remind me of snowy weather.
