The seven new trends cover all bases, with something for everyone's taste.
1. Snowscape trend
Apparently, a white trend is always the biggest hit with the brand's customers. Think snowy white and icicle-style decorations, pretty ballerinas and frosted glass, with a delicate hint of eucalyptus green.

Conceived by Dan and his team as the theme to bring you into 2020, this theme is less traditional and more celebratory. Neon disco shades pop against deep blue and navy colours with sequinned, star and showgirl-shaped decs.

The secret to making your tree Instagrammable
Each of the new trends at John Lewis & Partners features a number of oversized decorations, from massive mushrooms to large neon lit stars. Dan Cooper, Christmas Buyer at John Lewis & Partners, explains: 'The introduction of large decorations this year has been driven by Instagram. People love Instagramming their trees and its a very difficult thing to do when you have lots of different, small decorations. One of the tricks is to use something larger to create a focal point to anchor a photograph. All of our oversized decorations are very light, so they're very easy to hang on a tree.'
